Surface Prep

Mechanical grinding is required prior to application of Flex Guard™-FM. Use 80 grit diamonds to achieve a CSP#3 profile. When used as a mastic: Hydro Blast at 5000 psi. When used as a crack sealer: Use grinder to remove any loose concrete. Smooth edges of crack. Plow crack out with a air blower. Substrate must be free of grease, standing water and other contaminants that may impede adhesion. Always check the surface for any bond inhibitors prior to application.

Procedure

Remove nut and plug from the cartridge. Attach static mixing tip to cartridge. Place cartridge in dispensing gun. Pull trigger on dispensing gun and burn 2 oz into a cup. As a Mastic: Apply directly to substrate. Using a putty knife, smooth to desired finish. As a crack filler: Apply epoxy directly into crack until level with the floor. Allow to dry 2 hours before top-coating. When being used in conjunction with BGFL76: Use a putty knife spread Flex Guard-FM over the crack to cap it in epoxy leaving a 3-inch space for epoxy ports to be applied. Apply Flex Guard-FM to the outside edge of the port. No Flex Guard-FM should block the center passage of the port.
