Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or rust. Lightly roughening smooth surfaces with sandpaper can improve adhesion.
- Measure and mix equal amounts (by volume) of the resin and hardener on a clean, disposable surface.
- Stir thoroughly for 1-2 minutes until a uniform grey color is achieved. Do not mix more than you can use within the working time.
- Apply the mixed epoxy to one or both surfaces, depending on the application.
- Join the parts together and hold them in place with clamps or tape until the initial set (4-6 hours). Allow 24 hours for a full cure.
Compatibility:
This epoxy is ideal for bonding to most rigid surfaces, including steel, iron, aluminum, carbon steel, brass, concrete, ceramic, and many rigid plastics. It is not recommended for use on flexible materials or polyethylene/Teflon. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care:
Store unused epoxy in its original, tightly sealed tubes in a cool, dry place. Once mixed, there is no storage; use immediately. Clean tools and any excess uncured epoxy with denatured alcohol or acetone before it hardens.
