RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

Ideal for repairing or assembling furniture, jewellery, china, appliances and Models. Fast cure metal-to-metal bonding and repairs.

APPLICATION

Surface Preparation – 5 minute Epoxy works best on clean surfaces.
Surfaces should be solvent-wiped, free of heavy deposits of grease, oil, dirt or other contaminants, or cleaned with industrial cleaning equipment such as
vapour phase degreasers or hot aqueous baths. Abrading or roughing the surfaces of metals will increase the microscopic bond area significantly and
optimise the bond strength.
Mixing – Proper homogenous mixing of the two epoxy components of resin and hardener are essential for the curing and development of stated strengths. Always mix the two components with clean tools, preferably of a disposable design.
Application – Apply mixed epoxy directly to one surface in an even film or as a bead. Assemble with the mating part within the recommended working
time. Obtain firm contact between the parts to minimise any gap and ensure good contact of the epoxy with the mating part. A small fillet of epoxy
should flow out the edges to show there is adequate gap filling. For very large gaps, apply epoxy to both surfaces and spread to cover the entire area,
or make a bead pattern which will allow flow through the joint. Let bonded assemblies stand for the recommended functional cure time before handling. They are capable of withstanding processing forces at this point, but should not be dropped, shock loaded, or heavily loaded. Cure – Full bond strength is reached in 1 hour.
Storage and Shelf Life – Epoxy adhesives should be stored in a cool, dry place when not used for a long period of time. A shelf life of 1 year from the date of manufacture can be expected when stored at room
temperature (22C) in their original containers.
