Step #1:
Enlarge the crack's width and depth to 3/4", then cut an inverted V, using a chisel and a hammer. Thoroughly clean the crack with a wire brush.
|
Step #2:
Dampen the area and mix Stop Leak. For best results, mix a small amount of Stop Leak with clean water and mix to a putty consistency. Do not prepare more than can be applied in two minutes.
|
Step #3:
As Stop Leak starts the hardening process, it heats up. For best results, wait for the Stop Leak to warm up and stiffen, then use a putty knife to press the material into the repair area.
|
Step #4:
Hold the material in place until it hardens, usually 4 to 5 minutes. Shave off excess material and keep damp with a light mist of water for at least 30 minutes.
