Directions
- Surface prep: abrade, clean, and dry both surfaces.
- Pierce each tube using the spike in the cap. Dispense equal parts onto a clean disposable surface.
- Mix thoroughly. Leave for 5 minutes, then mix again before applying. Mixed glue is usable for about 1 hour at 20°C. Do not use the plastic blister to mix.
- Apply to both surfaces and join. Support if needed to prevent movement.
