DO NOT MIX UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO POUR.

PANCRETE MUST BE POURED IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING OR IT WILL HARDEN IN THE CAN

  • Step 1: Drain the pain: use a wet vacuum to remove any water or loose deposits from the surface.
  • Step 2: Wire brush, or mechanically brush surface to remove deposits and loose rust. Vacuum a second time.
  • Step 3: Duct tape any small pinholes on surface, or if larger, cover with a metal sheet.
  • Step 4: Insert 2.5 inch PVC into drain hole and raise hole well above Pancrete level (elbow piece for side drain)
  • Step 5: Check the ambient temperature and the temperature of the surface to which Pancrete is to be applied. They both must be greater than 70 F
  • Step 6: Mix (Part A) and (Part B) together by first pouring back and forth twenty times.
  • Step 7: Pour Pancrete on pan surface.
  • Step 8: Wait 4-6 hours before returning unit to service. Do not walk on for 24 to 48 hours or until Pancrete is thoroughly hardened.
  • Step 9: Before putting unit back into service, hacksaw excess PVC that was inserted in step (4.) File down smooth if needed
