Araldite Super Strength

To use Selleys Araldite Tubes:

1. Clean and dry surfaces.
2. Pierce each tube with spike found in top of its own cap
3. Dispense equal parts of both liquids onto a clean disposable surface and mix both parts together thoroughly. Leave for 5-10 minutes and mix again before applying. The mixed glue will remain usable for 1 hours at 20°C.
4. Apply mixed glue to both surfaces of job – then bring together.
5. Do not apply undue strain to bond for 6-8 hours. Hold join in place using tapes or weights if necessary. Maximum strength reached after 24-72 hours.
6. Place cap from plunger on nozzle for storage. Clean up uncured Araldite with acetone (nail polish remover).

To use Selleys Araldite Syringe nozzles:

1. Clean and dry surfaces.
2. Snap out cap from plunger and carefully cut the sealed tips at the end of the syringe tip.
3. Dispense equal parts of both liquids onto a clean disposable surface and mix both parts together thoroughly. Leave for 5-10 minutes and mix again before applying. The mixed glue will remain usable for 1 hours at 20°C.
4. Apply mixed glue to both surfaces of job – then bring together.
5. Do not apply undue strain to bond for 6-8 hours. Hold join in place using tapes or weights if necessary. Maximum strength reached after 24-72 hours.
6. Place cap from plunger on nozzle for storage. Clean up uncured Araldite with acetone (nail polish remover).

Limitations:

• *Not suitable for bonding plastics such as Polypropylene and Polyethylene

• For maximum working time, mix in small quantities. Large quantities accelerate the curing process and reduce working time.
• To extend product life replace caps immediately after use. Ensure you wipe excess from nozzle with a tissue dipped in acetone (or nail polish remover) before replacing cap.
• When using the tube variant, ensure you replace the correct cap on the correct tube. Placing the wrong cap on the wrong tube will cause the tube to harden. Caps and tubes are colour coded to help.
• To remove product after cure, mechanical action (scraping or sanding) is recommended. Since the product is chemically resistant solvent will NOT dissolve this product.
• Allow for longer bonding times in colder weather.
• Bond strength will soften above 80°C but strength is retained when temperature returns to normal.
• To reposition the bond once cured, check that the item is heat resistant. If safe, heat the item slowly, e.g. in an oven, to at least 150°C. The product will soften and liquify slightly. Scrape off any excess then reposition the joint carefully using appropriate safety equipment. Allow the item to cool down in the correct position. The product will reharden once returned to room temperature.
• Clamping recommended for a stronger bond.

• Uncured product may be removed with acetone.
• Cured product can be softened with heat to make scraping easier.
