SURFACE PREPARATION:
For best results clean area to be repaired to remove loose dirt,
scale and oils. Use Acetone, MEK or a simular solvent and a
degreaser if oils are present. If possible sand or grind the
area with course paper or disk
MIXING:
Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick scraping
sides and bottom of container or mixing board. Mix by Volume 1
parts Base to 1 part Activator. Mix thoroughly to produce an
even colored, streak-free material.
THINNING:
If desired, thin with Kelone blend from 5% to 7.5% by
volume. This will increase working life and slow cure time. Also
will reduce verticle/overhead hang.
APPLICATION:
Use heavy plastic squeegee or putty knife. Work material into
profile of substrate to achieve maximum adhesion and to remove
any entrapped air. Contour to correct form with putty knife or
plastic applicator. If mold or form is used, coat its surface
with a release agent to prevent adhesion of the material.
Machining is possible using diamond tipped tools only. Sanding
Grinding is possible if done within 1 hour of application at
77ºF, 25ºC. Caution: Material cures rapidly. Use only the
quantity of material which can be easily applied within 4 to 5
minutes. Spreading mixed material on a mixing board or other
flat surface will extend the working life. Large holes and
cracks can be bridged with glass or metal cloth.
APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:
Material: Keep between 55 to 95ºF (17 to 35ºC). Substrate: keep
between 45 to 105ºF (7 to 40ºC). The difference in temperature
of the substrate and the material should never exceed 10ºF, 5ºC.
Substrate shall be a minimum of 5ºF (3ºC) above dew point. Do
not apply if relative humidity exceeds 90%. If necessary heat
the metal prior to surface preparation using electric heater or
heat lamp. Never use gas, oil or kerosene heaters as they will
leave a greasy residue on metal surface. For best results keep
all material in warm area overnight (75ºF+) for ease of mixing.
If necessary Base component of material can be heated by
microwave for 30-45 seconds for a 1 KG Base unit or by warm
water bath. Heat activated by warm water bath only. If necessary
let material cool before application. Caution: Material cures
rapidly. Use only the quantity of material which can be easily
applied within 4 to 5 minutes. Heating will accelerate cure
time.
OVERCOAT / CURE TIME:
Recoat as soon as possible while material is still soft,
within 1 hour at 77ºF, 25ºC. If overcoat window is exceeded
abrade surface with course sandpaper, grinder or brush blast.
Full cure before immersion 45 minutes at 77ºF. Add 15 minutes
additional cure time for each 10ºF below 77ºF. Subtract 10
minutes of cure time for each 10ºF above 77ºF.
CLEAN UP: Clean tools immediately after use
with M.E.K., Acetone or similar.
