PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Prime-A-Trate is a two component epoxy-based wetting agent designed
specifically to enhance the bonding strength of Flex-Tec HV,
Flexible Repair Compound. The ultra-Iow viscosity properties make
Prime-A-Trate the ideal material for creating a high-performance
bond to the open cell structure of hard and soft woods or other
porous materials.
|
|
|
BASIC USES
Prime-A-Trate can be used on both vertical and horizontal wood
surfaces, Common applications are on exterior column bases, window
sills and sashes, and architectural wood ornaments. It is also
suitable for various manufacturing uses, to enhance the bonding
strength in the repair of natural wood imperfections such as knots
or checks, and the sealing of end-grain. The use of Prime-A-Trate is
not necessary for bonding or filing metal, fiberglass or non-porous
synthetic materials.
