MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT STORAGE: Product must be stored in an area that will bring the product to room temperature prior to using. Continuous storage should be between 60 and 90 degree F. Keep from freezing

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION: To ensure a trouble free bond, all dust, oil, dirt, foreign contaminants and laitance must be removed. It is recommended to perform a moisture test to determine that the concrete is not wet and is able to be repaired. This can be done by placing a 4’X4’ plastic sheet on the substrate and taping down the edges. Once 24 hours has passed, and the substrate is still dry below the plastic sheet, then the substrate does not show signs of eventual hydrostatic pressure problems that may later cause disbonding. This test does not guarantee, however, that there may not be future hydrostatic pressure issues in the future.

PRODUCT MIXING: This product has a one to one mix ratio by volume-merely mix 1 gallon of part A with 1 gallon of part B. Only mix the amount that can be used in the noted pot life period. If the entire kit is going to be mixed, simply pour the entire quart of Part B into the quart of Part A and thoroughly mix until blended and is streak free. If partial batches are made, an example making 8 oz of gel, pour 4 oz of the Part B into a measuring bucket. Scoop out the Part A using a putty knife and place it into the same measuring bucket, compacting it as necessary, until it’s filled to the 8 oz mark. Mix and blend thoroughly prior to using.

For best mixing results and proper blending of parts A and B, recommend a Jiffy Mixer style drill mixer.

Product Application: This is a fast curing product, once mixed you must apply it immediately. Once blended, if left in bucket, the gel will cure in 10 minutes, so it is imperative to determine how much product is needed, make smaller batches if necessary. Use a putty knife or trowel to apply the gel in any crack, divot, or joint. Install the material flush with the floor, trying not to over apply it, causing an elevation in height. This product is ideal when repairing concrete vertically, the viscosity will allow the gel to remain in place without running down.

RECOAT OR TOPCOATING: If grinding the material is desired, allow for full cure. Once the gel has been applied, it is not necessary to wait until it’s fully cured to install a system over it, make sure to not spike into the gel. In a thick mass, the gel will cure in 10-15 minutes, at that point, often times, the system will be applied over the gel.

Refer to the cure schedule as a guideline to follow, in addition we strongly recommend to test the coating before recoating or topcoating. This is done by pressing your thumb on the coating in multiple places to ensure a fingerprint impression is not visible. If there is no impression visible, then coating the floor can be done. Note, colder or hotter than 75 degrees can affect the curing time schedule  

CLEANUP/FLOOR CLEANING:Use solvents for cleanup. When cleaning the floor, CAUTION! Some cleaners may affect the color of the installed floor. Test each cleaner used in a small area, ensuring no damage occurs.

RESTRICTIONS: Restrict the use of the floor to light traffic and non-harsh chemicals until the floor is fully cured, refer to the cure schedule. Allow the floor to remain completely dry during the curing process
