Product Overview

How To Use
Prepare the surface: Ensure the area to be bonded is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris.
Mix the resin: Our epoxy polyester resins require mixing Part A and B in a designated ratio.
Apply the resin: Apply the mixed resin to one of the surfaces being bonded.
Join and hold: Carefully position the pieces together and apply pressure, e.g. using clamps, to ensure a secure bond. The curing time for our resin is quite short. Some installers simply use masking tape to hold a 90° joint together while curing.
Clean Up: While the resin is still wet, remove any excess with solvents recommended by the manufacturer.
Application
Before using the glue, check that the surface is dry, clean and free of dust.
Use a spatula to take the required amount of glue from the can and add 3% of the liquid hardener (about 120 drops per 100 grams of the product).
Be careful not to add liquid hardener inside the glue can.
Mix well and use the product. Do not put the unused glue back into the can.
To colour the glue use Uni Colorant Paste, add the colour to the glue, max 3%, first and then add the liquid hardener.
