WEICON F is particularly suited for applications on components made of aluminium, aluminium alloys, magnesium and other light metals. WEICON F can be used for inexpensive repairs of all types, for filling in blowholes on light metal castings and for the reconstruction of components. The epoxy resin system can be used in tool construction, model and mould making, and in many other industrial applications.
Application
For processing, we recommend an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°C) at less than 85% relative humidity. The highest adhesive strength is achieved when the parts to be processed are heated to >35°C (>95°F) before application. For a thin pre-coat, work WEICON F intensively into the surface in crosswise layers using the Contour Spatula Flexy or a paint brush to achieve maximum adhesion. By means of this technique, the epoxy resin penetrates well into all cracks and roughness depths. Afterwards, further applications can be carried out straight away, until the desired layer thickness is reached. Make sure that the epoxy resin is applied evenly and without air bubbles. To fill large gaps or holes, fibreglass, expanded metal or other mechanical fixing materials should be used. Finally, the surface can be smoothed easily with the help of a PE film and a rubber roller.
