Extended Product Information

FAQs

How much area can the kit cover?

Coverage depends on the size of the included fibreglass mat and the depth/size of the damage. For larger repairs, additional kits or materials may be needed.

Can I use the kit on a fuel tank?

Yes, the repaired material is resistant to petrol and can be used on fuel tanks, provided the damage is minor and the repair is properly executed.

What is the shelf life of the resin and hardener?

Shelf life can vary, but generally, the resin and hardener should be used within 12 months of purchase. Store in a cool, dry place.

Can I paint over the repair?

Yes, after the repair has fully cured, you can sand the surface and paint it to match the surrounding area.

What safety precautions should I take?

Wear gloves, and work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists. Follow the instructions on the packaging.

What is the setting time?

Initial setting time is between 50-70 minutes. Full cure time depends on ambient temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Repair is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly abraded. Re-apply the repair, ensuring thorough coverage and contact.

Repair is not hardening.

Check the mixing ratio of resin and hardener. Ensure that you have mixed them thoroughly. Verify the hardener is not expired.

The repair is cracking.

Ensure that the fibreglass mat overlaps the damaged area by at least 20mm. Apply multiple layers for larger repairs. Allow sufficient time for the repair to cure completely.

Air bubbles in the repair.

Press the fibreglass mat firmly against the surface during application to remove air bubbles. Use a brush to smooth the surface and remove any trapped air.
