How do I prepare the surfaces to be glued?
- Ensure surfaces are clean; dry free from grease and loose materials.
- For best results, surfaces and surroundings should be pleasantly warm.
- Take out a sheet of dots from the wallet.
- Fold and then tear off, along the perforations, to remove as many dots as required.
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.
