MULTI-POINT
 

Re-pointing around lead flashings
 
How often have you been called back to jobs to re-point after mortar has dropped off after only a few years service. The reason for this is that the lead moves with changing temperatures and after only a few days after the installation the lead will have broken away from the mortar. The problem can now be overcome simply, economically and permanently by using Multi-point. This high quality, flexible mortar provides a neat, flexible and watertight solution
 
  • Quick and easier than Mortar.
  • Lead Coloured.
  • No Waste.
  • Provides watertight flexible joint.
  • Economical - one tube will point approximately 8m.

 
APPLICATION
Remove mortar to a depth of 25mm, ensuring that the joint is dry and free from dust. Turn the lead into the brickwork and fix the lead wedges. Pump Multipoint into the joint and tool off within five minutes to the desired finish with a damp pointing iron. Multi-point can be used to form joints from 3mm to 25mm wide and 5mm to 10mm deep.
 
TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION. A high quality neutral cure silicone resin compound, lead grey in colour, containing fungicides and special curing agents. Manufactured to BS 5889 Type A
 
COVERAGE. Multipoint will form joints from 3mm to 25mm in width, and 5mm to 10mm in depth, ideally the depth should not exceed half the width, in a 5 x 8mm joint one tube wil point approximately 8m of leadwork.
 
CURE RATE: At 25 deg. C and 50% humidity, Multi-point will skin within 20 minutes, a 3mm bead will cure within 3 days.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE
The Lead manufacturers of Multipoint Lead Sheet Sealant above, state that whilst it will bond with lead sheets and brickwork it is NOT SUITABLE for gluing both surfaces rock hard together.

A sealant and adhesive manufacturer of a similar product to Multi-Point also agree with the above and suggest using their GRIPFILL (green case) adhesive and sealing the edges to prevent the ingress of water with the Lead Sheet Sealant or a Silicone Sealant.
