WHY USE FER-A-LITE
SYNTHETIC MORTAR?
A Revolution in
Ferro Construction Digital Edition
Most Ferro-mortar
boats have been compromise designs considering the penalty carried by excessive
weight. The results vary between boats with insufficient righting moment to
efficiently carry sail, to boats floating way below their water line.
FER-A-LITE Synthetic Mortar combined with WIRE-PLANK system produces a new
material with weight comparable to aluminum.
EASE OF USE
The light weight
cohesive consistency of the mixed FER-A-LITE Synthetic Mortar makes it easy to
work into the wire mesh armature without leaving voids. The fact that this
mortar forms an excellent bond to itself allows one to apply the mortar to the
hull in easy increments. This eliminates the terrible pressure and the
"Panic Party" of plastering the entire hull in one day.
CURE
The very critical moist cure of
Portland cement is replaced by an overnight air cure with 90% of physical properties
reached in one week. Optimum working temperatures are from 50-70 degrees F.,
but never below freezing.
Never attempt
plastering FER-A-LITE Synthetic Mortar in direct sunlight. In a hot climate,
the plastering should be done in the evening, allowing the material to cure
over night in a cool environment.
