Application

Recommended Uses:

  • Basement and masonry cracks
  • Floor and wall joints
  • Manholes and sewer pipes
  • Tunnels and swimming pools
  • Below-grade foundations

Surface Preparation:

  • Enlarge cracks to at least 3/4″ width and depth, cut square or undercut; avoid “V” shape cuts.
  • Clean the substrate thoroughly to remove grease, wax, oil, and other contaminants.
  • Saturate the surface with water, ensuring no standing water remains.

Mixing:

  • Mix Super SpecPlug with a small amount of clean water to achieve a putty consistency.
  • Use approximately 20%-21% water by weight; about 9.5 pints of water per 50 lbs of product.
  • Mix only what can be used within 2 minutes.

Application Techniques:

  • For vertical and moving-water applications, maintain firm pressure until final set (about 3 minutes).
  • Adjust water temperature to manage setting times based on ambient temperatures.

Curing:

  • Super SpecPlug continues to gain strength as long as it remains damp.
  • Optimal strength achieved when wet cured for up to 2 days.
