Always read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before use.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, to avoid skin contact.
• Utilizzare in un'area ben ventilata.
• Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, flush immediately with water for several minutes and seek medical attention.

3. Componenti del prodotto

Each package of J-B Weld WaterWeld contains:

• One (1) stick of two-part epoxy putty (resin and hardener).

4. Preparazione

Proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion.

1. Ensure the repair area is clean and free from dirt, grease, oil, or loose debris. For best results, roughen smooth surfaces with sandpaper or a wire brush.
2. For underwater applications, remove as much standing water as possible, though WaterWeld is designed to cure effectively in wet conditions.
3. Determine the amount of putty needed for the repair. It is recommended to cut off only the required amount to avoid waste.

5. Istruzioni per l'applicazione

Follow these steps for effective application:

1. Cut off the desired amount of WaterWeld putty from the stick.
2. Knead the putty thoroughly with your fingers until it achieves a uniform color (off-white). This ensures proper mixing of the resin and hardener.
3. Apply the mixed putty firmly to the repair area. Press it into cracks, holes, or gaps, ensuring good contact with the surface.
4. For best results, apply within 2 minutes of mixing.

6. Curing Process

WaterWeld undergoes a chemical reaction to harden and bond.

• Imposta ora: Approximately 25 minutes. During this time, the putty will begin to harden and can be shaped or smoothed.
• Tempo di polimerizzazione: Approximately 1 hour. The product will reach its functional strength after 1 hour.
• Guarigione completa: For maximum strength and chemical resistance, allow 24 hours for a full cure.
• The cured color is off-white.
