I. Lay out fiberglass materials at each seam to be bonded. (2 x 1.5oz.FRP matt for collar attachment. 2 x 1.5 oz. and 1 x 18 oz. woven roving material for direct attachment.) 2. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING FIBERGLASS BONDING MATERIALS. 3. Mix 314 full, 5qt. large bucket of putty and" full 5qt. large bucket of resin at a time,for ease of handling. Hardener ratio at 70 degrees F. &30%humidity is two(2) ounces per gallon for resin and one(1)ounce for putty. This will vary with temperature and direct sunlight. If used in direct sunlight or in temperatures above 80 degrees, reduce hardener as per instructions from supervisor or Western Fiberglass, Inc. personnel. Mix thoroughly, scraping the sides of the buckets with the stir stick. 4. Use squeegee or brush, and apply putty liberally to area of first seam,being sure to completely cover all fasteners and fill all gaps. The putty will provide a smooth transition for the fiberglass material to cover. The fiberglass material does not like to make 90 degree turns, this is why we use the putty to create a smooth surface with no sharp turns for the fiberglass. Lay first piece of fiberglass material across seam area evenly. 5. Wet-out or soak,with brush, liquid resin over fiberglass cloth material completely, material will go clear when fully saturated. Use pig bristle roller tool to"roll-out" air bubbles gently, so as not to displace putty. Remove all bubbles. Apply additional layers of material in same manner. Your laminate should appear clear,with no air bubbles or pockets in view and all fasteners covered. If additional resin is required,use only resin from Western Fiberglass,Inc. The resin used in construction of all Western Fiberglass, Inc. components is corrosion resistant resin,made for use in fuel and chemical applications. TEST PROCEDURES After the sump to tank fitting is completed,you shall test the integrity of your seal. This is important to insure that the sump riser tube/tank bond will not allow any contained fluid to leak. Check with local regulations for required testing procedures. A common test procedure is to fill the sump with water after the sump/tank bond has completely cured, usually overnight,and observe bond seam for any leaks. NOTE: U.L. Listed sumps require a listed,approved,electronic monitor/alarm system to be installed for operator notification in the event of product leakage within sump area, THESE SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE ONLY BY WESTERN FIBERGLASS,INC.
