1. Pendahuluan
This manual provides instructions for the safe and effective use of J-B Weld 8277 WaterWeld Adhesive Compound. WaterWeld is a hand-mixable, two-part epoxy putty specifically formulated to cure underwater, making it suitable for repairs on plumbing, fuel tanks, tubs, showers, drains, pools, spas, boats, and potable water tanks. It is NSF certified for contact with potable water.
2. Informasi Keselamatan
Always read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before use.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, to avoid skin contact.
- Gunakan di area yang berventilasi baik.
- Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, flush immediately with water for several minutes and seek medical attention.
- Jauhkan dari jangkauan anak-anak dan hewan peliharaan.

3. Komponen Produk
Each package of J-B Weld WaterWeld contains:
- One (1) stick of two-part epoxy putty (resin and hardener).
4. Persiapan
Proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion.
- Ensure the repair area is clean and free from dirt, grease, oil, or loose debris. For best results, roughen smooth surfaces with sandpaper or a wire brush.
- For underwater applications, remove as much standing water as possible, though WaterWeld is designed to cure effectively in wet conditions.
- Determine the amount of putty needed for the repair. It is recommended to cut off only the required amount to avoid waste.
5. Petunjuk Aplikasi
Ikuti langkah-langkah berikut untuk aplikasi yang efektif:
- Cut off the desired amount of WaterWeld putty from the stick.
- Knead the putty thoroughly with your fingers until it achieves a uniform color (off-white). This ensures proper mixing of the resin and hardener.
- Apply the mixed putty firmly to the repair area. Press it into cracks, holes, or gaps, ensuring good contact with the surface.
- For best results, apply within 2 minutes of mixing.


6. Curing Process
WaterWeld undergoes a chemical reaction to harden and bond.
- Atur Waktu: Approximately 25 minutes. During this time, the putty will begin to harden and can be shaped or smoothed.
- Waktu Penyembuhan: Approximately 1 hour. The product will reach its functional strength after 1 hour.
- Penyembuhan Penuh: For maximum strength and chemical resistance, allow 24 hours for a full cure.
- The cured color is off-white.
