PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 SURFACE PREPARATION
- Prepare surfaces per Surface Preparation Guide.
- Remove all dirt, laitance, grease, curing compounds, and contaminants by sandblasting or mechanical abrasion.
- Blow out and vacuum clean joints immediately prior to installation.
- Ensure concrete is at least 28 days old or has completed primary shrinkage.
3.02 APPLICATION
- Insert backer rod into joint bottom to prevent three-sided bond and control depth.
- For flat surfaces, pour Product #11 directly into joint. For vertical or overhead surfaces, thicken with Epoxy.com Product #71 per manufacturer instructions.
- Apply using caulking gun, trowel, putty knife, or by pouring.
- Mask edges of joints where cosmetics are important. Remove masking immediately after tooling.
- Allow to cure per manufacturer's instructions before subjecting to traffic or load.
3.03 LIMITATIONS
- Do not thin with solvents; improper cure will result.
- Do not apply to new concrete until primary shrinkage has occurred (minimum 28 days).
- Minimum installation temperature: 50 deg F.
3.04 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause eye and skin irritation. If contact occurs, wash immediately and seek medical help. Use safety glasses with side shields and wear protective rubber gloves. Refer to Safety Data Sheet for complete safety information.
3.05 CLEANING
Clean tools and equipment before material gels using MEK, acetone, or lacquer solvent.
