Here is an outline of the procedure for patching with Epoxy.com Product #1 and Product #10. Cold cure is identical but you should make even smaller batches and work even faster.
- Mix a small amount of the #10 (mix ratio 2A: 1B).
- Measure accurately and mix for 3 minutes with a proper size mixer.
- Typically very small batches less than a quart can be mixed with a stir stick.
- Larger batches should use a mixing paddle in a low speed drill or similar. Typically mixing paddles are 5 inches or more in diameter.
- Apply a primer coat of #10 at a rate of 250-300 SF per gallon (typically done with a roller) to the substrate the mortar is to be attached to.
- Typically you will allow this to harden to the touch to make troweling into it easy.
- You can trowel into the wet primer in the case of small patches.
- Mortar Patch
- Mix another small batch of #10, using the methods in step 1 above.
- Add Product #82 Mortar Blend Aggregate to the mixed resin in 3a. You can add as much as 50 to 75 lbs. of mortar blend aggregate to a gallon of mixed #10 resin. If the material appears to wet you can add more, if it is too dry add less.
- Quickly trowel the patch into place. Winter Cure Epoxy can set very fast in the bucket.
- Sealer Coat
- After the patch in step 3 has hardened, you can grind off any high spots and fill more material again if needed.
- Then seal the top of the patch.
- Product #10 is thinner than the #1, making it an excellent sealer for sealing up the patch.
- Alternately you can go directly to a very thin coat of #1
- Top Coat
- Mix small batches of #1 using the methods used in #1 above.
- Mix optional Antiskid fine into the coating above at a rate of 8-16 volume ounces of Anti-skid per gallon of mixed resin. 12 ounces per gallon is typical. This is done by mixing the resin first, adding the anti-skid and mixing for another min.
- Quickly apply the material with a roller at a rate of 160-200 SF per gallon per coat. Two coats is recommended.
