- General Instructions
General Use Instructions
- Ensure substrates and adhesive are above 65°F.
- Best results are achieved between 70°F and 85°F.
- Surfaces must be clean and dry.
Hand Spray Instructions
- Fluid pressure: 30 psi; atomizing air pressure: 60 psi; fluid line: 3/8" |.D. minimum (See equipment recommendations later in this document).
- Coat both surfaces evenly with 7-8 wet grams/ft? covering 100% of each surface. Coat each perimeter slightly heavier. Open time is 2-5 minutes. Bond immediately and before the adhesive film becomes more than 50% clear.
- Use mechanical pressure (pinch roller) on all assemblies greater than 4 ft*. Otherwise, apply 30-40 psi uniform downward pressure using hand-held J-roller over 100% of the bonded area,
- Large assemblies may be routed or filed immediately. Assemblies less than 4 ft? should rest (5-10 minutes) prior to finishing. Use cover board to protect components against pulling, Knocking or stress for one hour. Bond will usually reach full strength in 24 hours.
Spray Equipment Recommendations
- Binks: Gun: M95, M95 Auto, M61; Fluid Tip: 68ss (1-2 traversing heads), 66ss (3+ traversing heads), 66ss (edge/underwrap); Air Cap: 68PB (1-2 traversing heads), 66PJ (3+ traversing heads), 66R or 66PJ (edge/underwrap); Needle: 668 for 68ss fluid tip; 665 for 66ss fluid tip.
- DeVilbiss: Gun: JGA 510, MSA 510; Fluid Tip: D type; Air Cap: 64HD; Needle: D type
Flow Through Post Forming Instructions
- Coat both deck surfaces evenly with 7-8 wet grams / ft? covering 100% of each surface. Coat board edge to be formed slightly heavier.
- Run laminate and core through drying oven that has been preset to achieve laminate exit temperature of 125°F-150°F. Adhesive film should appear dry (50% clear) but still soft to increased finger pressure.
- Index and apply uniform mechanical pressure (30-40 psi) while laminate temperature is at least 110°F.
- Postform per the manufacturer's recommendations. 180° bends should end on a flat area at least %” in width.
Glue Spreader/Hot Press Instructions
- Follow the glue spreader manufacturer's recommendations. « Use a dual durometer roller (Black Bros. A2158, 16 x %" pattern).
- Select a groove pattern appropriate for PVA adhesive.
- Apply 6-8 wet mils with glue spreader.
- Open time is 2-5 minutes.
- Coating of only one surface is preferable
- Assemble and hot press for 1-2 minutes under 40-50 psi and 180°F-200'F.
- Allow panel to cool for 2-5 minutes.
- Proceed with fabrication.
