FAQs
What is the working time after mixing?
The working time is typically a few minutes, allowing for quick application and alignment before it begins to set.
How long does it take to fully cure?
Full cure is generally achieved within 1-2 hours, but handling strength is often reached much sooner.
Can this adhesive be sanded or painted?
Once fully cured, the adhesive can typically be sanded and painted to match the surrounding material.
Is the red color permanent?
Yes, the red color is a characteristic of the cured adhesive and is permanent.
What should I do if I get uncured glue on my skin?
Wash immediately with soap and water. Do not use solvents. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
How should I store the unused adhesive?
Store in a cool, dry place with the caps tightly sealed. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Glue does not harden or cures very slowly.
Ensure equal parts of both components were mixed accurately. Check if the mixing was thorough. Verify storage conditions were not too cold.
Bond is weak or fails.
Surfaces may not have been properly prepared (clean, dry, or abraded). Insufficient mixing of components. Parts may have shifted before the adhesive fully cured.
Difficulty dispensing components.
Ensure the nozzle is clear. If stored for a long time, components might have partially solidified; warm gently if necessary and attempt again.
