Troubleshooting
Stud won't tighten properly.
Ensure the hole is the correct size, the threads are clean, and you are using the correct torque setting with a torque wrench.
Stud is loose after installation.
Verify that the resin has fully cured and that the substrate was properly prepared. If necessary, remove the stud, clean the hole, and reinstall with fresh resin.
Difficulty inserting the stud.
Ensure the hole is clean and the stud threads are not damaged. If the hole is too small, redrill it to the correct diameter.
Resin not curing.
Check the resin expiration date and ensure the mixing ratio is correct. The ambient temperature may be too low; allow for more curing time, or use a faster-curing resin.
