Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, and loose particles. Lightly roughening the surfaces can improve adhesion.
  2. Application: Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to both surfaces. Allow to dry for the recommended time (check product instructions) before joining.
  3. Joining: Carefully align the surfaces and press them firmly together. The bond is instant, so precise alignment is essential.
  4. Compatibility: Suitable for use on wood, hardboard, metals, rubber, hard plastics, laminates, and leathers. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially with delicate materials.
  5. Care: Store in a cool, dry place. Clean up any excess adhesive immediately after use.
