Ky Transportation Cabinet	92 Allen Myers Agency	N Disapprove	The patch material should be provided by the epoxy manufacturer. Also, no ASTM A 775 test information is provided with this submittal.	Mar 27, 2014	1379
KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	Y Approve	For touch ups only and not on rebar For touch ups only and not on rebar	Mar 06, 2014	1373
KYTC	616 Ryan Griffith Agency	N Disapprove		Feb 20, 2014	1372
Ky Assoc. of Hwy Contractors	47 Michael LaRue Agency	N Disapprove	The feedback from one of our members is as follows: it is my opinion that this epoxy spray does not meet the recommended touch up requirements of the approved epoxy resin manufacturers. Kentucky Standard Specification section 602.03.05 states “Repair all cuts, nicks, and abrasions that exceed 0.25 percent of the surface area and the bar end with the epoxy repair material supplied by the powdered epoxy resin manufacturer”. The touch up specified by the epoxy resin manufacturers must be a two part system to meet ASTM A775 specifications. An aerosol spray cannot meet the requirement for a two part system and will be considered damaged area if applied to the epoxy bar. Furthermore, this spray will not meet the 5 mil minimum coating thickness requirement unless it is applied in multiple layers. Therefore, I recommend that this spray not be approved for use to touch up damaged areas on epoxy coated reinforcing bars.	Feb 03, 2014	1364
KYTC	635 Ajay Shah Agency	U Undecided	Could not find much information or reviews of product use. Did not see any other states using this product for highway structure projects. The product does claim to meet ASTM standards.	Jan 27, 2014	1363
KYTC	641 Bill Gulick Agency	Y Approve	I have very little experience with products of this type, however the little I do have and from others I have checked with this product can be very helpful, and meets the necessary requirements	Jan 27, 2014	1362
KYTC	592 Tim Tharpe Agency	U Undecided	Does not appear to be applicable to traffic operations. Defer final ruling to subject matter experts.	Jan 24, 2014	1361
