Preparation
Work on a protected area as spills can damage sensitive surfaces, such as polished, cellulose surfaces and fabrics.
Make sure that the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and grease.
When bonding leather avoid spills onto the shiny side as a mark will be left.
Application
To bond non-absorbent surfaces such as metal or glass apply a thin film of adhesive to both surfaces. Allow 5 to 10 minutes drying time and then, having correctly positioned the surfaces, press them together firmly. The bond will be instant and non-adjustable.
