Before starting, make sure your work area is protected
from accidental spills. Surfaces must be clean, dry
and free of grease, oil, and excess debris.

Also, for a smooth surface, hand rub with water or a
damp cloth before the epoxy hardens.

On wet or damp surfaces, work material into area
forcefully and hold in place until adhesion begins. Do
not hold in place with hands, as heat is given off
during cure.
