With a hammer drill or chipping gun, if it is possible, <br />without damaging the rebar, deepen the slot an addi- <br />tional 1 inch (25 mm) at the point of greatest water flow. <br />b. Place a stiff section of hose or pipe into the cavity and <br />secure in place with Patch’n Plug to force water through <br />the hose. Stop the water flow in the remainder of the slot <br />per the directions above (i.e. form plug with gloved hand <br />and press plug firmly into the cavity until it is hard.) This <br />relieves the pressure so that the area can be patched. <br />Allow a minimum of 24 hours for hardening. <br />c. Remove bleeder hose and plug remaining hole. If <br />necessary, reduce water flow by inserting steel wool or <br />wooden plug in the remaining hole before patching. <br />Patching Instructions <br />1. SURFACE PREPARATION Chip out faulty concrete <br />until sound substrate is reached. Remove all loose mate- <br />rials from area and saturate with clean water. Allow water <br />to be absorbed into the concrete, then remove excess <br />water. <br />2. MIXING For fast repairs to concrete or masonry, add <br />water to Patch’n Plug powder (1 part water to 3 - 3.5 <br />parts powder by volume). Mix to a workable mortar con- <br />sistency and trowel on as required. For large repairs, we <br />recommend utilizing Xypex Megamix II. Alternatively, <br />mix 2 parts Patch’n Plug powder with 1 part mason sand <br />or small aggregate (3/8 in. or 10 mm minus crushed <br />stone); utilize a similar water / powder ratio as above to <br />create a workable mortar. <br />Abnormal Temperatures <br />During above normal ambient temperatures, mixing wa- <br />ter should not exceed 90ºF (32ºC) and Xypex Patch’n <br />Plug material should not exceed 70ºF (21ºC). Below <br />normal ambient temperatures will retard the setting time <br />of Patch’n Plug. In this situation, Xypex materials should <br />be stored at normal temperatures (see Storage). Tem- <br />perature of mixing water can be moderated to either <br />increase or decrease the set time. Do not use Patch’n <br />Plug where the substrate’s temperature is below 40ºF <br />(4ºC).
