Timco PU Wood Adhesive - Gel - 310Ml - 1 Each

The adhesive requires 12 hours for a full cure to achieve its maximum bond strength. While it sets initially in 30 minutes, avoid stressing the bond until the full cure is achieved.

Yes, this adhesive is designed to bond painted wood effectively. Ensure the paint surface is clean and sound.

While it is 100% waterproof to D4 standards and has excellent chemical resistance, it's always recommended to check specific marine industry standards or consult with a specialist for critical marine applications.

Uncured adhesive can be wiped away with a damp cloth. For tougher residue or if the adhesive has started to cure, use a solvent such as white spirit.

Typically, unopened adhesive has a shelf life of 12 months when stored correctly in a cool, dry place. Check the product packaging for specific expiration dates.

It bonds PVC and some other plastics. However, compatibility with all plastic types is not guaranteed. It is best to test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

The 'Open Time' (30 minutes) is the period during which you can apply the adhesive and bring the parts together. The 'Working Time' is typically similar and refers to the time you have to adjust the bond before it starts to set. After this, clamping is essential.

Ensure the adhesive is within its shelf life. Exposure to moisture is required for foaming; if surfaces are too dry, lightly mist one surface with water before application. Temperature may also affect foaming; ensure it's within the recommended range.

Check that surfaces were properly prepared (clean, free of dust/grease). Ensure adequate clamping pressure was applied during the setting time. Verify that the correct adhesive was used for the materials being bonded and that they were within the compatibility list.

Ensure the nozzle is properly opened or cut. If partially cured material is blocking the nozzle, attempt to clear it with a fine wire or replace the nozzle if possible.

Reduce the amount of adhesive applied. Ensure surfaces are not excessively damp unless intended. If foaming is a critical issue, consider a non-foaming adhesive alternative for ultra-precise applications.
