Installation

General Instructions
If using cartridges, additional usage directions are available. See our information sheet labeled “Cartridge use directions”. See separate doweling, laminating, and patching instructions for more specific instructions. CSI format specifications are available.

Surface Preparation & Use:
Use gloves, wear eye protection, and avoid skin contact. When grinding cured joints, wear a dust mask. Substrate to be bonded must be completely dry and dust free. Mix only the amount of epoxy which can be used in 30 minutes. Avoid stressing joint before complete cure of epoxy. Mask areas which must be kept free of epoxy. Clean tools of un- cured epoxy using toluene or xylene. Use caution, these solvents are flammable, and ensure local ventilation. Remove cured epoxy mechanically.

Mixing instructions:
All materials should be at or above 55°F. Combine the two in - gredients at the following volume ratio: Two parts of WaterJet Part A to one part WaterJet Part B.

Temperature dependency:
Temperature will affect the working properties of the material. Every 15°F results in approximately doubling the speed of cure. Therefore, at 90°F set time is cut in half, at 60°F the set time is doubled. Do not use on substrate at a temperature below 55°F.

Coverage:
Approximately 30 square feet per gallon when applied at 50 mils (1/16th of an inch). 231 cubic inches per gallon.

AVAILABILITY

Packaging and storage:
WaterJet A and B are available in quarts, gallons, 5 gallon pails and cartridges. Thickening powders are available for increasing viscosity.
