Uses
The D4 Professional Wood Glue by Bond It is a premium, ready-to-use, solvent-free industrial-grade PVA adhesive that delivers an outstanding bond. Compared to conventional PVA Wood Glues, the Bond It D4 is unmatched due to its excellent water resistance, including total water immersion resistance. This product's other resistances include impact and temperature, making the D4 suitable for interior and exterior applications.
Preparation
Before commencing the application, you should prepare the surface to ensure you achieve optimal results. Remove any contaminants present, including dirt, dust, grease, oil, organic growth, etc. Cleaning the surface improves adhesion, but any mis-machined wood may produce a weaker bond.
Application
- Apply a thin layer of adhesive to one side; if a high-performance water resistance is required, apply to both sides.
- Avoiding using too much glue as this can significantly reduce the curing process
- Once the glue is applied, clamp the surface together until the adhesive is cured, which can take up to 8 hours.
- When bonding dowels, apply the glue to the hole and place the dowel into it.
Limitations and Notes
- Surfaces to be bonded cannot have a moisture content (<10%)
- This should not be used for load-bearing applications.
- Optimal temperatures for curing is 18°C-20°C, don't apply this product below 10°C
- Sand excess glue off before applying any wood stains
- Due to the nature of different woods, discolouration may occur, so a preliminary test is recommended.
