User Manual

1. Product Overview

The Wilsonart 700A Premium Aerosol Contact Adhesive is a high-strength, multi-purpose spray adhesive designed for a wide range of bonding applications. Its portable and convenient aerosol format allows for fast and strong adhesion. This formulation is particularly effective for bonding high-pressure decorative laminate (HPL), leather, foam, paper, metals, and wood veneer to various substrates such as wood, plywood, particle board, or cardboard.

The adhesive is engineered to remain tacky to the touch when dry, ensuring a strong initial grab upon contact. It features an adjustable nozzle with multiple flow settings, enabling precise application for different project requirements.

4. Setup and Preparation

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and other contaminants. Roughen smooth surfaces slightly for better adhesion.
2. Environmental Conditions: For optimal results, apply adhesive in a room temperature environment (typically 65°F - 85°F / 18°C - 30°C) with moderate humidity. Avoid extreme temperatures or high humidity, which can affect drying and bonding performance.
3. Ventilation: Ensure the work area is well-ventilated to disperse fumes. Open windows and doors, or use exhaust fans.
4. Shake Can: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least 60 seconds before use and occasionally during use to ensure proper mixing of contents.
5. Test Spray: Before applying to your project, test the spray pattern and flow setting on a scrap piece of material to familiarize yourself with the nozzle's performance.

5. Operating and Application Instructions

1. Adjust Nozzle: The can features an adjustable nozzle. Rotate the nozzle to select the desired spray pattern (e.g., narrow, medium, wide) and flow setting for your specific application.
2. Apply Adhesive: Hold the can upright, approximately 6-10 inches (15-25 cm) from the surface. Apply a uniform, even coat of adhesive to both surfaces to be bonded. Ensure complete coverage, especially near edges. Avoid oversaturation.
3. Drying Time (Open Time): Allow the adhesive to dry until it is tacky to the touch, typically 2-5 minutes depending on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. The adhesive should not transfer to your knuckle when touched.
4. Bonding: Once both surfaces are tacky, carefully align them and press firmly together. Contact adhesives bond immediately upon contact, so accurate alignment is crucial.
5. Pressure Application: Apply firm, uniform pressure over the entire bonded area using a roller or J-roller. Work from the center outwards to eliminate air bubbles and ensure maximum contact.
6. Curing: The bond will achieve handling strength quickly, but full cure typically occurs within 24 hours. Avoid stressing the bond during the initial curing period.

6. Maintenance and Storage

• Nozzle Cleaning: After each use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant comes out. This prevents the nozzle from clogging. If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and clean with mineral spirits or a suitable solvent. Replace the nozzle before next use.
• Storage: Store the aerosol can in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 120°F (49°C). Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Shelf Life: For best performance, use the product within its recommended shelf life, typically indicated on the can.
