No... - 0 PLUGGING WATER LEAKS 4 5 6 Locate source of leakage in the concrete. Rout out the leak in a U-shaped configuration to sound concrete, minimum (50 mm) deep and (5 mm) wide. Clean cavity and remove any excess water. Form a plug with AQUAFIN-PLUG-IC or AQUAFIN FIX 0-S and press this into the cavity, filling to approx. depth. Hold this in place for about 0-60 seconds, until it has set. In case of a strong water flow, insert a drain (i.e. /8 - / clear plastic pipe) into the cavity immediately before inserting the PLUG-IC or FIX 0-S. When plug is fully hardened and leakage has stopped, remove any excess material and prime remaining cavity with one slurry coat of AQUAFIN-IC.
