How to properly use a epoxy cartridge system

Through our experiences we have developed the following recommendations for successful epoxy cartridge applications.

1. Remove the the tip(s) of the cartridge(s) to expose the epoxy. Position the mixing nozzle over the tip(s). Place the retaining nut over the mixing nozzle and screw and tighten the retaining nut until secure.






2.
Clip the tip of the mixing nozzle to the desired thickness of bead if needed (just like caulking tubes). For knifegrade material you may need to clip the tip back most of the way back.






3.
Dispense the first 25ml (or 3-4 inches) of the mixed product onto a spare piece of cardboard.
After the first 3 or 4 inches, the product should be fully mixed when it exists the mixing nozzle. Check for thoroughly mixed color at this point and then start dispensing as needed into the crack or hole.


4.
When you are finished with the application you first should take the mixing nozzle off and wipe tip of cartridges with a cloth. Try not to drag A product into B hole. Wipe down when holes are horizontal.


5. Fill tip(s) with plug(s) to store product. Note: Do not put product plug A in product B cartridge hole.
