Preparation
Preparing the surface is vital to ensure an optimal bond is achieved. Start by removing all contaminants that can hinder the adhesion, including dirt, dust, grease, oil, etc. Store all surfaces in a warm environment before bonding to avoid chilling glue lines, which can extend curing times and cause difficulties with adhesion.
Application
Shake the can thoroughly before using
- Choose the fan width you desire by twisting the nozzle.
- You should apply this adhesive 15 - 20 cm (6 - 8 inches) away from the surface.
- To achieve the strongest bond, apply 1-3 coats to both surfaces and allow the solvents to evaporate, which can take about 30 seconds. Bring both surfaces together, pressing from the centre outwards.
- To achieve a temporary repositionable bond, apply 1 coat to 1 surface and allow 2-3 minutes before bonding together.
- After finishing the application, turn the can upside down and spray the nozzle until it's clear from the adhesive, this will prevent it from blocking up in future applications.
Limitations and Notes
- Do not use this product on soft (plasticised) PVC.
- This product is not suitable for polystyrene, bitumen, asphalt, cellulose-painted or tar-leaching surfaces.
- Do not use a mirror adhesive, as this product may attack the back of the mirror.
- Do not expose the bond to sunlight 3 days after fixing.
- This product is not suitable for constant water immersion.
- Always allow the adhesive to touch dry before bringing it together; otherwise, the solvent will become trapped, which can blister laminates.
- Low temperatures can allow moisture to contact the bond whilst it's curing; this can have detrimental effects on the bonding glue.
