How To Use Ranger Patch on Wood and Decks
- Ready the floor by removing all loose material.
- Remove all contents from the pail.
- Pour one special aggregate bag (12 Lbs.) into the empty pail.
- Pour the contents of the Quart container (PART A) into the pail containing 12 Lbs. of aggregate. Thoroughly mix until uniform.
- Pour the contents of the pint container(PART B) into the pail containing PART A & the aggregate mix. Mix for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the second bag of special aggregate from cradle to mixed Parts (A & B) to desired consistency: thick for troweling, thin for pouring.
- Fill holes, cracks, and crevices to the level of the existing floor or decking. Feather edges with a trowel. Wet the trowel with an epoxy thinner (Xylene or a similar solvent can be used) and finish off to a smooth surface.
NOTE:
You have 25-30 minutes to apply the product to the floor. RE-18 dries in 12-18 hours for light traffic and 48-72 hours for heavy traffic. Each kit covers 15-18 sq. ft. at 1/4” thickness.
Are you able to split the mixes in half to make two batches to extend the working time to apply? I’m going to have a hard time applying this in one shot within 25 to 30 minutes.
It may be difficult for you to split the ingredients exactly in 1/2 so it mixes correctly. Might be easier to have a person or 2 helping.
Can ranger patch be done a day in advance? Does it need to fully cure before applying Permabon and Deck Revive?
Can ranger patch be used on its own to fill cracks on support posts without a PB and DR application?
Thank you
Best to do it at least 1 day in advance. You can use it in lieu of the DR and PB.
