Quickset WATERCRETE is an all purpose patching and bonding compound which is very effective where the presence of water makes repairing and sealing difficult. It will repair leaks in pools, tanks and bonds earth ware pipes and tiles, without the need to drain the water. It is ideal for repairs in wet or dry situations where delays are inconvenient as it can be walked on, or driven over in 30 minutes. Quickset WATERCRETE is a fast setting, high compressive strength compound that shows its initial set in 4-6 minutes, even underwater. It reaches maximum compressive strength in 24 hours and bonds to CLEAN CONCRETE, MASONRY, STONE, TIMBER and STEEL. Contains no calcium chloride. It is suitable for use with drinking water.

FIBREGLASS ? STEEL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Remove all loose material from the area to be treated to ensure a solid bond. Slowly add one part of water to 4 parts Quickset WATERCRETE and mix for 1 to 2 minutes to the CONSISTENCY OF PUTTY. Add more product if mix is too wet as wet mix seriously reduces effectiveness. Avoid contact with skin. Press the mix firmly into the prepared area. The product can be moulded to shape. When filling a hole against running water, hold the mixed product in position with a trowel or piece of timber until it cures. The product hardens rapidly after 4 minutes. If sealing a leak underwater, increase the size of the hole on the surface to create a taper. Before applying Quickset WATERCRETE to dry work, generously soak the location with water. Damp conditions assist curing. For repairs less than 1.5cms thick in a dry situation, it is best kept damp for 24 hours.
