How to use
- Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from all loose materials, dust, dirt, oil, rust and any other contaminants. Non-porous substrates such as metals, glass and plastics should be degreased with a solvent. Hard plastics should be lightly abraded with emery paper.
- For best results, ensure that temperature of the surfaces to be bonded is above 18°C.
- Apply adhesive to both surfaces evenly with a fine serrated trowel or a stiff brush.
- Allow both surfaces to dry (approximately 5 to 10 minutes under normal room temperature conditions). The adhesive should take on a uniform glossy appearance when it is dry. There should be no transfer of adhesive to the back of a finger when touched).
- After the surfaces are touch dry, they must be brought together before the open time or tack life is exceeded. This is the time within which a satisfactory bond can be formed under contact pressure, and is approximately 20 minutes under ambient conditions.
- Ensure that the surfaces are accurately aligned before bonding, since no adjustment is possible after the adhesive films have made contact.
- Apply a firm pressure to the whole surface for a few seconds to create an instantaneous bond.
- Full strength is achieved after 24 hours, however, bonded assemblies can be machined or trimmed immediately after bonding.
