3 USING THE ELCOMETER 165
b
1 If using a heater pouch , insert 50ml Cartridge and hold the heater
“e” button for 3 seconds to switch on. The Elcometer 165 Heater
Pouch thermal controls are set to 50°C (122°F) - check your
coating specification accordingly.
3 Attach an abrasion ring & abrade using the
Elcometer 165 abrasion tool.
4 Remove abrasion ring and wipe clean using
the wipes provided.
6 Connect a nozzle to the cartridge and purge
both of excess air ensuring effective coating
mix.
7 Insert the nozzle into the centre of the
ElcoPatch™. Slowly inject the coating
using the manual coating dispenser until
the coating flows out of the four coating
overflow holes, ensuring there is no trapped
air inside the ElcoPatch™. Wipe away any
excess then move on to next repair site
allowing the coating to cure.
4 Different coatings will need different curing times
and environmental considerations please consult
your coating supplier for further details.
4 Recycle or dispose of the ElcoPatch™ in an
environmentally sensitive manner. Please
consult your local Environmental Authority for
further guidance.
4 The abrasion tool comes with replaceable hook
and loop abrasive pads. When the abrasive pad
wears out, replace it with a new one.
5 Attach an ElcoPatch™ by removing the
adhesive backing and sticking firmly to the
surface. Ensure the area abraded lines up
with the centre of the ElcoPatch™.
2 Identify the defect using a holiday detector
and mark up the area to be repaired.
8 Once the coating is fully cured according to
the manufacturer’s recommendations, use
the pull ring to remove the ElcoPatch™
from the substrate.
