COLD REPAIR COMPOUNDS

How to apply the product Application should be carried out as soon as possible after surface preparation is completed, otherwise oxidation can take place. Do not apply product when relative humidity exceeds 85% nor when surface is less than 3 °C above the dew point. NB: The work site temperature must be above 5°C (40°F) in order for the polymer chemical reaction to take place. Always measure out Base/Activator quantities accurately in line with the instructions on the data sheet. If a critical application, use mixing ratio by weight. Mix Base and Activator until streak free. Paste materials should be mixed on a clean flat surface. Spreading the mixed product out thinly on a board will assist in dissipating the heat and slow down the curing reaction. This will also remove any entrapped air present in the mix. Fluid grade materials can be mixed together in the base container. When applying the product on the surface to be repaired, do not heap the product on. This will lead to bad bonding and entrapment of impurities. A good bonding is secured by pressing a thin layer of product onto the surface, working it down in cracks and openings, squeezing out any impurities like oil and water.
