- Epoxy Glue DO’S and DON’T’s
Do's
- Use epoxy glue when surface to be repaired is at least 65°. Please remember that it is possible for air temperature to be 80° and the surface to be repaired can maintain a temperature of 60°. We suggest warming surface with a heat lamp or placing it in direct sunlight to assure a minimum 65° temperature.
- After repair has been made, and a minimum of 24 hours has passed, you still have a tacky surface, you may remove the tackiness with Kardol acetone.
- Cure time may be lessened by using an electric hair dryer.
- Kardol Epoxy Glue Part 1 and Part 2 should be mixed together for approximately 3 minutes to assure thorough mixing.
- Kardol Epoxy Glue may be applied with a brush, notched trowel, plastic spreader etc. Kardol Epoxy Glue should have a glue line of 10-20 mils thickness; approximately as thick as a standard business card (1/64).
- Kardol Epoxy Glue may be mixed with washed sand, colored or plain , to form a grout or mortar. Mix 50% -75% by volume. Clean up with Kardol Toluene or Kardol Multi-Purpose Lacquer Thinner.
- Always use rubber surgical gloves when working with Kardol Epoxy Glue.
DON’T’S
- Use Epoxy Glue when outside temperature is below 60°F.
- Apply to polypropylene, polyethylene or rubber. Kardol Epoxy Glue may be used on PVC pipe after the surface has been sanded with a minimum 40 grit sandpaper and cleaned with
- Kardol acetone.
- When clamping, do not squeeze out glue – use toothpicks to prevent extensive pressure from displacing glue.
- Never leave caps or lids off containers. Epoxies attract moisture which will cause glue to have a slow cure and a tacky surface.
