Are these fibers used to prevent cracking of portland cement only after the initial pour or permanently? I want to strengthen hypertufa permanently.

It would be good to do a test with a couple of small pieces of hypertufa, one with and one without. I loosely measure out a couple of tablespoons of fibers from the bag for each 10 pound bag of concrete. Once they're separated, there are a lot of strands. Wear a mask when pulling the fibers apart. They do strengthen the concrete permanently.

I tried using these fibers in my hypertufa and found it did not work well, I thinks you have to pull the fibers apart more and it did not blend well into the mixture, the surface was uneven when it dried, I did not have good luck with this product.

Interesting question, the SS404 is truly a quality fiber-cement tool, but you will have to contact PacTool customer service to see what it's extended design parameters are.

Sure, the two ingredients are only activated when mixed together, so the epoxy won't harden in the tube between uses.

Never. I have used three bottles and a few times I have grasped a solidified hunk at the tip, gave it a twist andoff it comes an the bottle is as good as new. It is the only CA I buy now. It takes quite a bit longer to set up than the Krazy/Super glue. Getting the accelerator is a must. I always hated CA's but I use this all the time for kayak building. It has no effect on the cure of epoxy resin applied over it. First rate product.

That depends on the state you live in and its plumbing code. While the cement will work fine without it, there are states which require the use of a cleaner/primer before using the cement for new installations. Check your local code to be sure first. Better to be safe than sorry when it comes to inspections and possibly having to redo everything before being able to sell or rent your property.

Lyle, Im building a new home, I used a concrete form wall called superior walls as my foundation. Before I had the foundation backfilled, I coated the entire outside wall with the product. I used it as a sealant for my basement. I have heard nothing but good things and trusted it on my own home. I am a builder and would recommend this to my customers. Bobby

I really have no idea - best suggestion is to get some, and use it, and test the flammability. Dharma Trading sells an anti-flame product specifically for fibers. You might contact them and ask your question.

Those would cure too damn fast, you wouldn't have time to work with it. I'd stick with 2 ton epoxy, or something that doesn't set in 5 min. Mix your amount of epoxy, then add the powder until it has the consistensy of play doe. You'll have enough time to do what you want...

hiit will stop hydrostatic wwater pressure from entering a basement type situation.it has to be applied directly to the concrete as it will not penetrate through adhesive tile.regardsmike423-503-4490

The marks that are left I feel is directly related to your water and what's in it. I only grow on plastic, so I have not seen the impact on concrete. After my grows, there is always stuff left over under. It is usually salts and calcium. It also leaks no soil at all. Its a very tight weave.

The product is not a "coating", it reacts with free lime (left unreacted) in your concrete, during the curing process. S2000 is sprayed on until it stops absorbing (don't let it puddle for very long, wipe it off per the instructions). My experience in densifying concrete with this product yielded strong results when I applied it per the instructions. I accidentally diluted it too little and it was harder to work with. Diluting it less (per your question) may just make the process take longer). Nice product, depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

These are fibers that you add to a cement type mix to add strength. Like adding steel to the cement in a house foundation.

This is a great material and would work as a shelf liner with one caveat. I would only use it if you were to permanently glue it down as it is brittle and will crumble if it is not.

I made this question to them by email:I ordered a bag of pure alpiste, just wondering if the alpiste is free Silica Fiber or not?They Answer:silica fiber is a gimmick, if it was true and had scientific data to back its claim me along with the company that sells it would be out of business.

I mostly use this as dry additive to my kitchen compost so I do not soak it first and don't know what happens if you do that. It remains pretty fibrous for the most part. A local nursery uses it in their organic soil to add fiber.

This is a terrific cement and the metal spout makes it easy use in tight corners. Generally it would be best to remove the paint if possible, otherwise it should take, even to the painted surface but not as strongly as an unpainted one. These cements usually weld (sort of melt) two plastic surfaces together. I recommend you try it out first on an experimental piece with likewise painted surface first.
