MIXING
Mix only as much Splash Zone Epoxy and Underwater Epoxy Paste Product
#2707 as you can use within 20 min. 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 Splash Zone Epoxy and Underwater Epoxy Paste Product
#2707 to prepared surface as quickly as possible.
It is always best to do a mockup to verify that your surface preparation is
adequate. This product is intended for hairline cracks and other fractures up to an
1/8 inch in width. Remove all unsound concrete from within the crack to be
repaired and thoroughly remove all debris from within the crack opening.
APPLICATION
For best results, apply Splash Zone Epoxy and Underwater Epoxy Paste Product
#2707 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 Splash Zone Epoxy and Underwater Epoxy Paste Product
#2707. 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.

should be between 60 and 90° F. Low temperatures or temperature fluctuations may
cause crystallization.
PRODUCT MIXING
This product has a mix ratio of 2 parts A to 1 part B by volume. To mix, simply
measure out equal volumes of the material and mix them together thoroughly with
slow speed mixing equipment such as a jiffy mixer, putty knife or spatula until
the material is thoroughly mixed and uniform in color. Mix only an amount of
material that can be used in the allotted pot life period. Improper mixing may
result in product failure.
PRIMING
No priming is necessary.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
The mixed material can be applied by marginal trowel, putty knife or any
other suitable equipment. It is important to thoroughly work the paste into the
repair area so as to displace any water from within the repair area. This
product can be used underwater as well as in any area where the flow of water
cannot be controlled.
