FAQs
How long does it take for the bond to fully cure?
While the bond is strong enough to hold the mirror in place almost instantly, full strength cure times can vary but are generally completed within a few hours under normal conditions.
Can I use this on plastic parts?
No, this product is specifically formulated for bonding glass to metal. It is not recommended for use on plastic components.
How many mirrors can I fix with one 6-pack?
Each tube contains 0.5ml, which is typically sufficient for one standard rear view mirror application. The 6-pack allows for up to six such repairs.
What should I do if I get uncured adhesive on my skin?
Wash immediately with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Is this product suitable for exterior mirror bonding?
The product is designed for interior automotive glass-to-metal bonds. For exterior applications, consult specific product recommendations for weather resistance.
Can I reposition the mirror after applying the adhesive?
Once pressed into place, repositioning is difficult due to the fast-setting nature. It's best to align the mirror correctly before applying firm pressure.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive does not bond effectively.
Ensure surfaces were thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Check that the metal surface was lightly abraded and that the product was applied correctly to both surfaces. Verify the product has not expired.
The adhesive appears to have cured in the tube.
Ensure the cap was tightly sealed after previous use. Store tubes upright in a cool, dry place. If the product is consistently difficult to dispense, it may be time to use a fresh tube.
Bond is weak or fails under stress.
Re-evaluate surface preparation for any residual contaminants. Ensure sufficient adhesive was applied and that the parts were held together firmly during the initial set. Excessive stress before full cure can compromise the bond.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides an instant and strong bond for secure repairs.
- Specifically formulated for automotive glass-to-metal applications.
- Fast-setting nature reduces repair time.
- Durable bond resists vibration and temperature fluctuations.
- Convenient multi-pack for multiple uses.
Cons
- 0.5ml tubes are small, best for single or small repairs.

- Not suitable for bonding dissimilar materials other than glass-to-metal.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure both surfaces (glass and metal) are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or dust. Lightly abrading the metal surface can improve adhesion. Apply the adhesive to one surface, then firmly press the parts together. Hold in place for the recommended initial set time (usually very short).
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for bonding glass to metal in automotive applications. It is ideal for rear view mirrors, but can also be used for other similar automotive glass-to-metal bonding needs.
Care: Store the tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent the adhesive from curing in the tube. Clean up any excess uncured adhesive immediately with a damp cloth.
