    Shelf Life Details Storage: Store product at 60-80°F (16-27°C) for maximum storage life. Higher temperatures can reduce normal storage life. Lower temperatures can cause increased viscosity of a temporary nature. Rotate stock on a “first in-first out” basis.;Shelf Life: When stored at the recommended conditions in the original, unopened container, 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Neoprene High Performance Contact Adhesive 1357 and 1357-L have a shelf life of 15 months.

  • Best Practices for 3M 1357

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

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

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

    2. Application

      When bonding wood veneers, success is dependent on many variables such as environmental conditions, bonding process, type of base material, type of veneer, adhesive type and top coat finishing systems to name a few. It is the user’s responsibility to thoroughly test any adhesive for its suitability in bonding wood veneers. It is also recommended to follow the veneer manufacturers recommendation and industry guidelines.

      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), warm-up to room temperature in a warm room only (do not exceed 120°F (49°C) followed by thorough agitation).

      Stir or agitate well before using for optimum results. Apply 2.5 gms to 3.5 gms/ft.2 dry weight to each surface. Unusually porous surfaces will require more adhesive.

      Assembly: Spacers, such as dowels or strips of laminate, may be used to help prevent premature adhesive/adhesive contact and bonding prior to positioning. Slide out of the spacers and apply uniform pressure, working toward the edges. A 3 in. roller used with maximum body pressure should be used to help ensure adequate contact and bonding, especially on edges. The use of a pinch roll is preferred for optimum performance. Bonded assemblies may be machined, trimmed, etc. immediately after bonding.

    3. Curing

      The adhesive dries in about 10 minutes. High humidity will slow drying-high temperatures speed the drying. This adhesive has a bonding range of approximately 30 minutes when applied to both bond surfaces under conditions of 70°F (21°C) and 35% R.H. If the adhesive becomes too dry, apply another thin coat of adhesive to one surface, allow to become slightly tacky, and bond.

      Relative humidity above 50% can cause blushing (condensation of moisture on surface) and a false bond. To avoid this, we recommend a force drying temperature of 180-220°F (82-104°C). Force drying will also help remove the solvent more rapidly.

    4. Clean-Up

      Adhesive residue of 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Neoprene High Performance Contact Adhesive 1357 and 1357-L may be removed from exposed surfaces with solvents such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), or 3M™ Citrus Base Industrial Cleaner.* For flushing fluid lines use MEK.

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