Important: Immediately pour the mixed material onto the prepared surface. Do not leave mixed epoxy in the container, as heat buildup can rapidly shorten its working time and make the material unusable.
An approved compatible accelerator may shorten cure and working times. Use an accelerator only when specifically permitted by the current product instructions and follow the required dosage and temperature limitations.
Coverage, working time and cure times are approximate and will vary with material temperature, ambient temperature, slab temperature, surface profile, application thickness and jobsite conditions. Always review the current Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheets before use.
