Preparing The Glue Cartridge

The working temperature of glue cartridge must be at least 20°C.

Opened glue cartridges may be used again before the expiry date as long as a new mixing tube is used.

Insert glue cartridge into cartridge gun, remove cap and allow both adhesive components to emerge. Strip adhesive components uniformly and attach mixing tube. Only use mixing tubes supplied with glue cartridge.

Before starting to apply adhesive, allow approx. 1 mixing tube length of mixed adhesive to emerge. Only then apply the mixed adhesive to one side of the bonding surface.

Pot life of adhesive is approx. 60 minutes at 23°C.
