  • 266P Hot Melt Patch Compound 226P

    General Application Steps

    1. Roughen the surface of the parent FBE coating using 80-mesh to 120-mesh sandpaper. Clean the surface and wipe away the sanding residue with a non-contaminating cloth. 
    2. Preheat the parent-coating surface using a noncontaminating heat source, such as portable hand-held butane torch. Heat should be applied in a manner that avoids burning or charring of the epoxy coating. Slight browning of the parent coating is acceptable, but charring or blistering is not. Avoid heat application directly to the patchstick while prewarming the coating surface. 
    3. While continuing to heat the FBE surface, occasionally draw the patchstick across the repair area until it leaves a residue. Then rub the stick in a circular motion and utilize the torch to help melt it and maintain the pipecoating temperature. Continue until the patch is smooth and has a thickness of at least 15 mils (380 microns) greater than the parent coating.
    4. Allow the patch to cool before handling.
