APPLICATION NOTES
As with all adhesives, performance depends on conditions of use. Suggestions
or recommendations contained herein are for guidance only, since actual
conditions of use are outside the supplier‟s control.
Ensure that the surfaces to be bonded are dry, free from dust, grease, and
loose particles.
Apply adhesive to one surface only. Bring the two surfaces together
immediately, quickly making any further adjustments. Hold the joint for 20 - 30
seconds to complete the bond.
When gluing dissimilar materials, apply the adhesive to the least heat
conductive of the two.
On materials that are cold to the touch, a better bond can be made by pre-
warming them before applying adhesive.
Surplus adhesive can be trimmed using a sharp knife once it has cooled.
Should molten adhesive drip onto a smooth or polished surface, allow it to cool
completely before removal.
Spots or blobs of adhesive are recommended for workpieces having a large
surface area, or which are particularly long.
Applying the adhesive in wavy lines is recommended for gluing textiles or
similar materials.
Foam materials, like polystyrene, can be easily bonded to other surfaces.
However the adhesive must be applied to the other surfaces, not to the foam.
Use only genuine
TEC-BOND
®
adhesive sticks to ensure reliable performance.
TEC-BOND
®
adhesive sticks are non-toxic and non-flammable.
