WARNINGS OR CAUTIONS
• Pro poxy 20 is not recommended for use on polyethylene,

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For best results, surfaces should be cleaned of grease and
dirt. Smooth surfaces should be roughened by filing or
sanding before application.
Pro poxy 20 will start to cure
(harden) after 10 minutes in its mixed state. For best results,
try to have repair in place before hardening starts.
1) Remove protective end dots and cut or twist off a section of
Pro poxy 20.
TM
Pro poxy 20 meets NSF Standard 61 for health effects and is
safe for use with potable water.
Pro poxy 20 can be used to seal, mend, bond, and repair
almost anything in plumbing, heating, industrial, mainte-
nance, and home applications except areas of combustion
and exhaust where temperatures typically exceed 300° F.
2) Roll and knead putty between hands, until streaks disappear
and color is uniform gray.
3) Apply to clean surface. Forcibly
work the product into any cracks or holes to be filled. To have a
very smooth surface, gently rub
Pro poxy 20 with a wet finger
or damp cloth immediately after application. Shape and remove
excess material before product hardens. Putty will be steel hard
in 20 minutes at room temperatures. Curing time is faster in
warmer conditions and slower at cold temperatures. To extend
the life of
Pro poxy 20, recover ends of stick with protective
dots and store in original package with cap tightly affixed. If
protective dots are missing or damaged, use aluminum foil or
plastic kitchen wrap.
For underwater applications, wrap sealed connection with
waterproof tape. Wait 12 hours before removing tape. Do not
use in fish tanks as product may be toxic to fish.
Pro poxy 20 may be painted immediately after application. Wait
one hour before using water-based paint. If it is necessary to
drill, file, tap, sand, or machine
Pro poxy 20, be sure product
has fully hardened for best results.
