How to use
PREPARE

Protect work area from spills. Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry and free from dust or debris.


1. APPLY

Using a spreader, apply a thin, even coat of adhesive to each surface to be bonded. Best results achieved when applied at room temperature.


2. WAIT

Allow for adhesive to partially dry before positioning surfaces (approximately 15-20 minutes).


3. PRESS

Press surfaces firmly together when final position is achieved. Allow a minimum of 24 hours for a full cure. Cure time is dependent on the amount of adhesive applied and may increase with lower application temperatures and when used on non-porous surfaces.

 

Clean-up and Storage: Wipe uncured adhesive with a dry cloth and clean with acetone, isopropyl alcohol, or citrus-based solvents according to manufacturer’s instructions. Cured adhesive may be removed by scraping from the surface. Replace lid tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from children and animals.
