Applications & Uses

Cure Method
Typical Application

Modern industrial repair, casting and bonding applications where a steel-like or cast iron finish is required.

Typical Repair Applications
  • Casting
  • Jigs
  • Molds
  • Forming dies
  • Plumbing Repairs
  • Tool and dies patching
  • Automotive repairs
  • Industrial maintenance
How To Use
  • Carefully clean and dry all surfaces to be bonded.
  • Apply this completely mixed adhesive to the prepared surfaces, and gently press these surfaces together. Contact pressure is adequate for strong, reliable bonds; however, maintain contact until adhesive is completely cured.
  • Some separation of components is common during shipping and storage. For this reason, it is recommended that the contents of the shipping container be thoroughly mixed prior to use.
  • Some ingredients in this formulation provided may crystallize when subjected to low temperature storage. A gentle warming cycle of 52°C for 30 minutes prior to mixing components may be necessary. Crystallized epoxy components do not react as well as liquid components and should be re-dissolved prior to use for best results.
