Concrete surfaces should be dry. Notes:

Holes drilled for anchor bolts should be thoroughly
cleaned from dust and lose debris using suitable brush or
compressed air.
 Slow speed mixer (i.e. 300 rpm) should be only used.
 If drill mixer with helix paddle is used, then the rota on
of the paddle should be upward mixing to minimize
the entrapment of air (i.e. the rota on of the mixer
makes the blades move material from the bo om of
the bucket to the top).
