6.3.0 REPAIR METHODS/WORKMANSHIP
The window repairs shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the appropriate Repair Care repair method described below. Where a repair is not covered by one of the following repair methods, the contractor shall obtain further advice from Repair Care International Limited before undertaking the repair.
A Standard Specification for All Repairs: Preparation:
1. Remove paint at least 10mm from the area to be treated.
2. Remove all decayed and soft timber using the Repair Care Mini-Profi router and round cutter. Rather than feather the edge of the area, create a ‘shoulder’ of at least 5mm.
3. Use the the Repair Care Wood Condition Meter to ensure the moisture content is no higher than 18%.
4. If the timber is too wet, allow to dry naturally.
5. Sand the area to remove loose fibres, dust and dirt completely.
Application:
1. Shake both components and mix the required quantity of Dry Fix in the correct ratio and brush apply liberally onto the bare wood. If a timber splice is being used, the contact areas of the splice and any exposed end grain should also be coated.
