ROADWARE 10 MINUTE CONCRETE MENDER™
Practices
and Transportation
Keep cartridges in original foil bag and store in
an upright position.
Store on a cool dry place between 10-28 degrees
C (50 – 80 F). If cartridges are allowed to freeze below – 10 C (14 F) some material separation
can occur. Return material to 25 C (75 F)
and shake or mix to re-blend before use.
Handle with care. Punctures to the bag can cause
moisture contamination. Rough handling can cause cartridge cracking and
leakage.
Ship in upright orientation in original shipping
containers.
Read and follow illustrated instructions.
Use gloves and safety glasses. Concrete Mender is very thin and can
splash back if applied erratically.
Make sure the flow-restrictor and mixer seat
properly.
Use a new flow-restrictor and mixer every time.
Small cracks less than 2mm should be cut open to
5mm for best results. The 5mm cut
will form a, “well” for the product to accumulate as it soaks down into the
crack and will reduce material spreading on the surface away from the repair
area.
Once material is flowing from the mixer, keep the
tip pointed down. Use the thumb
release on the gun to stop the flow.
Discharge the material from the cartridge
firmly. Working too slowly can
cause poor mixing.
Always apply a coating of Concrete Mender into the crack or spall before adding sand. This will give you better penetration and bonding.
When applying with sand, make sure the sand and
repair area are completely saturated with Concrete Mender.
repair area.
13. Needle tip mixers are great for better control and pinpoint application. They also can easily clog up when left filled with mixed product. Do not try and force a mixer or tip to clear by adding more force to the gun. You can blow out the rear seals and cause a mess. Get a new mixer or tip and start over.
