Introducció

The Savio BF500 Black Foam Cartridge is designed for sealing and filling gaps in pond and water feature applications. This black-colored foam blends naturally with rocks and liners, providing a waterproof seal. It is suitable for securing rocks, diverting water flow, and sealing cracks or crevices in aquatic environments. This product requires a gun foam applicator, which is sold separately.

Configuració

  1. Prepara la superfície: Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris, oil, or grease. Lightly misting the surface with water can improve adhesion and aid in curing.
  2. Attach Applicator: Screw the Savio BF500 cartridge firmly onto a compatible gun foam applicator (sold separately). Ensure a tight seal to prevent leakage.
  3. Agitar bé: Shake the cartridge vigorously for at least 30 seconds before use to ensure proper mixing of contents. Repeat shaking periodically during application.
  4. Test Application: Before applying to the desired area, dispense a small amount of foam onto a scrap surface to ensure proper flow and expansion.

Instruccions de funcionament

The Savio BF500 Black Foam expands slowly, allowing for controlled application and filling of voids. Its black color helps it blend seamlessly with natural pond environments.

  1. Aplicació: Hold the applicator gun with the cartridge inverted (valve down) during application. Apply foam into gaps, cracks, or around rocks where sealing is required. Fill voids approximately 30-50% as the foam will expand significantly.
  2. Control del flux: Adjust the trigger on the gun foam applicator to control the flow rate of the foam. Apply in a steady, even bead.
  3. Expansion and Curing: The foam will begin to expand and cure upon contact with moisture in the air and on the surface. Full cure time can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and foam thickness, but typically takes several hours. Avoid disturbing the foam during the curing process.
  4. Trimming (Optional): Once fully cured, excess foam can be carefully trimmed with a utility knife if necessary.
