Product Expert Notes
Choose LD-2 when the finished surface will be smooth-troweled, stained a bright or light color, or textured, since its white base keeps light stains true. Always follow the TDS mixing ratios with the specified acrylic modifier, and sample a small area when staining to confirm color. For grey knock-down texture or dark stain work, LD-3 or LD-5 may be more appropriate.
Cement powder is alkaline and dusty; wear gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when mixing, and follow the SDS and TDS instructions.
