General Instructions
(See separate dutchman and travertine filling instructions for more
specific instructions. CSI format specifications are available)
Surface
Preparation and Use
Use gloves, wear eye protection, and avoid skin contact. When grinding
cured product wear a dust mask. Substrate to be patched must be completely
dry and dust free. Mix and apply the entire kit at one time. Avoid stressing
the joint before complete cure of product. Mask areas which must be kept
free of product. Clean uncured product from tools with toluol or xylol.
(Use caution, these solvents are flammable. Ensure local ventilation.)
Remove cured product mechanically.
Mixing Instructions
See back of page for graphical and written instructions for kit use.
Last Patch™-Gel has a mix ratio 1:1 by volume. Product can then be
tinted (do not exceed 5% by weight polyester colorant addition.) Product
can then have stone aggregate added.
Apply with trowel or other implement
into and over the area to be repaired.
Temperature Dependency
The adhesive, substrate, aggregate, and environment’s temperature
will affect the working properties of the material. With all items at
700F (21.1 0C) the standard product will set up in approximately 15-20
minutes. Grinding may be performed in several hours. Full cure 48 hours
Coverage
2 oz. kits contain about 4 cubic inches of product. Call Bonstone for
coverage of your project.
- Stone aggregate is often approximately 50%
of a patch volume, so double the volume of the cartridge for a rough
estimate of coverage.
Availability
