  • Best Practices for 3M 3524

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      A clean dry grease free surface is essential for maximum performance.

      When using solvents for cleanup, follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use for handling such materials.

    2. Application

      Scotch-Weld EC-3524 B/A compound may be applied by spatula or trowel. Apply by working the material in place to reduce internal voids, and allow to set for two hours before finishing the surface. Large masses of material should be avoided until user performs suitable tests to determine the possibility of an exothermic reaction.

      Scotch-Weld EC-3524 B/A compound will stick to rubber gloves. Cover rubber gloves with lint free cotton gloves for best handling.

    3. Mixing

      3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Void Filling and Edge Sealing Compound EC-3524 B/A or Off-White B/A may be mixed by hand or machine until a uniform color is obtained. Do not mix any more than can be used within the work life of the material. Work life of 200g of Scotch-Weld EC-3524 B/A is approximately 1.5 hours. Work life of larger quantities will be shorter. For industrial mixing applications, use a mixer that will not crush the glass microspheres contained in the compound.
