Using the Fernco Pow-R Pipe Wrap involves:

1. Surface Preparation: Clean the damaged pipe area, removing oil, grease, rust, or paint. Abrade the surface if applying to PE/PP pipes.
2. Mixing Epoxy Putty: Knead the putty to a uniform colour and apply it to the repair area, tapering onto the pipe.
3. Activating the Wrap: Open the foil pouch and submerge the wrap in water, squeezing it for thorough saturation.
4. Applying the Wrap: Start wrapping the tape around the pipe, ensuring to cover the damaged area comprehensively with multiple layers.
5. Securing the Wrap: Maintain tension on the wrap during the curing process, which takes about 30 minutes.
6. Finishing: After curing, the repaired area can be sanded and painted if desired.
