Bau groesseren Rauhtiefen muss eine Kratzspachtelung bestehend aus 1 Gew.-Teil des A und 4 Gew.-Teil des B durchgefuehrt werden.

The context is the mixture of bitumen and concrete for laying the sub-base for floors. Any civil engineers around?

This Kratzspachtelung is further mixed with other components to achieve homogeneity.
