onto the prepared area, working the material into any cracks and surface
defect. If Reinforcement Bandage is
used to strengthen the repair, the bandage should be impregnated with
MetalGrade Express, or the bandage should be laid over the surface of the
MetalGrade Express and pressed into the surface. Additional MetalGrade
Express should then be applied over the surface.
Once the MetalGrade Express has reached initial set the material can be
separated from surfaces treated with release agent.
When MetalGrade Express is being used to repair leaking pipes, the
flow through the pipe should be discontinued until the repair is made
and the MetalGrade Express is set. Any leaking fluid must be wiped
from the prepared surface before undertaking the repair.
4. Machining Once the MetalGrade Express 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.
