MIXING
Mix only as much as you can use within 2 hours or less at 70 degrees F.
If the temperature is higher your working time will be much shorter. It is
always better to start with smaller batches and to gradually increase the size,
to be sure that you have enough working time. Material temperature should be a minimum of 60°F
for ease of mixing. Mix "A" & "B" Components together, by hand, until a uniform
gray color is achieved.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all deteriorated material, barnacles or other marine
growth by mechanical abrasion, water or sand blasting. Typically the better the
surface preparation, the better the bond. To avoid contamination,
apply OSVX765 Splash Zone Coating and Underwater Paste to prepared surface as quickly as possible.
It is always best to do a mockup to verify that your surface preparation is
adequate.
APPLICATION
For best results, apply Product #OSVX765 Splash Zone Coating and Underwater Paste by hand using
tight-fitting rubber or plastic gloves. (Wet gloves with slightly soapy water
before working with material.) Press material onto surface and knead into place
in maximum lift thickness of approximately 2". Smooth gently by rubbing with
gloves using water as a lubricant. For smaller areas you can use a concrete
grout bag.
LIMITATIONS
Do not thin Product #OSVX765 Splash Zone Coating and Underwater Paste. Since conditions content vary greatly, it is recommended that a sample application be made to
ensure the intended performance. Do not apply when water or ambient temperature
is below 50°F.
