Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preparation
-
Clean the Surfaces:
- Ensure the surfaces you are bonding are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or any other contaminants. Use a brush or cloth to clean the surfaces if necessary.
-
Protect Your Hands:
- Wear gloves to avoid skin contact with the epoxy putty, as it can be irritating to some people.
2. Mixing the Epoxy Putty
-
Measure Equal Parts:
- Measure equal amounts of Part A and Part B. Each part should be 50% of the total mixture you intend to use. For example, if you need 10 grams of putty, take 5 grams of Part A and 5 grams of Part B.
-
Knead the Putty:
- Combine the measured amounts of Part A and Part B.
- Knead them together thoroughly until the mixture is uniform in color. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. There should be no streaks of either part.
3. Application
-
Apply the Mixture:
- Apply the mixed putty to the surfaces you wish to bond. Press firmly to ensure good contact and adhesion.
-
Shape and Adjust:
- Shape and adjust the putty as needed within the first few minutes of application. You have a working time of about 20-30 minutes before the putty begins to harden.
-
Smooth the Surface:
- Use a wet finger or a tool to smooth out the putty and remove any excess. This will help achieve a neat and professional finish.
4. Curing
-
Allow to Cure:
- Allow the ScapeBond to cure undisturbed. Initial curing will take about 2 hours, but full strength will be reached in 24 hours.
-
Check the Bond:
- After the curing period, check the bond to ensure it is solid and secure before applying any load or pressure.
5. Cleanup
-
Clean Tools and Hands:
- Clean any tools and your hands with soap and water immediately after use, before the epoxy putty hardens.
