Application
Mixing - Bulk: Combine Part A (resin) and Part B (hardener) in the correct ratio and mix thoroughly until the color and consistency are uniform.  EPOXI-PATCH® Tube Kits have been designed so that squeezing EQUAL LENGTH BEADS of Part A  5-20 minutes at a maximum of 150°F/66°C temperature.

Mixing - Cartridges: Place cartridge in proper dispenser.  To begin using a new cartridge, remove the cap and dispense a small amount of adhesive, making sure both parts A  5-20 minutes at a maximum of 150°F temperature.


Clean Up: It is important to remove excess adhesive from the work area and application equipment before it hardens. Many common solvents and citrus cleaners are suitable for removing uncured adhesive.   Consult with your supplier's information pertaining to the safe and proper use of solvents.
