Q: Can we use it for external use?

Q: Can I mix different UV adhesives?
A: No, This will hinder the characteristics of the adhesive and will result in     negativity of the bond.

Q: How do I remove excess adhesive?
A: If the excess adhesive is still wet, just wipe it off with a clean, lint-free     paper towel and some glass cleaner (Iso-propanol or similar), and check     that you have removed all excess glue before carrying on. If the excess     adhesive has already cured and is hard, you will have to use a glass     scraper. Make sure you do not scratch the glass surface!

Q: Do I have to apply a lot of adhesive?
A: No. Evenly spread the adhesive on the surface you want to bond. However,     after having worked 3 or 4 times with the UV bonding technology, you will     have the right idea for the correct quantity.

Q: Can I fill in gaps of irregular glass with it?
A: Now. However you can cover the gap with another piece of glass, metal or     wood.

Q: Can I disassemble the object if I make a mistake?
A: Yes. The bond can only be broken at a temperature of 133°C.

.....Back to index

Q: Can I build aquariums with the adhesive?
A: No. We recommend using our laminated glass for extra security and for     bonding we recommend the use of silicon. As the adhesive is not water     proof.

.....Back to index

Q: How do I apply the adhesive?
A: Please download our Application Method sheet to get details on how to     prepare and apply the glue. For more information please contact us.

A: If the bottle is stored properly in a cool, dark and dry place the shelf life is     12 months. Once the bottle is opened the life of the adhesive is 6 months.

Q: How do I know that I have reached final bond strength?
A: See curing times and our Application Method Sheet.

.....Back to index

Q: How strong is the adhesive?
A: Considering all the step of the bonding process has been carried out     correctly the bond will be stronger than the glass itself.

.....Back to index

Q: Will the adhesive lose strength when it gets older?
A: No, if all steps of the bonding process have been carried out correctly.
