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 work pieces 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 Loctite
®
Hysol
®
adhesive sticks to ensure reliable performance. Loctite

Hysol

adhesive sticks are non-toxic and non-flammable.
REPLACING THE NOZZLE
Only replace the nozzle while the tool is still warm. Disconnect the tool from the power supply
before proceeding, and always use protective gloves.
Remove the rubber safety cover from the nozzle. Unscrew the nozzle from the tool using a 1/2"
(13mm) spanner. Fit the replacement nozzle, ensuring that it is securely tightened. Replace the
rubber safety cover.
