Glue application instructions
1. Preparation
-
Wear safety glasses and gloves before starting and at all times during work.
-
Make sure that the adhesive's color matches the color of the surface (use the Acrilove matching chart). If necessary, make a trial gluing using a scrap sheet.
-
Clean the glueing area from dust, degrease parts joints properly, prepare clamps and auxiliary tools.
-
Insert the cartridge into the applicator in accordance with the applicator’s instructions manual.
-
Remove the protective cap by turning it by a quarter turn and then pulling it off the cartridge. Inspect the cartridge, make sure it is clean, if necessary clean it from any possible contamination.
-
Move the applicator plunger close to the cartridge pistons and make one or two trial presses on the applicator lever.
-
After making sure that the adhesive and the hardener come evenly from both nozzles, put a static mixer onto the cartridge and wrap it in a quarter turn. (In order to remove the mixer, repeat the steps in the reverse order).
-
Gently press at the applicator’s lever in order to squeeze out a little of the adhesive. The adhesive is now ready to use.
2. Applying the adhesive
-
Apply the adhesive with an even roller in order for when compressing the surfaces are glued together, a slight squeeze-out of the excess glue will occur.
-
In invisible places, and where there are no increased demand for the cleanliness of the joint, leave an excess of the adhesive to add an extra strength to the seam.
-
It is necessary to assemble and compress the glued surfaces no later than 10 minutes after applying the adhesive.
-
When working, avoid over-tightening the clamps, as this can weaken the strength of the glueing se am.
3. Completing the work.
-
After completing the work, remove the static cartridge mixer and put the protective cap back on.
-
Store the cartridge with the adhesive in a dark, cool place until the next use.
-
Empty cartridges and used static mixers must be disposed according your country regulations.
