Special
Applications
How
temperature
affects
gel
time.
A
general
rule
of
thumb
is
that
for
every
10°
F
rise
in
temperature
,

the
gel
time
reduces
by
one
half.

Special
Applications
Problem:
My
gel
time
is
too
fast.
Solution:
Reduce
the
temperature
of
the
tanks
by
adding
ice,

beginning
with
10
lbs.

In
each
tank,
more
than
two
bags
per
tank
is
not
recommended.
Special
Applications
Problem:
My
gel
time
is
too
long
and
I
only
have
60°
F
water
available.
Solution:
Add
an
extra
2
lbs
of
AV­

and
AV­
102
AP
to
the
typical
recommendation
of
5
lbs.
Special
Applications
Problem:

I
have
a
more
than
normal
flow
of
water.
Solution:
Reduce
the
amount
of
make
up
water
in
both
tanks.
You
can
only
do
this
during
mixing,

so
it
is
a
good
idea
to
anticipate
this
problem.
Solution:
Pump
more
grout
than
normal
to
compensate
for
the
dilution.
