Epoxies are very good in water, saturated salt solution, leaded gasoline, mineral spirits, ASTM #3 oil and pro-
pylene glycol. Epoxies are generally not recommended for long term exposure to concentrated acids and organic
solvents. For immersion applications this product is not recommended.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
Proper surface preparation is essential to the success and performance of any epoxy application. In all cases, the
application surface should be clean, dry, free from oils, and rough.
1. Remove all oils, dirt and grease by means of a strong cleaner/degreaser (Devcon Cleaner Blend 300 is suitable
for this process).
2. Roughen the surface by grit blasting (8-40 mesh grit) or grinding. A 3-5 mil profile is desired for most applications.
3. All abrasive preparation should be followed by another cleaning to remove any remnants from that process.
4. Ideal application temperature is 55-90oF. Under cold conditions, heating the repair area to 100-110oF is
recommended.
5. Add hardener to resin and mix thoroughly with a screwdriver or putty knife until a uniform, streak-free consistency
is obtained (about 4 minutes).
MIXING: Mix Ratio: Resin to Hardener: Weight 1.07:1, Volume 1:1
6. Spread mixed material over the repair area and work firmly into the substrate to ensure maximum surface contact.
7. To bridge large gaps or holes use fiberglass tape, expanded metal or mechanical fasteners.
CURE:
l Working time is 4-5 minutes @ 75o F.
l Functional (75%) cure is achieved in 1 hour @ 75o F.
l For maximum physical properties, heat cure for 4 hours @ 200oF after curing at room temperature for 2-1/2 hours.
