Application Tips & Hints
  • Always wear protective gloves when handling this product
  • When wrapping the gauze, pull each layer tightly and firmly.
  • For best results, smooth and rub the surface to achieve good contact between the gauze layers
  • Don’t open the foil bag until you're ready to use the gauze
  • Clean thoroughly the areas where the gauze will be applied.
  • For better adhesion, give the damaged area a light key with sandpaper where the gauze is being applied.

 

Instructions


Wearing gloves, Open the silver foil bag and immerse the roll of black gauze in fresh water for 4-6 seconds to activate the resin. Ensure the excess water from the gauze is squeezed out, and the entire roll must be used once the pack is opened.

Apply the gauze around the damaged area, extending up to 50mm on either side of the cable to ensure complete coverage. The gauze must be applied quickly, as curing starts once removed from the water.

While wrapping the gauze, pull each layer tightly and firmly using your hands to mould and squeeze the layers together in a tightening motion. Continue to smooth the surface until the gauze has fully set.
