How do I use X-Pandotite in freezing temperatures?
The water content in the mixture of X-Pandotite creates a problem in winter’s freezing temperatures. You must protect the material from freezing – the methods mentioned above for hastening set up time would be helpful. What is the “pot life” or workability time of X-Pandotite? Depending on your own personal preference on the water to powder mixing ratio, a batch should be workable for 1 to 2 hours. The material hardens as the water evaporates; therefore, the thinner or more liquid the solution, the longer the working life of the mix. A thinner mix will not alter the expansion or hardening qualities of X-Pandotite, but it will take longer to set up. Do NOT add water to an existing mix – rather, make up a new batch. What is the shelf life of X-Pandotite? If you follow the directions on our containers and KEEP THE COVERS OF THE CONTAINERS CLOSED TIGHTLY and avoid exposing the material to moisture, the material will last indefinitely. Can I use X-Pandotite on unanodized aluminum? Yes, you
