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 can, but be aware that the X-Pandotite material will cause the aluminum to discolor. If this is not an issue in your application, the product will perform as usual. Is X-Pandotite non-toxic? YES!!! X-Pandotite does not contain any lead, asbestos, teflon, or harmful carcinogens.
