Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not sticking to the surface.
Ensure surfaces are clean and properly prepared. If the surface is non-porous, lightly abrade it before applying the adhesive. Check the expiration date of the adhesive.
Adhesive is curing too slowly.
Ensure that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range. Low temperatures can slow down the curing process. Verify that the adhesive has not expired.
Weak bond after curing.
Make sure that the surfaces were properly prepared and cleaned. Check that the correct amount of adhesive was applied and that the surfaces were in contact during the curing time. Allow for the full cure time before stressing the bond.
