environ Tank Sump Manual • Adhesive Pot Life: After Part "A" has been mixed with Part Cr 6.2.2 Base Mounting "B" the usable application time of the adhesive is called the Place the fiberglass sump base over the top end of the "Pot Life" Pot Life for the mixed adhesive is as follows: containment collar. Use a level to make sure the sump is straight and level. Temperature "Pot Life" 6.2.3 Mixing Adhesive 60°F-70°F 40 to 20 minutes This mounting application requires the use of a special two-part 70°F-80°F 20 to 14 minutes adhesive for bonding of the sump base to the tank's fiberglass containment collar.Only this adhesive can be used for warranty 80°F 90°F 14 to 9 minutes compliance. • Temperature: Before mixing,determine the temperature of the 90*F-100°F 9 to 5 minutes resin, as well as the ambient temperature. These temperatures will determine the rate at which the mixture will setup. • Mixing: Thoroughly mix the fiberglass resin to redissolve any liquid which separated during storage.The gel time of the adhesive is dependent upon the amount of catalyst mixed with the resin as well as 6.2.4 Base/Collar Bonding the temperature of both the mixture and the parts to be bonded. After the adhesive has been properly mixed, prepare to apply Remove the lid from the canister of resin and pour a quantity of the adhesive to the overlap joint from inside the sump base. resin onto a scrap piece of cardboard or plastic (make sure the pool of resin is no more than .25" to.50" high). Obtain the tube NOTE: Liberally apply the adhesive down into the overlap of hardener and remove the cap from the tube. Squeeze a bead groove. Continue to apply adhesive evenly around the entire of catalyst(approximately.25" in diameter)half way around the perimeter of the overlap joint. Make sure the entire overlap dispensed portion of resin. joint is filled completely to avoid any potential leak areas. Scrape the top of the joint clean. Adhesive will fully cure at NOTE: For each can of resin,the entire tube of hardener must ambient temperature of 70•F-100•F in 24 hours. be used. After adding the appropriate amount of hardener to the resin, 6.3 Tank Manway Adapters • immediately mix it thoroughly for a minimum of one minute and until Should the tank sump require mounting to a tank's outward there is a consistency of color.
