Hello,
Regarding the product "Sika Anchor Fix" also known as Sikadur
AnchorFix-2 used e.g. for anchoring and bonding metal screws in concrete:
Question: *must the hole in the concrete that the metal stud is going
into to be anchored be "absolutely" dry, or is it that a little moisture
or dampness won't effect the bond strength by any meaningful amount ?
Couldn't find anything on their data sheet regarding this.
Thanks,
Bob
