Vertex 10005 Epoxy Resin System

How-To Guide for Using Vertex 10005 Epoxy Resin System:

Step 1: Surface Preparation

1. Clean the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, oil, and other contaminants. Use a suitable cleaner and allow it to dry completely.
2. Roughen the Surface: For optimal adhesion, lightly sand or roughen the surface to create a mechanical bond for the epoxy.¹

Step 2: Mixing

1. Measure Components: Accurately measure the required amounts of Component A (resin) and Component B (hardener) using the provided measuring cups or scales. The exact mixing ratio is typically 4:1 (Component A to Component B), but always refer to the product label for the specific ratio.
2. Mix Thoroughly: Combine the measured amounts of Component A and Component B in a clean, dry container. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or mixing stick until a uniform, bubble-free mixture is achieved.² Avoid incorporating air bubbles during mixing.

Step 3: Application

1. Apply the Epoxy: Apply the mixed epoxy to the prepared surface using a spatula, brush, or other suitable application tool. Ensure even coverage and fill the fissures or cracks completely.
2. Remove Excess: Remove any excess epoxy with a spatula or scraper before it hardens.
3. Allow to Cure: Allow the epoxy to cure completely according to the specified curing time on the product label. Curing times can vary depending on temperature and humidity.

Step 4: Finishing (Optional)

1. Sanding: Once cured, the epoxy can be sanded to smooth any imperfections or prepare it for further finishing, such as painting or coating.³
