Epoxy Adhesive and Reinforcing Screws

If it is determined that the use of epoxy and

reinforcing screws are required to effect repair, the screw

holes must be drilled prior to mixing the adhesive.

The screw will be installed after the adhesive

has been inserted into the crack.

The screws generally provide adequate

clamping force. The use of a vise or clamp is optional.
