•The tightness of the wrap is very important.

•It is important that the bandage is applied quickly as curing begins once it is taken out of the water.

•Difficult applications may require multiple bandages.

•Pipes with temperatures over 150° Celsius (300° Fahrenheit) may cause toxic fumes.

•Rapp-it Bandages have good adhesion to most pipe surfaces, including copper, PVC, polypipe,metal, fibreglass and concrete.

•Rapp-it Bandages are resistant to most chemicals, including harsh solvents such as MEK, hydrochloric acid and gasoline.

Rapp-it Steel Putty Application Hints and Tips

•When applying to damp, wet or slowly leaking areas work the mixed epoxy putty forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect.

•Curing: Steel Putty has a 4-7 minute work life. Apply to pipe surface within two minutes of mixing. After 4-7 minutes, the putty hardens and forms a tenacious bond, with full cure in 30 minutes.
