and metals. It is bonded to the substrate using MasterSeal
933, a two component epoxy resin adhesive. Prepare an area of substrate around the joint or crack
allowing at least 25 mm to either side of the bandage to be
applied.

Joints or cracks in concrete, brick or block subject to active

water ingress must be prepared and repaired with
MasterSeal 590.

Damaged concrete should be repaired with MasterEmaco S

420.

Allow time for the repair products to cure before proceeding

to the next stage.

Masking the crack or joint

For cracks or joints of less than 25mm in width apply a 25mm
wide masking tape.
For designed joints of more than 25mm in width masking tape
