RubberGrade 6 Rebuild is a two component, solvent free, synthetic
rubber repair compound. Areas of application: hoses, gaskets, rubber
rollers, ducting, impellers, valves etc.
1. Surface preparation
Heavy contamination due to oil or grease must be removed using a
cleaner. Any areas of frayed or fragmented rubber should be cut
away to provide a sound repair area.
Rubber surfaces are best roughened using a stiff-bristled or stiff-wire
brush. All surfaces MUST be dry.
Edges of repair areas should be rebuilt. All loose dust particles must
be removed and the surface wiped with a cleaner.
On certain repairs such as gaskets and castings where one surface is
not required to bond to RubberGrade 6 Rebuild, these surfaces should be
treated with a release agent.
2. Mixing
Remove the twin pack from the aluminium outer foil by cutting along
the lines indicated. Take care not to puncture the pack. Remove the
divider strip black rubber and take off the plastic divider clip. The
contents are now ready to be mixed.
Mix the two components by kneading and squashing them together for 4 -5
minutes. The pack will warm up as it is being mixed.
Ensure there is no unmixed material caught in the corners of the pack. If
there is, ease them out of the corners using the white plastic clip.
Cut any corner and squeeze out the RubberGrade 6 Rebuild onto the repair
surfaces.
3. Application
Using the spatula provided the mixed material should be spread evenly
onto the prepared area, working the material into any cracks and surface
