Troubleshooting
Bonding is weak or fails.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and roughened if they are smooth. Use the correct amount of adhesive and hold the pieces together for the full 90 seconds.
Adhesive doesn't set.
Check the expiration date. Ensure you have dispensed equal parts from both tubes. Make sure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range.
Syringe is clogged.
Clean the nozzle with a pin or needle before the adhesive cures. If the adhesive has already cured, discard the syringe.
Adhesive is difficult to dispense.
Ensure the plunger is moving smoothly. If it's difficult, try gently warming the syringe (not above room temperature) to soften the adhesive.
