MIXING:

Material temperature should be a minimum of 60°F for ease of mixing. Mix white "A" Component & charcoal "B" Component together, by hand, while wearing gloves dampened with water, until a uniform medium gray color is achieved. Do not mix more material than can be used within potlife.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Remove all deteriorated material, barnacles or other marine growth by mechanical abrasion, water or sand blasting. To avoid contamination, apply FX-764 to prepared surface as quickly as possible.

APPLICATION:

For best results, apply FX-764 by hand using tight-fitting rubber or plastic gloves. (Wet gloves with slightly soapy water before working with material.) Press material onto surface and knead into place in maximum lift thickness of approximately 2". Smooth gently by rubbing with gloves using water as a lubricant.

LIMITATIONS:

Do not thin FX-764. Since water conditions and content vary greatly, it is recommended that a sample application be made to ensure the intended performance. Do not apply when water or ambient temperature is below 50°F.

COVERAGE:

One (1) gallon of FX-764 will yield 231 cu. in. and cover 12.8 sq. ft. @ 125 mil thickness, or 1/8".

PACKAGING:

This product is packaged in four (4) gallon and ten (10) gallon units.

SHELF LIFE:

Two (2) years for Components "A" and "B". Store indoors.

CAUTION:
