WARNING! 
DIRECTIONS 
Rok-Hesive depends for its binding and water¬ 
proofing qualities on its penetration of the sur¬ 
face and must, therefore, have a fairly porous 
surface which it may penetrate. 
Add contents of container, or 10 pounds of 
Rok-Hesive powder slowly to one and one-half 
quarts of water, stirring until thoroughly mixed 
and smooth. Let stand for 30 minutes and it is 
then ready for use. 
PREPARATION of the SURFACE 
Rough, unpainted cement, stucco, brick, con¬ 
crete, unglazed hollow building tile and masonry 
surfaces require only brushing and cleaning to 
remove dust and loose particles. These surfaces 
must be wet, but do NOT apply Rok-Hesive to 
new stucco or cement. Allow at last three weeks 
for the cement to cure, otherwise a white alkali 
may appear on the surface. 
Moisture is absolutely necessary to thoroughly 
harden and set Rok-Hesive. Therefore, it is al¬ 
ways absolutely necessary to moisten the surface 
thoroughly with water before applying Rok- 
Hesive. 
This moist surface will make it spread more 
easily, help to avoid laps and will make the ma¬ 
terial go farther, and "set” more quickly. 
IMPORTANT! 
It is important that the surface be in proper 
condition before applying Rok-Hesive. Wash 
surface thoroughly with clean water. If applying 
on old construction, scrub surface with a stiff 
brush, then wet surface until well soaked. Apply 
Rok-Hesive with a stiff bristle brush while the 
surface is still damp. Wait 24 hours before ap¬ 
plying second coat. Wet surface before applying 
second coat. 
When using Rok-Hesive in colors: After mix¬ 
ing with water, add three ounces of boiled lin¬ 
seed oil to each 10 pounds of Rok-Hesive used. 
Best results are obtained when temperatures are 
from 60 to 80 degrees. 
Use Rok-Hesive outside or inside. Use it for 
painting concrete swimming pools. Use it for 
stucco homes, concrete office buildings, grana¬ 
ries, silos, concrete bridges and barns.

KEEP AIR TIGHT 
Do not mix at one time more Rok-Hesive than 
will be applied in one hour. 
Do not add water to powder; add poivder to 
water. 
Do not attempt to tint white or colors or 
intermix colors. 
Do not, under any circumstances, add extra 
water or coloring material, but follow directions 
absolutely. 
Do not use Rok-Hesive on surfaces which 
have p~eviously been painted or water proofed. 
It should not be applied to wood, metal, glass, oil- 
paint, oily or glazed surfaces. 
When directions are followed Rok-Hesive be¬ 
comes rock hard and a part of the surface to 
which applied. 
Rok-Hesive comes in 10 pound containers, 
packed six to a case. Also furnished in 50 and 
100-pound drums on order. 
SUGESTIONS IN USING 
ROK-HESIVE IS A COATING designed pri¬ 
marily for use on UNPAINTED Cement, Stucco, 
Brick, Tile, Concrete, Stone or other mason- 
surfaces. It should NOT be used on wood, iron 
or any surface which has been painted previously 
with oil or cold water paint. If the stucco or 
cement surface has previously been coated with a 
cheap "brush coat,” or water paint, it is usually 
easy to remove the old coat and restore the sur¬ 
face to its original condition, thus making it 
suitable for the application of Rok-Hesive. Re¬ 
newal coats may be applied as time requires.
