How is the STOP IT® PIPE REPAIR SYSTEM used?

STOP IT® is so easy to apply, its directions could be

as simple as, "Dip it, wrap it and rub it!" STOP IT® is a hand-applied product, and the only tool required is a rasp or file to rough score the pipe or hose surface. STOP IT® bonds through adhesion as well as the mechanical bond resulting from the tension of the wrap. Proper surface preparation is key to promoting a better foundation for the repair. The FIX STIX™ epoxy provided in each kit should be used in conjunction with the STOP IT®. After mixing the inner and outer cores until they become uniform in color, the FIX STIX™ may be used as a fill material for holes and cracks. The FIX STIX™ can also be used to create a smooth transition at offsets or joints (the FIX STIX™ would be formed into a long rope, wrapped around the offset or joint and pressed into place before wrapping the STOP IT® over the leak site). Wearing the gloves, the roll of STOP IT® is immersed in water for 3-5 seconds (squeezing it a few times to get it good and saturated) and wrapped as tightly as possible where needed. Remember the material is very conformable and can be used to address leaks or cracks in crosses, tees or elbows. After wrapping the STOP IT®, re-wet your hands and begin to compress the resins back into the fiberglass material. Maintain the polishing action until the resins harden to the touch and all bubbling ceases. There will be a slight exotherm to the repair that is part of the chemical process and is quite normal. The heat generated is minimal and will not damage plastic pipe or harm the applicator. Wait the 30 minutes needed for the STOP IT® to fully cure before re-pressuring the line. Can STOP IT® PIPE REPAIR SYSTEM be used to address active leaks? Yes. It is important to realize that any drip or stream from the leak will cut through STOP IT®'s resins before they have the chance to setup and harden. If there isn't the time to wait to allow the pipe to completely drain, but the line pressure has been reduced (by diverting some of the flow by opening valves or by shutting the flow entirely) to 15-20 psi which might represent remaining line or head pressure-the active leak application technique may be attempted. A quick rule of "thumb" is to try to stop the leak by pressing your thumb or finger on the leak. If the pipe pressure doesn't build and you are able to keep your thumb on the pipe, then there is a good chance you will succeed using this technique. Put on the gloves and activate the FIX STIX™ epoxy. Put the epoxy aside and open the pouch of STOP IT®. Take a part of the activated plug and press it into the material at a place about 1 - 1.5" from the end of the tape. Use your thumb to press the epoxy into the fiberglass until you see it protrude on the other side of the tape. Pat the epoxy until it is smooth and in full contact with the STOP IT® material. Immerse the roll into water and activate in normal fashion. Center the epoxy plug over the hole and cinch the material over the active leak by wrapping the STOP IT® a few times and pulling firmly. Keep wrapping, and if by chance you "miss" the leak, apply some more of the FIX STIX™ on the leak (over the few plies of STOP IT® already on the pipe) and finish wrapping, pulling smoothly and firmly throughout the application process. You should notice the leaking has stopped, and that the final stages of wrapping are performed without any signs of an active leak. Polish the resins as normal and wait the allotted time before re-pressuring the line.
