Surface preparation
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or release agents.
- Lightly roughen glossy plastic with fine sandpaper to improve adhesion, then wipe clean.
How to use
- Test on a small hidden area first.
- Apply a thin, even layer to one surface. Avoid excess.

- Allow to set undisturbed. Handling strength is typically reached within minutes.
- Full cure develops over 12 to 24 hours depending on temperature and humidity.
Tips
- For tight fitting parts, less is more. A thin film gives the strongest bond.
- Use clamps or tape to maintain alignment while the adhesive sets.
Cleanup
Wipe fresh adhesive immediately with a suitable solvent on a cloth. Cured residue may need careful mechanical removal.
Storage and safety
