Processing
Clean the surface to be bonded and degrease thoroughly. Mix the components in the correct ratio and stir well with the supplied spatula. Scrape the bottom and sides of the cup while stirring. Pour the mixture into a new cup and mix again. The adhesive is now ready to use. Apply the adhesive with a brush to the bonding surfaces and press the parts together. Make sure they remain fixed in position for at least 16 hours for proper curing.
To considerably reduce the curing time, the adhesive can be heated to approximately 40°C.
