How to Use

• Ensure all bonding surfaces are clean, sound and free from dust, grease, oil and loose material; lightly abrade smooth or dense surfaces if necessary.

• Cut the cartridge nozzle to the desired bead size, load into a standard sealant gun and apply a thin, even bead of adhesive to one of the surfaces.

• Bring the components together promptly and press firmly into position within the 5 minute open time, adjusting alignment as required.

• Use suitable clamps, presses or weights to maintain firm, even pressure across the joint while the adhesive sets, especially on load-bearing or larger surfaces.

• Immediately wipe away any excess adhesive squeeze-out with a damp cloth before it begins to cure; once hardened it will need to be removed mechanically.

• Allow the joint to reach full cure (typically 24 hours) before applying full load, machining, sanding or finishing. Always follow good practice and wear appropriate protective gloves when handling PU adhesives.
