Instructions for Use

1. Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and other contaminants.

2. Mixing: Accurately measure the resin and hardener at a 2:1 ratio by volume. Mix thoroughly until the consistency is uniform, and the color is consistent.

3. Application: Apply the mixed adhesive to one or both surfaces to be bonded. The thixotropic nature will keep the adhesive in place.

4. Curing: Clamp or fixture the components securely to prevent shifting. Cure the assembly in a controlled environment above 170°F (77°C). Refer to the technical datasheet for specific cure schedules and resulting physical properties.

5. Storage: Store in a dry place in the original, sealed containers at temperatures between 36°F and 104°F (2°C and 40°C). Avoid direct sunlight.
