15. USING A STANDARD CEMENT MIXER
   
          Make sure that the inside of the mixer is free of grease, oil, earth, wood, hardened concrete remains, or their contaminant substances.

With the mixer operating, pour in a little sand.

Without stoping the mixer, add the amount of cement and water indicated in the Proportions Table, and mix until a slurry of cement without lumps has been formed (approximately 1-3 minutes).

Add the amount of , according to the Proportions Table, and mix in, until obtaining a uniform mixture. The axis of the mixer should be in an horizontal position as much as possible, in order to make the mixing easier.

Add the rest of the amount of sand indicated in the proportions Table.

Mix until obtaining a pasty and homogeneous mixture.

It is greatly important to take into consideration the material amounts specified in the Proportions Table. THE OBTANED CONCRETE SHOULD NOT BE LIQUID.
