The StitchDog™ kits come with (1) Epoxy Tube set, (2) mixing tips, (10) Carbon Fiber Grid Stitches, a pair of heavy duty work glove and an installation guideline card.

It is recommended that you place each carbon fiber grid stitch every 10 to 12 inches.  The kits come with 10 carbon fiber grid stitches so you should be able to cover 8 to 10 feet of linear crack repairs. 

The StitchDog® 4000 epoxy has a low viscosity and is designed to penetrate deep into a crack line.  When the substrate crackline is wider than 1/8 inch, the epoxy could leach all the way to the bottom of the substrate. 

To prevent or address leaching:

Typical Crack 

After applying the initial bead of the StitchDog® 4000 and noticing that it is leaching,  you can place sand or Portland cement directly into the crack line followed by another bead of the StitchDog® 4000.  Continue to add sand if excessive leaching occurs.

Cracks Larger than 1/8 of Inch

Before applying StitchDog® 4000, prefill the crack with silica sand, leaving at least 1" from the top of the substrate to the top of the sandfilled crack. Once sanding is complete, apply StitchDog® Carbon Fiber grid stitch as per Installatons Guidelines.  

Note: Larger cracks will require more StitchDog® 4000 than a typical crack repair.

The StitchDog® system is compatible with polymer overlays, epoxy coatings, terrazzo,  paint, polish,-plaster, brick, pool plaster and almost any floor covering without any bonding concerns.   Refer to the installation guidelines  and contact technical support for compatibilty guidelines.
