SUBAC Usage and Installation Instructions

Hand-applied SUBAC works the same way as conventional mortar and requires minimal surface preparation. Remove any loose or unstable material. SUBAC is usually lowered to the diver in a pail, then placed by hand, using a trowel , or with other specialized tools depending on conditions. The shelf life of the product, if properly sealed after use, is one year.

See our Technical Data Sheet for details about proper handling of the product and warranty information. Contact us to request the MSDS Sheet for information on chemical composition.

Surface Preparation:  Remove any marine growth, loose or unstable material.

Mixing Instructions:   With gloved hand or trowel, mix Subac with enough clean, fresh water to bring the material to a uniform, putty like consistency.   Mix well and contour to desirable shape.  Mix in small quantities, and do not allow the mixture to stand for any length of time.  Once formed, coat with water creating a smooth surface, submerge and apply without delay.  Initial set time is approximately 8-10 minutes.

Application Instructions:  Subac is usually lowered to the diver in a pail and placed by hand.  Work material firmly into prepared area or void.  In high flowing areas or rapid current, maintain light pressure on patch until initial set begins.

Clean-up:  Thoroughly rinse application tools and mixing equipment with water immediately after use.

Shelf-life/ Handling & Storage:  One year if properly sealed after initial use.  Store in cool dry area.
