Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not dispensing
Ensure the nozzle is properly cut and not blocked. Check if the tube is within its shelf life. If using an applicator gun, ensure it is functioning correctly.
Poor adhesion or bond failure
Verify that surfaces were clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Ensure adequate pressure was applied during bonding and that the material is compatible. Check application temperature is within recommended range.
Slow curing time
Curing time is affected by temperature and humidity. In cold or dry conditions, curing may take longer. Ensure adequate ventilation and maintain a suitable working temperature.
Excess adhesive on surfaces
Wipe away any uncured excess immediately with a damp cloth. Cured adhesive can be carefully removed by scraping or sanding.
