Instructions for Use
AD-TEK PLUG can be dry applied as a powder or applied by hand as a putty consistency after mixing with water by spatula:
- The repaired materials must be cleaned of oily substances, dust and dirt.
- Thoroughly and quickly mix the powder and water for no more than 60 seconds in approx. mass ratio of 3 to 1. Some heat will be released.
- Mix only the quantity that can be immediately applied by gloved hand or trowel.
- Quickly place the mixed mortar firmly into the leaking voids and hold in place with a gloved hand or trowel until the mortar is sufficiently hard to remain in place.
- When the leak is completely stopped, a 2-3 mm layer of AD-TEK R can be applied over the AD-TEK Plug mortar.
- If the water pressure is very high and dislodges the applied mortar, use a timber plug or similar which can then be covered and secured with AD-TEK Plug mortar.
- All tools must be cleaned with water after use. Hardened AD-TEK Plug can only be removed mechanically.
