Applications & Uses

Application Instructions

• Combine resin and activator in equal volume and mix thoroughly. For convenience and accuracy use pre-measured 220ml and 400 ml cartridges with disposable static mixers. Open time is 10 - 15 minutes at room temperature. Handling strength within approximately 45 - 60 minutes.
• Our PVC TrimWelder™ Laminating Grade is designed to work on the skin of the sheet. Removing the skin produces erratic results and uses more adhesive to fill in the cells, yet still produces a lesser bond.
• We recommend you apply the adhesive to a clean (dust free) part. A 7/8" diameter bead will yield enough adhesive to cover a 60" width at a 0.010" bond line. A single 400 ml cartridge will cover 22" of length.
• It is recommended that the bead be applied to the center of the part (lengthwise) and only troweled slightly to provide a "stripe" 10 - 15 times the bead diameter. Do not brush or roll the adhesive. The adhesive should be slightly higher in the center of the stripe to ensure that no air is captured by placement of the top sheet.
• In addition, a 3" diameter spot of adhesive should be placed in each corner of the part inboard from the ends and sides by about 1/5th the width of the sheet On a 40 sq ft lamination, apply 1 - 2 psi of clamping pressure. Leave the clamp or weight in place for approximately 30 minutes and remove. Wait an extra 30 minutes before cutting. Use our sandable PVC TrimWelder™ Fast Cure to seal the ends and hide the cells.
