Adhesive FAQ
What surfaces can your adhesive bond effectively?
Our adhesive products are formulated to create strong bonds between various materials including metals (steel, aluminum), plastics (PVC, ABS), wood, ceramics, glass, and certain rubbers. The exact bonding capability depends on the specific adhesive product, with our Industrial X500 series offering the widest material compatibility.
How should I prepare surfaces before applying adhesive?
For optimal bonding with any adhesive, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, or loose particles. Roughen smooth surfaces with sandpaper (120-180 grit) to improve adhesion. Wipe surfaces with isopropyl alcohol for best results. Some metal surfaces may require special primers for maximum adhesive performance.
What's the shelf life of your adhesive products?
When stored properly in their original containers at room temperature (60-80°F), our adhesive products maintain full effectiveness for 12-18 months from manufacturing date. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. For two-part adhesive systems, the shelf life may vary between components, typically 6-12 months for the hardener component.
Application Guide
- Clean and prepare surfaces as described above
- Apply adhesive evenly to one or both surfaces depending on product instructions
- Join surfaces immediately (for fast-cure adhesives) or within specified open time
- Apply clamping pressure if required (refer to product specifications)
- Allow full cure time before subjecting bond to stress
Safety Precautions
- Use in well-ventilated areas
- Wear protective gloves and eye protection
- Avoid skin contact - wash immediately with soap and water if contact occurs
- Store away from heat sources and open flames
- Keep out of reach of children
More Adhesive Questions
Can your adhesive be painted over after curing?
Most of our adhesive products can accept paint applications after full cure (typically 24 hours). For best results, lightly sand the adhesive surface, clean with alcohol, and apply a primer designed for the specific paint system being used. Our Technical Support team can provide specific recommendations based on your paint type.
What's the difference between your industrial and consumer adhesive lines?
Our industrial adhesive products feature higher strength ratings, greater temperature resistance, and specialized formulations for demanding applications. Consumer-grade adhesives offer easier application and cleanup while maintaining good performance for household projects. Industrial adhesives typically require more stringent surface preparation and safety measures during application.
How do I remove excess adhesive or clean tools?
For uncured adhesive, use the recommended solvent (acetone for most products) immediately after application. Cured adhesive may require mechanical removal (scraping, sanding) or specialized adhesive removers. Always test cleaning methods on inconspicuous areas first. For tools, clean with appropriate solvent before adhesive cures.

Advanced Adhesive Questions
Can your adhesive withstand outdoor weather conditions?
Our weather-resistant adhesive formulations (X500, M400) are specifically engineered for outdoor use, offering excellent resistance to UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and moisture. These products maintain bond integrity through freeze-thaw cycles and can withstand continuous outdoor exposure for 5+ years in most climates when properly applied.
What's the maximum gap your adhesive can fill effectively?
Gap-filling capability varies by product. Our standard adhesives work best with tight fits (0.005"-0.010"). The X500 series can fill gaps up to 0.125", while our specialty gap-filling adhesive (GF100) handles spaces up to 0.25". For larger gaps, we recommend using adhesive in combination with mechanical fasteners or filler materials.
Do you offer high-temperature resistant adhesive options?
Yes, our H700 high-temperature adhesive series withstands continuous exposure up to 300°F (intermittent to 350°F), making it ideal for engine components, exhaust systems, and industrial equipment. These specially formulated adhesives maintain structural integrity and bonding strength under extreme thermal cycling conditions.
