Weld-Crete® is applied as a liquid and as it dries to a thin, flexible film, it forms a tenacious bond to the structural surface. The dry film is reactivated by the moisture and chemical reaction that occurs as the new concrete cures. Full bonding strength is achieved after the new concrete has completely cured.

Weld-Crete®, the original chemical bonding agent for concrete, is a safe, easy to use surface applied bonding agent that bonds new concrete to any clean, structurally sound surface. It has been specified and used by major architects, engineers and construction companies throughout the world since 1952.

Only the base coat is bonded to Weld-Crete®. The base coat should be a minimum of 3/8". The base coat must be allowed to dry 24 hours before the finish coat is applied to prevent flooding of the bond line.

Weld-Crete® can be applied by brush, roller, or spray. Do not dilute. When using spray equipment, the nozzle should permit a fog-type spray. Weld-Crete® should be applied in a thin, continuous, film. Do not permit Weld-Crete® to puddle in low areas.

Yes. Weld-Crete® becomes thicker in colder weather and coverage is reduced. Spraying becomes extremely difficult in cold weather. Do not apply in freezing weather. Do not apply over frozen surfaces.

Weld-Crete® may be applied to any clean, structurally sound surface. Weld-Crete® may be applied over painted surfaces provided the paint is clean and well secured to the substrate.

The surface must be clean and structurally sound. Dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax, loose paint, efflorescence, rust, mildew, and other foreign material must be completely removed. Weld-Crete® may be painted over painted surfaces provided the paint is still well secured to the substrate.

No. Weld-Crete® is freeze thaw stable; however, it is preferable to prevent freezing. Allow frozen Weld-Crete® to thaw at room temperature.

New concrete can be applied over Weld-Crete® when it is dry to the touch, usually within one hour, up to ten days later, provided that the Weld-Crete® film is kept clean.

It's a coordinated action where the operator is guiding and propelling the engraver and in turn the engraver and the tracking system are guiding the operator. The pattern is cut into the concrete with a unique diamond saw blade mounted in the engraving machine.

Once the new concrete is fully cured, Weld-Crete® is unaffected by humidity or condensation. It is not intended for use as a water barrier. It is not recommended for use where hydrostatic pressure is present.

Wet Weld-Crete® is easily removed with hot water. Dried Weld-Crete® is much more difficult to remove. Chemical solvents such as acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, or cyclohexanone may be used.

You may purchase your equipment using any of several different methods. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, cash, cashiers check and wire transfer. We happily accept business or personal checks but the bank requires we wait 7 to 10 business days for the check to clear before shipping your equipment. If you are financing through a leasing company, we can ship as soon as they give us the go ahead .

The Engrave-A-Crete? System consists of several combined processes that remodel concrete to produce a pleasing appearance. Briefly, a deep penetrating acrylic or chemical/acid stain is used to transform the color, then a permanent, precise, pattern is engraved (cut) INTO the hard concrete with our patented concrete engravers. The Engrave-A-Crete? Process is NOT a topping or overlayment that could chip off.

When welding in a floor and tunnel, use a rosette weld about 3" to 4" apart. It is not necessary to weld the entire edge of a floor. This will cause severe warpage (too much heat). When welding in a firewall, weld back through the holes you drilled to remove the stock firewall. DO NOT START ON ONE SIDE AND WELD ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE.

If you can rub the flux onto the back while heating the sides, the rod will flow all the way around your parent metal to seal the tube [back to top]

Because of the extreme temperatures of exhaust systems, we do not recommend J-B Weld for use on exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters. Nor do we recommend the product for repairs within the combustion chamber.

The low turbulence and oxygen content along with the clean burning characteristics of the flame is less likely to introduce oxygen/carbon contamination into the weld puddle which causes a hard weld and possible cracking.

with a stick welder, the very hot arc area must be kept shielded from the air. There are two ways to do this with a wire feed welder. You can use a flux cored welding wire - this wire is just like a welding rod except that the flux is inside the wire instead of outside. When the arc is started, the flux burns and forces the air away from the weld. It also forms a slag coating that shields the completed weld.

Zanfel works safely into the dermal layer of your skin, binds to the urushiol oil, and, when rinsed off, takes the oil with it down the drain.
