3M 1300L

Surface Preparation

Remove all dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax, loose paint, etc. Wiping with a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)* will aid in preparing the surface for bonding.

Application

For best results the temperature of the adhesive and surfaces to be bonded should be at least 65°F (18°C). If stored below 30°F (-1°C), allow adhesive to warm to room temperature by placing in a warm room only (do not exceed 120°F [49°C]) followed by thorough agitation.

Stir well before using. Brush, flow or spray a thin, uniform coating of adhesive to each surface. A coating of 2.5 gms to 3.5 gms/ft.2 dry weight per surface is recommended. Porous surfaces may require more than one coat. A uniform, glossy film indicates sufficient adhesive.

Curing

Allow adhesive to dry until no longer wet (maximum dry time about 4 minutes).

Once dry, these adhesives have a short bonding range (up to 8 to 12 minutes).

Position surfaces carefully before assembly. Bonding is immediate upon contact. Apply sufficient pressure to ensure good contact between coated surfaces. Bonded parts may be handled immediately.

Clean-Up

Use a solvent such as 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Solvent No. 2* or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)* to clean brushes immediately after use. Excess adhesive may be removed from other surfaces with 3M™ Citrus Base Cleaner* or equivalent.

*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and follow manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
