Flagship TrimLok UV3206 LV Ultra-Low Viscosity UV Adhesive 2 oz, 8 oz, 1 L  |  SKU: CCA-TLUV3206LV Wicks into tight seams by capillary action, no squeeze-out on the face Cures in 5 to 20 seconds under 365 to 395nm UV light, no clamping Optically clear, 100% solids, no yellowing behind LEDs One-step bond and seal on trim cap channel letters Instant fixture on trimless letters, then reinforce with UL607

Structural Seam UltraLok UL607 Clear Structural Adhesive 50 ml and 500 ml cartridges, dispense-gun ready Applied along the rear seam of trimless letters 1,050 to 1,450 psi overlap shear, substrate failure on every pair tested Holds strength from -55°F to 250°F Excellent humidity, water, and UV resistance Easy 10:1 mix through a static mixer

Short version: trim cap letters need UV3206 LV only, since it bonds and seals in a single pass. Trimless letters need both, UV3206 LV to fixture the joint in seconds and UL607 to build the structural rear seam. The Trimless Letter Kit bundles both with the dispenser and nozzles.

UL607 Overlap Shear Strength (ASTM D1002)

Every substrate pair tested failed in the substrate, not the bond line.

Data from the UL607 technical data sheet. Confirm against the current TDS for your application.

The light decides your cure speed as much as the adhesive does. Stronger, higher-quality UV output cures more adhesive, faster, over a wider area. A cheaper light means smaller sections and more passes for the same cure. Stay in the 365 to 395nm range, and 395nm is the sweet spot for this adhesive.

Shop tip: if cure speed feels slow or inconsistent, check your UV light output and wavelength before you change the adhesive or the process.

Every kit pairs UV3206 LV with the right UV light and safety glasses, so a shop can open the box and start bonding. Kits ladder from a low-volume trial up to full production.

All kits include UV safety glasses. The Trimless Letter Kit is the only one with UL607 and the dispensing hardware, since trim cap letters do not need a second adhesive.

Each of the three traditional options gives something up once the letter goes outside and gets lit.

TrimLok replaces all three. Structural strength on aluminum, polycarbonate, and acrylic. Optically clear, so the bond line stays invisible behind a lit face.

What is the best adhesive for bonding trim cap to a channel letter face?

UV3206 LV bonds and seals polycarbonate and PVC trim cap to acrylic and polycarbonate faces in a single pass. It wicks into the seam by capillary action and cures in 5 to 20 seconds under a 365 to 395nm UV light, so there is no clamping and no second adhesive.

Why will solvent cement not bond polycarbonate trim cap?

Solvent cements work by softening and fusing the plastic, and polycarbonate does not respond the way acrylic does. Reformulated blends also bond weaker and slower than older versions, and they can craze acrylic and cure inconsistently. UV3206 LV bonds both substrates without relying on solvent attack.

What adhesive works for trimless channel letters?

Trimless letters use two products. UV3206 LV wicks into the near butt joint between the acrylic face and the aluminum return and fixtures it in seconds. UL607 is then applied along the rear seam. On acrylic to aluminum it tested at 1,050 psi overlap shear with substrate failure, meaning the acrylic gave out before the bond line did.

Does TrimLok work with SDS Automation trimless letters?

Yes. TrimLok is used on trimless letters built on SDS Automation ChannelBender machines with Trimless LetterForm coil, where the acrylic face is grooved around the perimeter and the return seats into the groove. The very small bonding area and near butt joint are exactly what UV3206 LV is formulated to wick into.

What UV wavelength does UV3206 LV need?

Stay in the 365 to 395nm range. 395nm is the sweet spot for this adhesive. Higher-quality UV output cures more adhesive, faster, over a wider area. A weaker light means smaller sections and more passes for the same cure.

Will the bond line show through an illuminated face?

No. UV3206 LV is 100% solids and cures optically clear, so there is no solvent haze, no shrinkage, and no yellowing behind LEDs. That is the difference from cyanoacrylates, which yellow over time and show through a lit face.

How does UL607 mix and dispense?

10:1 by volume through a static mixer. Working time is 6 to 9 minutes, handling time is 14 to 18 minutes, and it fully cures in 24 hours. At 77 F it sets in 2 to 3 hours. Heating to 120 to 140 F for 15 minutes accelerates the cure. Below 55 F the cure slows down.

Can UV3206 LV replace what my shop is running now?

TrimLok is often considered when shops are evaluating solvent cements, cyanoacrylates, or two-part urethanes for channel letter work. Verify performance against your own substrates, seam geometry, and exposure conditions before switching a production process. Our adhesive specialists can help you set up a trial.
