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.
