Belzona Facts
The edges of the scores were squared off and deepened with a side grinder. Belzona® 1111 (Super Metal) was then applied to the prepared surface and dressed down with a file and emery cloth. The application has been in service for over 10 years. As long as the packing and seal area is maintained, the repair should last for a very long time.
