Troubleshooting
Epoxy stays blue after mixing.
Continue mixing until the blue color completely disappears and the mixture becomes a consistent clear color; if it remains blue, it is not properly activated.
Bond failed or parts fell apart.
Ensure the surfaces were thoroughly cleaned of grease or oil; re-apply after cleaning and roughening the bonding surfaces.
Gel hardened inside the tip.
Replace the mixing nozzle if possible, or carefully clear the opening with a pin; always wipe the tip clean before replacing the cap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, or debris. Roughening smooth surfaces with sandpaper can significantly improve the bond strength. Once the blue indicator has turned clear during mixing, apply the epoxy immediately to one surface and press firmly against the second. Avoid moving the parts after the first minute has passed to ensure a full, high-strength cure. Store the applicator in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly secured to prevent premature hardening of the contents.
