• 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 sealing qualities of X-Pando, but it will take longer to set up. Do NOT add water to an existing mix – rather, make up a new batch.
