Instructions
Use a static mixer nozzle to accurately mix the contents of the 1:1 cartridge. Each cartridge includes one Static Mixer Nozzle Green 1:1, and you can purchase more in 10 packs from our store.
You will also require a 1:1 Static Mixing Dispenser to push the contents through the static mixer. This is the best way to apply it and get accurate, dependable results every time.
Parts to be joined should fit without forcing and be clean, it is recommended to use Acri-Bond Cleaner prior to applying any product to remove any dust and dirt. It is important to let out any air bubbles by dispensing the first part of the cartridge onto some paper until the bubbles are gone. Apply adhesive directly from the static mixer or with a syringe and either 0.8mm or 1.4mm Blunt Needles and assemble while parts are still wet.
If any bubbles arise use a small toothpick or metal pick to pop them before moving to the next step, although most bubbles will disappear when the chemical reaction is complete. Press parts together in firm contact and use a clamp to secure while the glue goes off. Acri-Bond 205 will achieve a working strength within 15min and full cure strength within 24 hours. You have approximately 3-4 minutes to work with the glue before it starts to set off.
Please check the TDS for material suitability and strength of each bond. For a tutorial how to use please refer to our YouTube Chanel or in the Videos tab above.
