PREPARATION & APPLICATION
-
1
Clean off all loose scale, rust and other foreign objects.
-
2
Apply the Petrolatum Tape, a 50% overlap is recommended. Wrap tightly, firmly press and smooth all lap seams. Remove any air pockets, by molding with your hands, in the direction of the wrap.
-
3
Using the rubber gloves supplied, remove Syntho-Glass® from the hermetically sealed foil pouch and soak in temperate water, salt or fresh, for 20-30 seconds. If the application is under water, do not open the foil pouch of Syntho-Glass® until ready to begin installation.
-
4
Remove Syntho-Glass® from the bag and begin wrapping tightly; a 50% overlap is recommended. Squeeze and mold the Syntho-Glass® with your hands, in the direction of the warp, removing excess water and spreading resin until tacky.

NOTE: For best results, a UV protective paint coating is suggested on applications where Syntho-Shield™ is exposed to the sun. Applications on high impact zones such as pier pilings and splash zone coatings require 8 layers of Syntho-Glass® for maximum strength.
