NOTE: Take a look at your Corner/Radius Staple. There are 4 holes. The three smaller sized holes are for anchor bolts, and the single larger hole is for the CAM.

STEP 1

• Using the provided template, trace around the outside of the template and mark cutouts along the crack approximately every 12 inches.

Note: It may help to pre-fold the staple at the centerline, as marked on the template.

Step 2

• Cut about an 18" area around the crack(s) using a masonry saw, wide enough to fit the staple with extra space on the side.

• Using a small hammer drill, carefully chip the plaster inside the wide-cut area.

Note: If the pool is already de-plastered, skip this step.

Step 3

• Using the provided templates, trace the perimeter of where the staples will be set.

• Repeat tracing the template every 12 inches along the crack.

• Using a masonry saw with a 4½" diamond blade, make a plunge cut into the structure along the marked lines, approximately 2 inches deep.

• Use a small hammer drill to chip out ~2" of plaster.

Step 4

• Center and hold the corner/radius staple in the cutout area.

• Use a pencil or crayon to trace and mark drill locations through the small holes of the staple.

Step 5

• At the furthest left anchor bolt hole, drill 4 inches deep using a ½"masonry bit.

Note: Drilling deeper will not affect performance.

• Clean the drilled hole.

• Tap the first anchor bolt into the hole.

• Place the staple over the bolt and secure it with a washer and hex nut using a ratchet. The staple should now be partially secured.

Step 6

• Drill through the two remaining small holes on the right side of the staple.

⚠️ DO NOT drill the large CAM hole yet!

• Clean the drilled holes.

• Insert two additional anchor bolts, and secure them with washers and hex nuts using a ratchet. The staple should now be fully secured and flush with the gunite structure.

Step 7

• Mark the location of the "ratchet hole" by placing the CAM bolt in the large hole. The ratchet hole should be facing toward the center of the staple.

• Drill at the marked location and clean the hole.

• Insert the CAM into the hole and adjust until it's fully seated in the staple.

Note: If the CAM does not align properly, use a larger drill bit to enlarge the hole slightly.

• Use the supplied epoxy to secure the post into the hole.

Step 8

• Set your torque wrench to 22 ft-lbs.

• Using a ⅜" ratchet attachment, tighten the CAM until the torque setting is reached.

⚠ IMPORTANT: If a second structural crack exists within 5 feet, torque staples to 12 ft-lbs instead.

Step 9

• Create a shallow "V-Cut" along the structural crack using a diamond or carbide blade.

• Clean out the crack of dust and debris.

• Use non-shrinking hydraulic cement to fill the cracks and cutouts.

• Trowel the cement tightly into place, ensuring no air pockets or voids are left.

• Once the repair is complete, you can apply your desired finish: plaster, paint, tile, marcite, cool deck, etc.
