SAKRETE Plug-tite

1 KG (2.2 lb) yields approximately 556 cm³ (34 in³).

Concrete must be fully cured (approximately 28 days) and dry before painting. Refer to paint manufacturer directions for application instructions.

No special curing is required.

Active leaks (flowing water through a surface break) or inactive leaks: After mixing material into a pliable solid ball, pick up the material with a gloved hand - it should now be warm to the touch. Force SAKRETE plug-tite into the dampened prepared opening using a putty knife, trowel or with the palm of the rubber-gloved hand. Hold in place 3-5 minutes, assuring a complete set and sufficient bond. This should be sufficient time to stop active leaks. Immediately following, smooth and trim the patched area flush to the surrounding surface.

In a disposable plastic pail, place approximately 1 part potable water followed by 2.5 parts SAKRETE plug-tite or 300 mL (10 oz) per 1 KG. Mix quickly and thoroughly. Once pliable, form into a ball. This is an approximate ratio. Therefore it is recommended that you add sufficient water which will form a pliable solid ball. Due to limited working time of 3-5 minutes, mix only enough material for immediate use. Water temperature will affect set time - Cold temperatures will retard the setting time and hot temperatures will accelerate the setting time. SAKRETE plug-tite cannot be reworked after it has set.

All surfaces to be in contact with SAKRETE plug-tite must be free from dust, oil, grease, or any other foreign substances that may interfere with the bond of the material. Cracks should be saw-cut or chiselled out in the shape of a “U,” deeper than wider. For instance, 19 mm (3/4 in) long x 12 mm (1/2 in) wide. Dampen inactive leaks to be repaired with potable water, leaving the concrete saturated but free of standing water.

Mix and substrate temperatures should be maintained between +5 °C and +30 °C (40 °F and 86 °F) for at least 24 hours prior to and 48 hours after. Cold temperatures will retard the setting time and hot temperatures will accelerate the setting time.
