Application & Advantages

Application:
Mix the G-STOP directly in the tank with 200 times its volume water. Wait 10 minutes. Inject the mixture into the drill string. Inject a volume of water to move mixture to the correct location. Wait 20 minutes. Drill. If the fissure is large, repeat procedure.

Alternate method:
Place 1 gallon of dry Polyseal in a 20 litre pail with 10 liters of water. Allow G-STOP to partially swell. Add 1 litre of partially swollen G-STOP to the rods after the core tube has been pulled. Pump down hole and replace inner tube. Repeat as necessary to stop loss.
