Coating ICF Foundation Styrofoam with Tuff II

The first step to protecting your above grade foundation styrofoam with Tuff II foundation coating is to clean off any yellow oxidized EPS and dirt or debris. I used a small broom and a wirebrush which works quite well. Next we unrolled the Sticky Mesh HD which is a fiberglass reinforced mesh fabric which sticks to the styrofoam and gives the coating it's strength and a nice bond to the surface. After the sticky mesh was laid out covering the whole ICF foundation, we mixed up the Tuff II in the bucket with 12 ounces of water using a drill mounted paint mixer. This loosens the mixture up a bit and makes it easy to pour into the textured spray hopper. This kind: https://amzn.to/2LrJ8my

Then we just sprayed a nice even coat over the foundation, and someone went over it with a trowel or a knife right after spraying, although it could have stayed without sliding or falling off the wall just fine for one person to spray, run out of material in the hopper, then go back and trowel.
