5. Break off the appropriate size piece of putty and place over the leak. D
6. Cut the fiberglass cloth to fit within the sanded area.
7. The resin must be mixed and applied in less than 8 minutes as the resin will begin to harden. Mix the resin as follows: Burst the seam that separates the two materials by applying pressure to one side. Knead the contents of the pouch back and forth until the mixture is of uniform color (mix for 2 minutes maximum).
8. Cut off the top of the pouch and dispense some of the resin mixture onto the damaged area.
9. Spread the resin mixture in a uniform layer with the supplied brush onto the area to be covered by the fiberglass. (Note: The material will become warm to touch.) E

fiberglass. Smooth the repaired area with the brush.
