  Water is needed to activate the Trident-Seal™ Fiberglass Outer Wrap. Put on supplied gloves, open foil package and submerge in water for 10 seconds. Trident-Seal™ Fiberglass Outer Wrap must be wrapped 2" on either side of the Trident-Seal™ Rubber Tape to cover the entire repair site.

  NOTE: Occasionally twisting the Fiberglass as it is applied helps it conform tightly to the pipe surface. Wrap Trident-Seal™ Fiberglass Outer Wrap over the entire repair area. Insert I.D. Tag under the last 2 wraps then squeeze and mold in the direction of the wrap until tacky. (approx. 5 min.)

  Once the Trident-Seal™ Fiberglass Out Wrap is cured (30 minutes @ 75F) it can be painted with a water, oil or epoxy based paint.
