How to use
- The surface must be clean, dry, free from all loose materials, dust, dirt, rust and any other contaminants.
- When working with woods that are oily or high in tannic acid, wipe the joints with acetone before gluing. Acetone clears the contaminants from the wood pores on the bonding surface and dries quickly without leaving any residue.
- Apply glue to one surface.
- Press pieces together and allow to dry for 4 hours.

Once opened, the life of the product will be more limited – this is dictated by variables including the type of adhesive, how it is stored, and how much adhesive is left unused.
