GENERAL INFORMATION
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
The surface of the substrate must be clean and dry. Remove all dirt, grease and foreign material by cleaning with suitable solvent, sand blasting, mechanical abrasion, or acid etching.
MIXING
In order to obtain good results, resin should be pre-mixed and then the hardener should be added. Thorough mixing of the ingredients is essential. Usually the resin and hardener are mixed in small quantities to extend the working time and prevent high exothermic reaction and pre-gelling.
APPLICATION
To ensure good adhesion between the substrates, it is recommended to apply rich layer of homoge nous blend uniformly on the surface and fifill the dents and pinholes. Adequate cuing normally takes place within 24 hours, post curing at temperatures more than 40°C is recommended.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT
Tools and equipment used during the process are best cleaned immediately after use since removal of cured resin is diffificult and time consuming. It is recommended that the bulk of the resin be removed using a scrapper and the remainder washed away using solvents such as toluene, xylene or acetone.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
Please dispose off containers of the materials as per local laws, rules and regulations. Usage of gloves, safety masks and other safety apparel as per health and safety laws should be done. Especially wear a respirator when sanding cured resin, and if you use alcohol inks DO NOT use a flame to remove bubbles, as alcohol is flammable. For further assistance, please refer to the MSDS of the product for further health and safety information.
