How to use
For best results, ensure surfaces are dry, clean and free from dust and grease. Wearing gloves is recommended.
Application
- Remove tube cap. Using a brush, spread a thin layer of the adhesive evenly over both surfaces.
- Leave the coated surfaces until the adhesive is no longer tacky, approximately 10 minutes at normal room temperature.
- Once glue is no longer tacky, ensure surfaces are accurately aligned and then press firmly together. They will stick immediately.
Cleaning
- After use, wipe the nozzle with a clean dry cloth (avoiding skin contact).
- Bostik Hard Plastics adhesive can be removed using acetone before set. Solvents can damage some surfaces, therefore carry out a test on a small area first.
FAQs
What does the term 'viscosity' mean?
Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. The higher the viscosity of a liquid, the thicker it is and the greater the resistance to flow.
Glue can be various measures of viscosity, with each measure having it's own benefits based on the application required. Low viscosity glue will spread easily, whereas high viscosity glue is ideal for vertical surfaces or areas that need a concentrated application.
What is the shelf life of the adhesive I have bought and where can I store it?
The shelf life of adhesives varies from product to product, but typically ranges between one and two years from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly in dry conditions - usually between +5°C and +25°C. Once opened, the life of the product will be more limited – this is dictated by variables including the type of adhesive, how it is stored, and how much adhesive is left unused. For more information, refer to the product’s Technical Data Sheet.
