Question 1

I have 2 cracks in the basement each crack about 7 foot long dose one kit enough to fill both?

Accepted Answer

I think you will need 2.  1 package should be a enough to do 1 10-foot long crack, but it depends on overall width.

Question 2

Is this epoxy can be inject with standard caulk gun? 121 at Emecole website with two tubes together to inject with special caulk gun, why?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

The Emecole Metro 121 Premium Fast Cure Epoxy included inside this 10 ft. Kit is packaged in single tube universal cartridges (8 oz cartridge), which can be injected using just a standard caulk gun. No special advanced caulking gun is necessary for injecting single tube universal cartridges.

The same epoxy material in our 30 ft. Kit is packaged in dual cartridge tube sets. The tube sets are a larger size (22 oz. total), and will not fit a standard caulk gun. That is why the dual cartridge manual dispensing gun is required for injecting dual cartridge packaged epoxy.

The 10 ft. Kit with the universal cartridges is ideal for anyone new to the concrete crack injection process. The 30 ft. Kit with the dual dispensing gun is more likely to be used by anyone who is regularly repairing concrete cracks (i.e. a basement waterproofing contractor, a handyman, etc.). The dual cartridge dispensing gun makes the dispensing of material a bit easier when doing it on a regular basis.

For a simple one-time repair, any one would be perfectly fine using just the 10 ft. Kit.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to give us a ring at 815-372-2493. One of our technical support specialists would be happy to provide a more thorough explanation.

Best,

Question 3

Will this work on a wet crack?

Accepted Answer

It is preferable that the crack is dry at the time of the repair so that the included Surface Seal in this kit can properly adhere to the crack's surface while also bonding the included surface ports over the crack. If the repair can only be completed at a time when the crack is actively leaking water, a workaround would be the use of a hair dryer. If the surface of the concrete can stay dry for approximately two hours, then the surface seal should cure without problem, allowing for injection of the Emecole 102 Polyurethane afterwards. Our Emecole customer service team is available to further discuss, along with any other additional questions or clarifications at 800-844-2713 (regular business hours are Mon-Fri, 6:30am to 5pm CST).

Question 4

Once surface seal part A and B  plus surface ports are applied and epoxy has been applied, will the material and ports scrape off the surface easily?

Accepted Answer

The  surface seal must be ground off the wall. It does NOT remove easily. The  seal-and-peel will remove easily. Wait ours after injection to remove from wall https://www.amazon.com/Basement-Removable-Surface-Seal-n-Peel-Homeowners/dp/B009M51P9Y/ref=sr_1_7?crid=35NAYMOCHGADN&keywords=emecole&qid=1670423334&sprefix=emecole%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-7
