$20.00
Reiff Pad adhesive
Description
This Aremco industrial grade epoxy is used to bond the HotStrip heating elements to your oil sump and oil cooler.
It contains aluminum for better thermal conductivity. It has a temp range of -85 to 400F and excellent resistance to oil and other chemicals.
Pot life is 4 hours and may be extended by freezing it.
Typical 0.5 oz total after mixing.
Cures in 24-48 hours at 75F.
Simple Instruction: Clean the surface (remove paint), Remove the divider clip, Mix it in the bag fully, Snip a corner, and Squeeze it out like toothpaste onto HotStrip. Hold in place till cure complete with tape or pressure block. Seal edge, do not allow airgaps or penetration points for best install.
Removal suggestions: Methanol, ethanol and isopropanol will very slowly dissolve the EPOXY. Acetone or acetone-based products will soften the EPOXY over a more reasonable time and this softening should help in the removal from most surfaces. In some instances, a light to moderate abrasive/mechanical method might be required. Complete removal is not required to bond a new HotStrip in place but make sure as much of the HotStrip is in contact with the item heat with the thinnest bond line possible.
Additional information
| Removal | How to remove and reinstall the aluminum HotStrip oil sump heater: Drive a putty knife or other thin blade under the heater to separate it from the surface. Keep the blade flat to the sump. Do not use a screwdriver or pry on the heater, if you bend it the resistance wire may break and ruin it. Clean off the old epoxy with epoxy stripper, available in most hardware stores (for example http://www.homedepot.com/p/Jasco-1-qt-Premium-Paint-and-Epoxy-Remover-QJBP00202/202247418 ). Then rebond it to the new engine following the HotStrip Oil Sump Heater instructions. Order epoxy from us or use JB-Weld high temp epoxy #8265. |
