Mixing Procedure:
- Best results are obtained with a mix of 60 parts water per 100 parts of S440.
- To get a lump free mix: Start with water at 15 - 25°C. Add the powder adhesive to the mixing pot and add half the water.
- Start mixing and coat all the powder to make a paste; follow with the rest of the water and mix for at least 5 to 10 minutes to a lump free liquid. If the mix is not to be used right away, cover the vessel with foil or plastic wrap to prevent evaporation. Up to 8 parts of additional water may be used to thin out the mix if needed.
Application:
- The S440 should be applied as light a possible to the glue line and still maintaining a continuous line of glue film on the veneer edge. Too Heavy of a glue application will result in glue build up on the splicer machine, veneer sticking, and longer dry down times.
- Dry out, carry or assembly time can be influenced by ambient temperature, the warmer the room temperature the shorter the assembly time. The moisture content of the veneer will also influence the carry time, lower moisture contents usually shorten the time.
