FRP Premium Column Adhesive

How To Use

• Read all FRP Premium column Adhesive Instructions before using. Use in well ventilated area only.



• Unpackage, position, and assemble column components following manufacturer's recommendations.



• For highest bond strength, wipe down mating column surfaces with acetone or naphtha to ensure complete removal of release agent/dust.



• Product can be used between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C). Cure time increases with lower temperatures.



• Clip nozzle tip and puncture cartridge inside nozzle. Cartridge gun required.



• Apply a continuous bead of adhesive to each surface to be joined and clamp column halves together following manufacturer's directions.
  
      While FRP Premium column Adhesive will bond properly with extended open time, it is best to proceed immediately from glue-up to assembly, whereby a generous amount of adhesive is forced out of the seam during assembly — which will later aid in the sanding/finishing process.



• Excessive adhesive squeeze-out (more than 1/4" bead) may be scraped or troweled-away prior to curing — being careful not to remove too much and cause additional joint-fairing during final finishing. Allow a minimum of 24 hours for adhesive curing. (Extend curing time to 72 hours in low temperature conditions.)



• Sand off squeeze-out with a vacuum-assisted (dustless) sander, 150 grit paper, and appropriate personal protective equipment. Some manufacturers recommend an overall column sanding in preparation for primer/paint using 80 to 100 grit paper which would also work for the finishing of the seam if a faring step (Bondo (auto body filler)) is to be used.
  
      In applications where columns will be painted directly (no filler step) it is advisable to utilize 120 to 150 grit paper for improved finished appearance (seam may still be evident after painting).



• Prime/paint column following manufacturer's instructions.

Curing

FRP Premium Column Adhesive will grab within 4 minutes and cures within 24 to 72 hours depending upon temperature and thickness. Lower temperatures prolong cure time. Higher temperatures accelerate cure time.

Cleanup

Clean uncured adhesive with acetone or naphtha sparingly. Cured material may be removed by sanding with a dustless sander.

Storage

Store unused FRP Premium Column Adhesive in a dry area at room temperature.
