Timber Repair Method for beam ends
1. Cut out all rotted, loose or flaking material and vacuum to remove dust. Abrade or grind as necessary to provide clean, stable surfaces free of all contaminants.
2. Mix the two liquid components first (2.5/7.5 Litre packs), add the powder slowly (wear a dust mask) and then mix the three Structural Epoxy Pouring Resin components thoroughly using a mixing paddle in an electric drill.
3. Ensure that the temperature is above 5 degrees Centigrade, or pre-warm the materials, otherwise curing may be delayed or prevented. Cure time: 24 hours initial at 20C, 7 days full. Working pot life: 45 minutes at 20 degrees C. Minimum de-propping time 48 hours, subject to ambient temperature.
4. For injection, dispense the Structural Epoxy Pouring Resin into a 1 litre cartridge or use Thixotropic Epoxy Injection and Laminating Resin.
