What does curing time depend on?
The curing of DRY FLEX® and BIO FLEX™ is, due to its character (chemical curing), dependent on mass and (environmental) temperature. A larger layer thickness (more mass) or a higher temperature means a faster curing. A smaller layer thickness (less mass) or a lower temperature means a slower curing.
Why do we recommend a white plastic mixing tray?
No epoxy can bond to our plastic mixing tray. The white color also makes it easier to check our mixing color control system.
Can I also fill with DRY FLEX® 1-4-16?
No. The minimum layer thickness for these pastes is 3/16” (or 5 mm). For filling, use DRY FLEX® SF.
Is it harmful if the repair gets wet during curing?
Yes. The surface of the resin will react with moisture from the air, will not fully harden and must be removed.
Why should I use a primer (DRY FIX®)?
When using repair resin, a good adhesion must be created between resin and wood, because the resin is too firm to penetrate the substrate properly. In order to make a solid connection with the wooden substrate, a (liquid) epoxy adhesive primer is applied first, which will form a connection with the epoxy resin to be […]
Is it recommended to repair rotating parts?
Rotating parts such as windows and doors do not necessarily have to be replaced when damaged. As long as the damage is non-constructive (i.e. not at the joints), they can be repaired perfectly.
What is a pure epoxy?
This is an epoxy without fillers. The addition of (cheap) fillers – such as glass beads or chalk – results in the presence of unbound components after curing. The loss of elasticity due to the use of fillers makes a repair vulnerable to cracking and detachment.
Can DRY FLEX® SF be used without milling?
Yes, DRY FLEX® SF is a filler and can be used for natural cracks and small defects (< 6mm) in new and unpainted wood. Any raised wood fibres on the contact surface can be removed by sanding.
Are the products guaranteed?
Yes, our products are guaranteed for 10 years, subject to conditions.
How long do repairs last?
With the correct preparation and application, DRY FLEX® repairs will last for the lifetime of the substrate. The repairs will also significantly extend redecoration cycles.
