Application Instructions
  • Materials required: foam damming materials, metal dams, sealing adhesive, release agent, washing agent or acetone, heavy duty hand electric drill with an operating speed of 200 rpm, jiffy mixer, knife, infrared thermometer, heater (used when the temperature is below 13℃), protective gloves and goggles.
  • TS365 marine chocking compound: try to store the adhesive at (23±2)℃ for at least the last 12 hours before use.
  • Clean: clean all surfaces that the adhesive will contact, they should be free from grease, oil, water, rust or paint.
  • Adjustment: the machine’s alignment and the casting cavities should be adjusted to the required size through the adjustable bolts, wedge blocks and so on.

  • Damming: Attach the iron behind between the body base and engine base to support the follow-up of foam sealing material.

H.B. Fuller TS365 Marine Chocking Compound - Application Instructions - 1

Attach the iron front between the body base and engine base to form the pouring area, the height and distance from the base should be accorded with limits shown. And leak the attachment with the sealant adhesive.

  • Samples: pour the mixture about 300 g to the appropriate small box, after curing test Barcol hardness.
  • Curing: It is appropriate when Barcol hardness of samples and chocks is higher than 35. Make sure the temperature is at least 13 ℃ , use heater if necessary.
  • After curing: remove the iron dams, take the sharp edge off the over pour; adjust the adjustment bolts and wedge blocks; tighten the hold down bolts to the desired tension or torque.
