Application Guidance
Apply adhesive evenly to clean, properly prepared wood surfaces using a roll coater, brush, roller, or similar application method. Typical application rate is approximately 6–9 wet mils or 240 sq ft per gallon. Assemble parts within the working time of approximately 5–7 minutes and apply appropriate pressure based on wood density. For cold press applications, maintain recommended pressure and allow sufficient press time before machining. For hot press applications, use elevated temperatures with short dwell times. Ensure materials and adhesive are above 55°F during application and avoid use below this temperature. Allow adequate cure time before further processing.
Typical Use Cases
- Exterior-grade wood panel lamination
- Furniture and cabinetry assembly
- RF bonding and hot press wood applications
- General woodworking requiring water-resistant bonds
Target Industries and Buyers
- Woodworking and millwork manufacturers
- Furniture and cabinet producers
- Panel and engineered wood manufacturers
- OEM wood product assembly operations
Performance Advantages
Compared to standard interior wood glues, this adhesive provides enhanced water resistance and broader process compatibility, including RF and hot press applications. Its pre-catalyzed crosslinking system supports reliable bond strength and durability in exterior or moisture-exposed environments while maintaining efficient production characteristics.
