- General Use Instructions
• Pottery: Spread the adhesive evenly and clamp pieces together for 20-60 minutes. The bond will reach full strength in 24 hours.
• Paper and cloth: Spread the adhesive lightly and press materials together for 15 to 30 minutes or until moisture in the bond dissipates.
• Joint Assembly: Squeeze a generous amount of adhesive over the area to be bonded, fit the joints together snugly, and clamp the assembly to stabilize the bond for 20-60 minutes or until the adhesive film dries.
• Cold Press Laminating: Consult the spreader manufacturer for the recommended roller groove configuration (Black Bros., #A2158, 16 x 1⁄2” pattern). Keep the adhesive application area, substrates and adhesive at 65°F or above to avoid extended press and cure times. Use the following recommendations for temperatures between 70°F and 85°F, and 45% RH.- Open Time: 5 minutes
- Closed Time: 20 minutes
- Press Time: 20-60 minutes @ 40-50 psi
- Temperature: 50 ̊F minimum, 70 ̊F - 85 ̊F for best results
Please Note: The above press times and matching intervals are based on assemblies where the area for assembly and all the components are between 70°F and 85°F.
- Machining Interval: Allow 30 minute rest time before light machining. Heavy machining after 12-24 hours.
- Cure Time: The adhesive will reach full strength in 24 hours. For best results, heavy machining should occur after this interval.
