  • Best Practices for 3M 08663 Super Silicone Adhesive/Sealants

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      Thoroughly clean surfaces to be bonded. Rubber surfaces should be abraded and wiped clean.

    2. Application

      Apply silicone to area that is to be sealed or bonded. The paste-like consistency makes it easy to tool with a spatula or wooden paddle.

    3. Curing

      Super Silicones cure from the outside in. At conditions of 75°F and 50% RH, they form a tack free skin within 20 minutes. Tooling is not practical after the skin begins forming. Cure time is affected by humidity, degree of confinement, and thickness of the adhesive/sealant bead. Lower humidity and/or temperature will extend the cure time. Higher humidity and/or temperature will reduce the cure time. In applications where the adhesive/sealant is confined during cure, the time required for proper cure is generally lengthened.
