Directions for Use
Mixing
Twist or cut off required amount. To mix, knead with fingers to a uniformed colour. If mixing is difficult, warm to room temperature or slightly above. Apply to the surface to be repaired (within 2 minutes of mixing). The mixed epoxy does not exhibit high bond strength at this point, but appears to be merely lying on the surface. Force into any cracks or holes to be filled and strike off excess material, preferably with a tool wetted with clean water. When applying to a damp, wet or slowly leaking area, Work the material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect.
For a smooth appearance of the cured compound, hand rub with water or a damp cloth prior to hardening.
Hardening
Remove excess material before hardening begins. After 20-30 minutes, the epoxy will harden like metal and start to form a tenacious bond. After just 60 minutes, it is completely cured and can be drilled, sawed, carved, sanded, stained or painted.
In order to achieve optimum adhesion, surface should be cleaned free of grease or dirt. Scuffing or sanding the surface prior to cleaning helps to ensure a good bond.
