3. Setup and Preparation
- Ensure all surfaces to be bonded are clean and free of dirt, grease, and oil.
- For optimal performance, use the adhesive between 50°F and 90°F (10°C and 32°C).
4. Operating Instructions
Application Steps:
- Apply adhesive to each surface that will be bonded.
- For maximum bond strength, allow approximately two minutes for the adhesive to partially dry before joining the surfaces. This allows for a 'fast grab' that holds in seconds.
- Press the surfaces firmly together.
Cure Time:
Allow a minimum of 24 hours for full cure. Cure time may increase with lower temperatures and when used on non-porous surfaces.

5. Maintenance and Cleanup
Storage:
After each use, wipe the nozzle with a dry cloth and tightly replace the cap. Store the adhesive in a cool, dry location. To facilitate easier re-opening, apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the threads before replacing the cap.
Cleanup:
- Uncured Adhesive: Wipe uncured adhesive with a dry cloth and clean with acetone, isopropyl alcohol, or citrus-based solvents according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Cured Adhesive: Cured adhesive may be removed by scraping from the surface.
Paintability:
The adhesive is paintable once fully cured. It can be painted with water and oil-based paints, including spray paint.
Note: Not recommended for use on polystyrene, polypropylene, or polyethylene products. Do not use on food contact surfaces. Do not dry clean. May cause damage to finished surfaces.

6. Troubleshooting
If the adhesive does not bond effectively, consider the following:
- Ensure surfaces were clean and dry before application.
- Verify that the adhesive was applied within the recommended temperature range (50°F to 90°F).
- Confirm that sufficient pressure was applied to the bonded surfaces.
- Allow adequate cure time (minimum 24 hours) for full bond strength, especially on non-porous surfaces or in cooler temperatures.
