- Step by Step
Surface Preparation
All the corroded steel on the repair area should be fully exposed and all loose particles along with rusted scales shall be totally removed. Steel should be cleaned to a bright condition especially at the rear of the exposed bars by wire brushing or grit blasting. Ensure the surface is clean and dry and clear of oil, grease, dust etc.
Mixing
Mix the contents of the pail with a paddle mixer fitted to a slow speed drill to remove any sediment prior to application.
Application
Application can be done by brush. Ensure that the entire steel is coated properly. A second coat is recommended to be applied so that all pin holes are covered completely. The second coat shall be applied only after first coat dries off completely. The application of repair mortars should start immediately after the coating dries.
