- compacted base
- plywood
Typical applications
- General installation, repair, and maintenance where a durable bond is required.
- Interior work that benefits from a neat finish and tidy joints.
- Projects where dependable initial grab and high final strength are important.
Surface preparation
Ensure all surfaces are clean, sound, and dry. Remove dust, oil, release agents, laitance, and any loose or flaky material. For dense or non-porous surfaces, light abrasion improves key. Test adhesion on a small area if you are unsure about compatibility. Observe local safety requirements when sanding or cutting.
Application
- Check ambient and substrate temperature. Install in dry conditions between 10°C and 30°C, avoiding heavy dew or rain.
- Cut the nozzle to the required bead size or prepare the container according to the product type.
- Apply an even bead or spread with a suitable trowel where required. Avoid trapping air.
- Press the materials together, ensuring full contact. For sheet goods, roll firmly to promote transfer and wetting.
- Support, clamp, or brace as needed until the adhesive develops sufficient handling strength.
Cure and working time
Working time varies with conditions. Allow sufficient cure before foot traffic. Full strength typically within 24 to 48 hours. Cooler temperatures and high humidity will slow curing, while warmer, drier conditions accelerate it. Do not load or finish until the bond has developed adequate strength. Always follow best practice for ventilation and safe handling during cure.
Coverage
Coverage varies based on substrate profile, bead size, and installation method. As a guide, a 300 ml cartridge with a 6 mm round bead can lay several linear meters. For trowel applied adhesives, a notched trowel pattern will influence yield. Plan to have extra on hand for porous or uneven surfaces.
Limitations
- Do not apply to surfaces that are visibly wet unless the product specifically allows damp application.
- Avoid continuous water immersion unless the product is rated for that exposure.
- Not all plastics are compatible; test on polypropylene, polyethylene, and PTFE if required.
- Observe maximum service temperature and any movement or vibration limits appropriate to the application.
Clean up
Clean tools while wet with a suitable solvent or soapy water depending on formulation. Always read the product label and follow local regulations for disposal of leftover material and containers.
Safety
Read the label before use and keep out of reach of children. Use in a well ventilated area. Wear protective gloves and eye protection. If on skin, wash with soap and water. If in eyes, rinse cautiously and seek medical advice if irritation persists. Do not ingest. Refer to the product Safety Data Sheet for detailed information.
Storage
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the cap or nozzle tightly closed when not in use. Do not allow to freeze unless the product literature states it is freeze-thaw stable. Rotate stock to use older product first.
Troubleshooting
-
Poor adhesion: Check surface prep, remove contaminants, and reapply with firm pressure.
-
Slow cure: Verify temperature and humidity. Increase airflow or allow more time.
-
Excess squeeze-out: Reduce bead size or spread more evenly. Clean residue before it skins.
Frequently asked questions
Can I paint over it? Many adhesives can be overcoated once cured. Test a small area with your paint system first.
Is it suitable outdoors? Check the product label for outdoor rating. Protect fresh adhesive from rain until cured.
What is the service temperature range? Typical service ranges suit most building environments. Avoid direct flame or extreme heat.
How do I remove cured material? Mechanical methods are usually required. Work carefully to avoid damaging surrounding finishes.
