Hayward ECX1308 Schmear Pellets For Repairs, White

“Schmear” Many poolside repairs can be accomplished by using what we refer to as “Schmear”. It is basically ground up A.B.S. resin or pieces of broken baskets, etc. Dissolved in a solvent called M.E.K. This may sometimes be called primer or PVC cleaner.

Materials Needed:

1. Qty-1 glass jar or clean metal container

2. Qty.1 bag “Schmear” pellets available from Hayward

3. Qty-1 pint M.E.K. (Methyl Ethyl Ketone). Alternative products are: A. A clear chemical called Methylene Chloride B. PVC cleaner

To Make “Schmear”, Please Follow These Simple Directions:

1. Pour ½ pint M.E.K or one of the alternate solvents listed above into the jar or can. (Solvents are flammable, so No Smoking!)
2. Pour 2 cups of “Schmear” pellets into the solvent.
3. Constant stirring will dissolve the “Schmear” particles in a shorter period of time. It will not dissolve without stirring.
4. Your “Schmear” is ready for use as soon as it dissolves into a maple syrup-like consistency. You may have to add more solvent during the initial mixing.
5. Be sure to cover container when not being used. —If not, it will dry or harden very quickly.

Note: “Schmear” is similar to P.V.C. solvent cement, which has been used successfully to repair leaking P.V.C. joints, etc. “Schmear”, however, is better suited for repairing any broken A.B.S. products, such as valve ports, cracked gauge threads, cracked skimmers (freeze ups) and most leaks or breaks in almost any plastic part made of A.B.S. Cracked ports can easily be fixed using our part number SPX1091Z9 adapter.

“Schmear” Part Numbers: ¾ White:ECX-1308 ¾ Brown:ECX-1308-BLK¾ Ivory:ECX-1308-IVY

These are packed in a 2 lb. Carton with instructions. Solvent is not included due to its flammability, and cannot be shipped via normal carriers.

Note: A.B.S. /Cycolacare terms used to cover a general category of almost identical thermoplastic compounds. “Schmear” is perfectly suited to repair any of this type of plastic.
