FAQs
How long does it take for the adhesive to fully cure?
The adhesive sets in 30 minutes, but full cure may take longer. Always allow sufficient time for the adhesive to fully harden before applying stress or load.
Can I use this adhesive outdoors?
Yes, it is waterproof and suitable for outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may affect the bond over time.
What is the shelf life of the adhesive?
Shelf life varies, but typically, it is 12 months when stored correctly. Check the expiration date on the tube.
What is the best way to clean up excess adhesive?
Uncured adhesive can be cleaned with a suitable solvent, such as acetone. Cured adhesive may require mechanical removal.
Can I use this adhesive on plastics?
Yes, it is suitable for bonding various plastics, including PVC. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Is clamping necessary when using this adhesive?
Yes, clamping or securing the bonded parts is recommended during the initial setting time to ensure proper contact and bond strength.
Is this adhesive suitable for use on painted surfaces?
Yes, this adhesive is overpaintable, so you can paint over it once it is fully cured.
Troubleshooting
Bond fails to set within 30 minutes.
Check the expiration date of the adhesive. Ensure surfaces were properly prepared and cleaned. The ambient temperature may be too low; allow more time for curing in cold conditions. Make sure the surfaces were properly clamped or held together during the initial setting phase.
Adhesive does not bond properly.
Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of any contaminants. Make sure the adhesive is applied evenly. Use sufficient clamping pressure for the recommended time. Check compatibility of materials, some materials may require extra preparation.
Adhesive is difficult to dispense.
Make sure you're using the correct dispensing tool for the 310ml tube. Clear the nozzle of any dried adhesive. Ensure the tube is stored in a suitable temperature to prevent the adhesive from becoming too viscous.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles for optimal adhesion. Lightly roughening smooth surfaces can improve bonding.
- Application: Apply the adhesive evenly to one or both surfaces. For gap-filling applications, apply a generous amount.
- Assembly: Join the pieces within the specified open time, ensuring correct alignment. Apply clamping pressure or secure with tape for the initial setting period.
- Curing: Allow the adhesive to fully cure for the time specified by the manufacturer (usually 30 minutes). Avoid disturbing the bonded parts during the curing process.
- Compatibility:
- Suitable for wood, Formica, polystyrene, PU foam, metal, glass wool, PVC, stone, concrete, brick, and masonry.
- Not recommended for continuous immersion in water or exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Care:
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Clean up uncured adhesive with a suitable solvent. Once cured, removal is more difficult.
