1. Certain resins and hardeners are prone to crystallization. If mPas = cP
crystallization does occur, warm the contents of the shipping
container to 50 to 60C until all crystals have dissolved. Shipping
container must be loosely covered during the warming stage to
prevent any pressure build-up.
2. Allow contents to cool to room temperature before continuing.
3. Complete cleaning of the substrates should be performed to
remove contamination such as oxide layers, dust, moisture, salt
and oils which can cause poor adhesion or corrosion in a bonded
part.
4. Some separation of components is common during shipping and
storage. For this reason, it is recommended that the contents of
the shipping container be thoroughly mixed prior to use.
5. Power mixing is preferred to ensure a homogeneous product.
6. Accurately weigh resin and hardener into a clean container in the
recommended ratio. Weighing apparatus having an accuracy in
proportion to the amounts being weighed should be used.
7. Blend components by hand, using a kneading motion, for 2 to 3
minutes and scrape the bottom and sides of the mixing container
frequently to produce a uniform mixture.
8. If possible, power mix for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid high
