Tru Pac X Mortar Convert Kit Vertical Carving Mix
Tru-Pac X is a high-performance vertical carving mix converter that delivers ultimate versatility for your decorative concrete projects. Unlike traditional carving mixes that crack or lose adhesion when applied thin (under 1/2 inch), Tru-Pac X excels at all depths. Designed to handle application thicknesses from under 1/4 inch to 4 inches on a properly prepared surface, it allows you to tackle everything from thin plaster-coat treatments to deep artificial rock features with a single product.
By combining one 16 lb Tru-Pac X conversion kit with one standard 80 lb bag of Type S mortar mix (available at home improvement centers everywhere), you create a full 100 lb batch of premium carving mix for a fraction of the price of pre-bagged alternatives.
Why Tru-Pac X is the Industry Standard:
- Unmatched Compressive Strength: Achieves up to 5,000 PSI, outperforming standard 1,800–3,000 PSI mixes for superior durability.
- Integrated Micro-Fiber Technology: Specially formulated fibers control shrinkage and cracking without snagging or hanging on your carving tools.
- Massive Savings: Eliminates high freight costs on heavy sand and cement, keeping thousands of pounds of dry goods out of shipping fees.
- Proven Worldwide: Trusted by top decorative concrete artists, film production studios, and major theme parks like Disney and Universal Studios.
Features & Benefits
- Immediate Stamping: Can be stamped almost immediately after smoothing onto the vertical surface.
- Extended Carving Time: Long open window gives carvers maximum time for deep texture and fine detail work.
- High Build Capacity: Allows buildouts up to 4 inches over a proper scratch coat without sagging.
- Thin Coat Versatility: Ideal for rustic, old-world plaster treatments (use a mild scratch coat for thin coats).
- Natural Color: Cures to a realistic buff-gray tone, perfect for staining and coloring.
- Coverage Rate: Approximately 12 sq. ft. at 1.5 inches thick per 100 lb combined batch.
