3. Setup

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, grease, or any other contaminants.
2. Shake Can: Shake the can thoroughly for at least 10-15 seconds before each use to ensure proper mixing of contents.
3. Protect Area: Protect surrounding areas from overspray using drop cloths or newspaper.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Application Distance: Hold the can upright, approximately 6 to 8 inches (15-20 cm) from the surface.
2. Apply Uniform Coat: Apply a uniform, even coat of adhesive. For best results, apply to both surfaces to be bonded.
3. Bonding Types:
   • Temporary Bonds / Repositionable: Apply a light coat to one surface. Join the surfaces within 15 seconds. This allows for repositioning for up to 15 minutes.
   • Permanent Bonds: Apply a medium coat to both surfaces. Allow the adhesive to become tacky (typically 10-15 seconds) before joining. Press surfaces firmly together.
4. Drying Time: The adhesive forms a secure bond within 15 seconds. Full cure time may vary depending on environmental conditions and material porosity.
5. Pressure Application: For optimal bond strength, apply firm, even pressure across the entire bonded area.

5. Maintenance

• Preventing Clogs: To prevent the nozzle from clogging, invert the can immediately after use and spray a short burst until clear propellant appears.
• Cleaning Clogged Nozzle: If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and clean with mineral spirits or a suitable solvent. Alternatively, replace the nozzle with a new one.
• Storage: Store the adhesive in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Keep the cap securely on the can when not in use.

6. Troubleshooting

• Poor Adhesion:
  • Ensure surfaces are thoroughly clean and dry before application.
  • Apply a sufficient and even coat of adhesive.
  • For permanent bonds, allow adequate tack time (10-15 seconds) before joining.
  • Apply firm, even pressure across the entire bonded area.
• Clogged Nozzle:
  • Clean the nozzle immediately after each use by inverting the can and spraying until clear propellant is visible.
  • If already clogged, remove the nozzle and soak it in mineral spirits or a suitable solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching.
• Uneven Spray Pattern:
  • Shake the can vigorously before and during use to ensure proper mixing.
  • Check the nozzle for any blockages and clean if necessary.
