5) Apply
large
bead
of
Plexus
adhesive to the hull structure as
shown in the figure to the right.
Apply approximately ½ to
2
/
3rds
cartridges at each of the four
locations.
Work deliberate and fast
as it takes some time to apply the
adhesive to the structure. MA590
has a 90 minute working time at
room temperature (23°C / 73°F).
This working time can reduce to
40-50
minutes
at
elevated
temperatures.
Two workers should
apply the adhesive at the same
time to finish the installation before
the adhesive starts to cure.
6) Lower fixture and saddles over the
hull structure and apply light
downward pressure to each of the
four saddles until the two nylon
screws rest on the hull structure
(SEE FIG. 7). The adhesive will be
forced towards the forward and aft
ends of each saddle and partially
down the sides of the foundation
beams.
7) Insert full adhesive cartridge along
with
mixing
wand
/
nozzle
assembled in step 3 above into
gun.
8) Begin to inject adhesive into the six
holes provided on each side of
each of the four saddles. Follow the
numbered sequence shown until
the adhesive pushes out the edges
of the saddle perimeter. The intent
is to pump in the adhesive working
from the top down and from the
middle to the ends to fill the gaps
and displace any air.
A complete bond is required
– excess adhesive will be needed to make sure all bond gaps are filled.
