Application Advice
Firstly, ensure both bonding surfaces remain clean, dry and free from dust, grease and loose material. Next, apply an even coat of adhesive to both surfaces using a brush or serrated spreader. Then, allow the adhesive to become touch dry before carefully aligning both surfaces.
Once the adhesive reaches the correct tack level, press both surfaces firmly together using even pressure across the entire bonded area. Since the adhesive bonds immediately on contact, accurate positioning is essential. Afterwards, allow the bond to develop fully over the next 24 to 48 hours. Consequently, you will achieve a durable, professional-quality bond capable of withstanding demanding everyday use.
