INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PREPARATION
The substrate should be clean solid and dry. Fresh concrete should be over 28 days old with a surface moisture below 5 %. Laitence should be removed by acid etching or mechanical means. All debris should then be removed and the concrete left to dry. Surfaces contaminated with oil or grease should be flame cleaned or thoroughly washed with a good detergent followed by clean water and left to dry. Steel surfaces should be sandblasted, primed and then filled with Araldite Hole Filler.

MIXING
Mechanical mixing of resin based materials is preferred whenever possible. Mixers running at less than 400 rpm are recommended.

APPLICATION
Araldite Hole Filler is supplied as three pre-weighed pack in exact proportions. No other materials should be added.
STIR CONTENTS OF EACH TIN THOROUGHLY. Pour the entire contents of the hardener into the resin and mix until uniform. Add the filler slowly while mixing. Continue to mix until a smooth paste is achieved. Apply the paste to the concrete with a steel trowel working it into all cavities and scraping off excess material.
Leave to harden and apply the top coating within the specified overcoating time. If not intercoat adhesion will be impaired.

CLEANING DOWN
