1)
Catalyst
must be added prior to use. Scrape sides
of container with a Liquid Rubber spatula to ensure catalyst distribution.
2)
Xylene
or Mineral Spirits Solvents may be added to adjust viscosity or for clean-up.
3)
Easiest
way to spread the rubber on a flat surface is to broadcast material with a
rubber squeegee then roll using a short nap roller. Product is self leveling. A flat spatula can be used for small
areas.
4)
Product
has a long pot life after catalyst has been added; 4-6 hrs. depending on
temperature.
5)
Only
temperature affects the rate of cure.
Relative humidity has no influence.
6)
Product
is hydrophobic (sheds water) so substrate to be coated must be dry
initially. The uncured rubber can get
wet or even have ponding water, with only a cosmetic effect after application,
and will still cure.
7)
The
rubber will penetrate into porous substrates such as wood and poured
concrete. A primer/sealer should precede
application of rubber.
8)
The
chemical reaction of the catalyzed rubber can be arrested by freezing the
material. This can keep material usable
for weeks or months. To use again simply
allow it to reach room temperature and apply.
