Resetting masonry anchors in a loose porch railing
Wear and tear through time and weather will loosen anchor bolts holding vertical railing posts to their base in concrete porches or stairs. Loctite® Metal and Concrete Epoxy is a high strength, two-part system to reset anchor bolts and fill gaps between metal and concrete.
Step-by-Step Directions
|
Remove anchor bolts from the loose support posts and clean dirt or loose concrete from the bolts and holes. |
|
Dispense equal parts of the resin and hardener in a disposable container and mix until uniform (approx. 1 minute). If needed, tint mix with cement or sand for color matching. |
|
Insert the anchor bolts into the holes and fill with the mixed epoxy compound. (Make sure anchors are straight and undistributed while repair sets and hardens – 24 hours). |
|
Reattach railing to anchor bolts. |
Tips
Loctite Metal and Concrete Epoxy achieves a permanent, weather and water resistant bond on a wide range of materials for both interior and exterior projects. It is non-shrinking and great for gap bonding, where parts do not tightly match.
Loctite Epoxies are available in a wide range of formulations, set times and applicators. Choose the epoxy that best matches your project or repair.
