Will your epoxy work with all thread / ready rod? I need to fasten a plate of steel to a concrete floor (9" thick) and wedge anchors won't do the trick. The holes were drilled into the concrete with too small of a drill, which took too long, making the holes slightly too large for the wedges to grab. The ready rod would be 3/4" in diameter.
Thank you. What did you mean by wiring in the basket at the end of the video? I’m trying to create a cement pillar on top of an existing cement slab which will extend about 2 1/2 feet upwards and perhaps 12 inches diameter in order to mount a gazebo on top of the pillars. After gluing down the rebar, do I need to wire together a rebar basket for optimal strength within the pillar?
Bit of an engineering question here, but generally speaking it's best practice to include a rebar cage (aka "basket") if you're pouring a column, especially one of that size.
I plan to extend a concrete deck post and use 1/2 rebar and a 12" sono tubue. Do I need to use this epoxy or can I just drill a 1/2 hole and stick in the rebar and fill the sonotube with concrete?
Where can I get information on how big the hole needs to be for any particular size threaded rod? I cant find anything on your website under both of these products. It just shows how to use them under the "technical data sheet."
That's a pretty technical question that is going to vary quite a bit based on your application...believe you're looking at ACI 355.4 for the precise answers. However, as a rule of thumb: Hole diameter: 3x to 4x the diameter of the rod Hole depth: 8x to 12x the diameter of the rod So, a 3/8" threaded rod would require a minimum 1.125" wide and 3" deep hole.
@@SakreteOfficial interesting. I’ve never read anywhere that the diameter of the hole needs to be 3 to 4 times the diameter of the threaded rod. Every other epoxy manufacturer states right around 1/8” bigger than the rod you are using. That’s crazy to have 2.5” wide hole for a 5/8” rod. I have heard the depth needs to be upwards of 5-8x the diameter of the rod.
I plan on repairing the floor of a warehouse... definitely will use this to secure the rebar.

Absolutely - that's a perfect application for these epoxies.
@@SakreteOfficial Okay, you've got my business. Thank you!
Let us know how it turns out!
Used your product today, works great
Right on!
You should maybe mention to make sure the holes are blown out of any drilling dust to ensure adhesion
Good point!
I use water, then days later do the setting.
@@onjofilms Even better solution if you can afford to wait!
Yes that can work@@onjofilms

Actually epoxying the new 1/2" rebar into the old deck post would really be preferable, especially in a structural application like you're describing.
@@SakreteOfficial Thanks.

The hole for the rebar in the video is not 3x to 4x the rebar diameter. Maybe 10% larger?
@@francop962 Thats how they sell you 10 tubes of this stuff
@@francop962lol
Does it works in adobe houses? May I use epoxy to secure rebar in adobe build wall? No other anchors are working well.
Should work well, but give our Tech Team a call at 866-SAKRETE to discuss this one in detail!
Does it rust metal like normal cement / concrete does?
Nope - this is specifically engineered to be non-reactive with steel.
0:29 so rapid set is STRONGER than high strength??
Correct! A bit counter-intuitive...
@@SakreteOfficial 😯
Great but better to tell people to clean out the dust in the hole thoroughly
Great point - we'll add that callout!
Show the product brother👍
It's not much to look at...but we'll take that advice for the next time we shoot a video on this stuff!
Lol, I’m guessing I was wanting to read the label🥴.
Thanks!!
dont need a guitar solo to sell me anchoring epoxy
Yea, but the guitar solo was MUCH cooler than the track that the string quartet sent in.
Did not tell us to clean hole. Did not tell what the size ratio of hole to rebar. Useless video.
Great catch on the cleaning step - that's a must!
We'll plan to update this one to incorporate those notes. Appreciate the feedback!
