flow through the pipe should be discontinued until the repair is made
and the MetalGrade Ready-Stick is set. Any leaking fluid must be wiped
from the prepared surface before undertaking the repair.
4. Machining Once the MetalGrade Ready-Stick
has cured for the minimum time indicated in the Curing Properties
Section of the product specification sheet, sanding, grinding and
machining etc. can be carried out using standard engineering practices.
5. Cleaning
All equipment should be cleaned IMMEDIATELY after each use with
a cleaner. Failure to follow this procedure will result in application
equipment becoming unusable.
6. Health and safety
