Application Situation

Steel mounting plates.

Application Method

Previous material was removed, the surface of the plates were ground clean, and then roughened as well as the sides. The four sides of the plate were also chamfered to produce an additional mechanical bond once the Belzona 1111 had cured. The steel surface of the water tower was also ground to remove the previous material and then prepared with the MBX Bristle Blaster. Belzona 1111 was then mixed, and applied and the plate was remounted in it's original position.
