DRY FIX® is a primer coat of epoxy resin which is absorbed into the substrate creating a permanent bond between the substrate and DRY FLEX® repair. It is not a wood hardener and it’s important to remove all decaying wood and wood rot before applying DRY FIX®.
This should be avoided as these fillers have a limited life and can lift the paint prematurely. For best results use DRY FLEX® SF, a spot repair product formulated to bond to existing DRY FLEX and substrates.
We do not recommend you use any product after its expiration date.
The DRY FLEX® system has been used extensively on many historic buildings. Please ask your local conservation officer to contact us if there are any queries.
Yes, as long as the air and surface temperatures are above 32°F. At temperatures starting from 32°F, DRY FLEX® 4 can be used. At lower temperatures, please ensure that no condensation forms on the surface to be repaired.
For repairs we use the rule; If a paste repair is larger than a fist, laminating is a cheaper solution. If the damage extends beyond the glass line, a partial replacement must be carried out. Depending on the paste used and/or application, repairs can be made up to 50 mm in depth (DRY FLEX® 16, […]
DRY FLEX® and BIO FLEX™ products are paintable with all paint systems (A-brands)
To ignite wood, a temperature of >270°C is required. The temperature of curing DRY FLEX® will not reach this temperature. However, care should be taken to ensure that the curing epoxy does not exceed its maximum permissible temperature, as this will cause the epoxy to “break” itself and the elastic characteristics will be partially destroyed. […]
Yes, the pastes can be coloured very well. For this purpose, use small quantities of oil based pigment
DRY FLEX® SF adheres well to paint, but the question then is: How firmly is the paint on the wood? The paint is the weakest link here. We always recommend applying our products to a bare substrate.
