Product Information

Sponge Machines & Ancillaries We supply a range of indoor & outdoor sponge machines from Refina & Berta which are suitable for cleaning epoxy & cement grouts such as UltraScape Flowpoint from quarry tiles, external paving slabs, natural stone and granite setts. Our range of sponge machines protects the joints between paving slabs by avoiding washing away the cement, whilst the machine removes the need for individuals to wash away grout on their hands and knees. Both the bedding and sub-base must be permeable. When using a mortar bedding mix, this should be no stronger than 6:1 (sharp sand: cement). Be careful when using add-mixtures such as SBR or PVA as these can seriously affect the permeability of a mortar mix. You can now use sandpaper to do the final touches and leave the best finish. If you consider the color doesn’t match with the rest, consider painting over it. Frequently Asked Questions Q1. What Is a Porcelain Repair Kit?

Allow filler epoxy to cure for 12 hours or more at a temperature of 75°F or warmer. Alternatively, place the filled object in a kiln heated to 110°F for eight hours. Placing the object under a lamp is another good option to optimize hardness for area. Let the clay dry in place. Once dried, carefully remove it and fire it to bisque temperature. Verify that the fired pieces fit (it will be smaller due to shrinkage) the ceramic object, then adhere them with 2-part epoxy, and let it fully cure. Sand. If you’ve made any mistakes and the dried putty isn’t completely flush with the rest of the sink, use a fine sandpaper to sand it down until you’re satisfied.

However EASYJoint will eventually set and the weather conditions will not have impaired its integrity in any way.If you’re fixing a bathtub, the last thing you need is a formula that doesn’t withstand water. Corrosion is a regular issue that these repair kits must endure, and you should never consider a low-quality product that will get ruined as soon as some water drops fall over it. selected areas. Clean the entire piece with alcohol to prepare the surface for painting and cold glazing to hide the repair lines. Sealing is particularly recommended for porous paving slabs and setts prior to laying and jointing with EASYJoint, to reduce the risk of staining or efflorescence. If sealer is applied after the patio has been laid, do not apply any type of sealer over the joint for at least a month after it has set hard. Only use a breathable sealer, otherwise EASY Joint may or may not remain permeable, and you may seal in any natural efflorescence passing through the stone. These natural salts will disperse over time. Can you apply EASYJoint in freezing conditions?

Numbering the pieces after a dry run is a good idea and will Yes, theoretically EASYJoint can be used below 3 degrees down to freezing conditions, however in these conditions, the use of lots of water becomes more difficult with a greater risk of staining. Where possible avoid using below 3 degrees, use with caution. Does EASYJoint stain paving slabs? It is almost impossible to find a repair kit capable of leaving a finish that matches with the rest of the surface. In those cases, it is worth noting that most of these brands offer a solution by mixing their formulas. Such is the case of Sheffield Bronze.
