12-inches of 5/8-inch diameter round bar, with a 2 3/4-inch upset.
Quick “How-to” demonstration describing how simple it is too secure bolts (as well as rebar, threaded rod, and other metal anchors) into concrete using an epoxy product.
The process involves drilling appropriate sized holes into concrete to the proper depth using a hammer drill with a masonry bit – cleaning out the drilled holes to remove the concrete debris created from drilling – mixing the concrete epoxy product properly – filling the drilled holes with concrete epoxy – and placing the bolts slowly into the holes with the concrete epoxy mix. This product cures in a few hours and claims to be stronger then concrete itself.
