LIMITATIONS
• Do not apply to surfaces below 40°F (4°C). • Product may discolor if exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not apply to surfaces above 95°F (35°C). • Not recommended for large exterior repairs or thick
• 1 in. (2.5 cm) maximum lift thickness for applications subject to large thermal change.
PLANNING

vertical and overhead repairs. • Not for use as a structural anchoring adhesive.
• Material is a vapor barrier after cure. Concrete surface • Do not exceed one part by volume FX-702
must not exhibit an active moisture vapor drive. Oven-Dried Rounded Silica Filler for mortar mixes.
• Adhesion and product compatibility testing must be
performed prior to over‑coating existing coatings.

Please note: This product has not been evaluated for resisting long-term sustained loads in anchor
applications. Refer to the current Anchoring and Fastening Systems for Concrete and Masonry catalog
or strongtie.com for code-listed structural anchoring adhesives.

SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces must be sound, clean and free of all contaminants that could impair product adhesion or performance.
Metal Surfaces: Prepare surface by abrasive blasting or other means per SSPC-SP6/NACE 3 Commercial Blast
Cleaning with a 2–3 mil surface profile.
Concrete: Concrete should be a minimum of 28 days old and fully cured prior to coating application. Prepare surface by
abrasive blasting or other mechanical means per SSPC-SP13/NACE, ICRI Guideline 310.2R CSP3-5.
For Mortar Repair Applications: Prepare the repair area in accordance with ICRI Guideline No. 310.1R, taking care to
avoid micro-cracking. Prime exposed reinforcing steel with FX-406 Zinc-Rich Primer.
Wood: Remove all surface contaminants and mechanically abrade substrate to achieve the equivalent of a 100 grit
PREPARATION

sandpaper profile.
Previously Coated Surfaces: Remove all surface contaminants and mechanically abrade substrate to achieve a clean
and sound surface per SSPC-SP3 Power Tool Cleaning. Remove any remaining dust or surface contaminants by solvent
wiping with clean cotton cloths. Allow all solvents to completely dry prior to application.

MIXING
For optimal product performance, condition individual components to 70°F (21°C) and mix thoroughly prior to use.
Do not prepare more material than can be used within the pot life of the product. For neat resin: Proportion components
at a 2A:1B ratio by volume in a clean pail or use calibrated mixing equipment. Mix thoroughly with a low-speed
(300–600 rpm) drill and mixing paddle for 2–3 minutes, scraping unmixed material from sides and bottom of mixing
container as needed to achieve a uniform consistency. Avoid entrapping air into mixture.
For grout or patching mortar: mix neat resin as stated above, then add up to 1 part FX-702 Oven-Dried Rounded
Silica Filler by volume, slowly to avoid clumping, while continuing to mix for approximately 2–3 minutes or until a uniform
consistency is achieved, scraping the pail as needed. Do not thin FX‑763 Trowel-Grade Epoxy.

APPLICATION
General Concrete Repair/Adhesive: Apply properly mixed FX‑763 Trowel-Grade Epoxy to the prepared substrates with
EXECUTION

a putty knife.
For repair mortar: Trowel mixed material into repair area. Screed and finish with a steel trowel.
Crack Injection Paste-Over/Port Adhesive: Apply properly mixed FX‑763 Trowel-Grade Epoxy to the surface of
injection ports and adhere the ports to concrete surface. After ports have set, seal the entire crack by applying FX‑763
Trowel-Grade Epoxy with a putty knife at a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. (0.47 cm) and 1 in. (2.5 cm) wide over the crack.
Cover all ports with a minimum thickness of 1/4 in. (0.6 cm) and extend 1 in. (2.5 cm) beyond the base of the port. If
possible, seal the backside of the crack. Allow FX‑763 Trowel-Grade Epoxy to fully cure before injecting.

lay individual on their side, keeping head below hips to prevent aspiration of material into lungs.
Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. If patient continues to experience difficulty breathing, seek medical advice.

CLEAN-UP
Spills: Construct a dike to prevent spreading. Soak up with absorbent material such as clay, sand or other non-
reactive material. Place in leak-proof containers. Keep out of sewers, storm drains, surface waters, and soils.
Surface Clean: Clean spills and drips from surfaces with solvent (MEK, acetone, etc.). Cured material can only be
removed by mechanical means.
Tools and Equipment: Clean all tools and equipment with solvent (MEK, acetone, etc.). Cured material can only be
removed by mechanical means.
Skin: Use a non-toxic pumice-based soap, citrus-based hand cleaner, or waterless hand cleaner towel. Never use
solvents to remove product from skin.
