DIRECTIONS FOR USE
This product is NOT for use on PLASTIC fuel tanks. The
repair resin is designed to harden within 8 – 10 minutes and
cures in 30 minutes. Read all directions before beginning
repair. Repairs can be made ideally at temperatures from
50°F to 75°F. Repairs made at lower temperatures will take
longer to cure.
1. Remove gas cap to vent tank. Make sure there is
adequate ventilation. Drain tank or reduce fluid level at
least 2 inches below damaged area.
2. Prepare damaged area by removing any oil, grease, tar
or dirt, etc. from the repair area. Sand the affected area
to at least 1 inch beyond the damage. Clean the area
with alcohol swab.
3. Break off the appropriate size piece of putty and place
over the leak. Cut the fiberglass cloth to fit within the
sanded area.
4. The resin must be mixed and applied in less than 8
minutes as the resin will begin to harden. Mix the resin
as follows: Burst the seam that separates the two
materials by applying pressure to one side. Knead the
contents of the pouch back and forth until the mixture is
of uniform color (mix for 2 minutes maximum).
5. Cut off the top of the pouch and dispense some of the
resin mixture onto the damaged area. Spread the resin
mixture in a uniform layer with the supplied brush onto
the area to be covered by the fiberglass. (Note: The
material will become warm to the touch.)
6. Place the fiberglass over the resin covered area. Spread
the remaining mixture over the fiberglass until it is
completely saturated. Taper the areas of the repair
beyond the fiberglass. Smooth the repaired area with the
brush.
Repair will be complete when the resin cures in 30
minutes. Tank may be refilled after 30 minutes or when
the repair is tack free.
For Cleanup
1. Wipe off any uncured resin with a cloth.
2. Uncured resin may be cleaned up with a cloth saturated
with alcohol.
3. Cured resin will have to be scraped off or chipped off.
4. Clean hands with alcohol for uncured resin. Cured resin
on hands will wear off.
5.
