INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Make sure surfaces are dry, clean and free from dust, dirt and grease. For even better bonding slightly roughen surfaces with sandpaper.
2. Remove cups from the tubes.
3. Dispense equal volumes of resin and hardener onto a clean disposable surface. Mix well for 30 seconds, by stirring and folding, with the plastic palette knife provided. It is important to ensure a thorough mix. Reseal the tubes as soon as possible.
4. Apply the mixed adhesive to both surfaces of the joint and assemble carefully. A layer of adhesive 0.05 to 0.10 mm thick will normally impart the greatest lap shear strength to the joint.
5. Keep the joint supported until set. A rubber band or sticky tape is ideal. An approximate guide to support and handling times at room temperature is given below:
   Pot life: 90 minutes, approximately at 23^oC
   Support time: 8 hours at approximately at 23^oC
   Full strength: 14 hours at 23^oC
   Setting times may be shorter in hot weather. In cold conditions the rate of curing of the mixed adhesive may be slowed down significantly and weak joints may result. For best results, use between 20^oC and 25^oC
6. For a perfect finish carefully remove any excess adhesive with a sharp knife before the adhesive has fully hardened.

REMARKS

Thorough mixing is the key to getting a good cured product. Simply stirring leaves unmixed materials at the margins. Always fold in the edges then re-stir. Cured adhesive may yellow if exposed to sunlight for long periods.
