Troubleshooting
Adhesive doesn't bond.
Ensure surfaces were properly cleaned and roughened. Mix the components thoroughly in the correct ratio. Allow sufficient curing time.
Adhesive is cloudy or not clear.
Make sure you're using the correct amount of each component and mixed thoroughly. Improper mixing can cause cloudiness.
Adhesive is too thick or difficult to apply.
The adhesive may be too cold, making it thicker. Ensure the adhesive is at room temperature before applying.
Bond fails after curing.
Check if the bonded materials are compatible and if the recommended clamping and curing times were observed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely strong bond, suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Wide temperature resistance range.
- Gap-filling capabilities allow for use on imperfect surfaces.
- Waterproof and chemical resistant, adding to its versatility.
- Easy to use with a double chamber syringe for accurate mixing.
Cons
- Requires careful mixing of two components.
- Working time of 90 minutes may be limiting for some applications.
- Once mixed, the adhesive sets, so precise application is needed.
- Not suitable for use on all materials; check compatibility beforehand.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or oil. Lightly roughen smooth surfaces for better adhesion.
- Mixing: Using the double chamber syringe, dispense equal parts of both components onto a disposable surface. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is uniform in color.
- Application: Apply the mixed adhesive to one or both surfaces. Assemble the parts immediately, ensuring proper alignment.
- Clamping: Clamp the parts together for at least the recommended setting time (varies depending on the size of the bond). For smaller bonds, setting time is approximately 90 minutes.
- Curing: Allow the adhesive to fully cure for the time specified on the packaging before stressing the bond. Full strength is usually achieved after 24 hours.
Compatibility: This adhesive works well with a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
Care: Store the adhesive in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight. Keep the syringe tip clean to prevent clogging. Dispose of the mixed adhesive responsibly.
