5 Do not useover paint films, unsound plaster or unsound exposure to freezing temperatures may cause thepart B to solidify. In this case, heating to 50 C for one to twohours will reliquefy the product, which then must be cooled tobelow 25 C before PreparationVigorously wire brush or grind all surfaces to remove alllaitance, dust, dirt, oils, grease, rust, and any paint, plaster,and loose material. Thoroughly clear holes drilled for boltsand starter rods by air blasting, after drilling, with oil free steel rods and bolts with Fosroc TCN Thinner/Cleaner. Galvanised steel surfaces must be passivated with asuitable passivating solution before applying Expocrete covering exposed reinforcing steel, remove all rust andapply a zinc rich primer such as Fosroc Nitoprime S will tolerate surface dampness, but maximumadhesion usually requires dry A and Part B are packed in the correct MIX WHOLE UNITS.
