Problem |
Possible Cause |
Solution |
| Material does not cure. | Material was not mixed properly | Make sure all start-up procedures are followed. Check for any blockage of cartridge openings. |
| Material is slow to cure | Low ambient temperature | This material will set in approximately 10 minutes at 72° F. Cooler concrete and sand temperatures will increase cure time. |
| Cartridge is hard to pump or surges off ratio. | Rear plunger is sticking. Slight leakage (mostly found in partially used cartridges) has caused the "A" (light colored) material to crystallize on the plunger causing sticking and surging. | Carefully rim the skirt of the plunger seal with a small, flat screwdriver. |
| Material has cured inside the static mixer or Flow Controller. | Replace static mixer and Flow Controller if needed. | |
| Cured material shows intensive marbling and striations. | Inadequate mixing. | Follow start up procedures carefully. Make sure all air pockets are bled off before application. Use medium even strokes when applying material. |
| Improperly placed or missing Flow Controller. | Make sure the holes in the Flow Controller restrictor line up with the openings in the cartridge. Hold the static mixer in place when securing the retaining nut to prevent the Flow Controller from twisting. | |
| Material foams, bubbles, or grows when curing. | Moisture is in contact with the material. | Make sure sand is dry. When concrete is damp or green, dry with a heat gun or propane tourch. Apply a layer straight 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ to the area. Allow to cure and continue the repair. |
Wipe tools clean with a rag before material is allowed to cure. Cured material may be removed by abrading with a wire brush or soaking in acetone, xylene, MEK, or epoxy thinner. USE EXTREME CARE WHEN WORKING WITH INDUSTRIAL SOLVENTS.
10 Minute Concrete Mender™ is very aggressive and will stain exposed skin. Gloves should be worn to keep material from contacting skin. In the event of skin contact, remove immediately with an industrial paint and stain hand cleaner.

Empty cartridges may be disposed of with normal waste disposal methods in accordance with Federal, State, and local environmental control regulations.
Unused material is best disposed of by mixing equal parts of side A and side B and allowed to cure in a waste container. Cured material may then be disposed of with normal methods.
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Properly protected personnel should contain spill. Ventilate area, cover spill with sawdust or other absorbent material. Scoop and place in open container and treat with decontamination solution (93% water, 5% ammonia, 2% detergent). Leave open in a ventilated area for 24 hours.
DISPOSAL METHOD: Bury or landfill decontaminated waste in accordance with Federal, State, and local environmental control regulations.
