- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- General Instructions
- Surfaces to be bonded should be clean and dry and free of grease.
- Apply enough product to fill all engaged threads or gaps.
- The product performs best in thin bond gaps. Very large gaps may affect the cure speed and overall strength.
- Good contact is essential.
- It is recommended to confirm compatibility of the product with all substrates prior to use.
- This product is not recommended for use with strong oxidizing materials.
- Where aqueous washing systems are used to clean surfaces before bonding, these washes may affect the cure and performance of the adhesive.
- This product is not normally recommended for use on plastics; users must check compatibility with such substrates.
