    Business Information
    Shelf Life Details 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.;When stored at the recommended temperature in the original, unopened container this product has a shelf life of 15 months from date of shipment.

  • Best Practices for 3M 4693H

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      Surfaces must be dry and free of dust, dirt, grease, oil, mold release materials or other contaminants. For best results, temperature of adhesive should be at least 65°F (18°C).

    2. Application

      Porous Surface: Brush, spray or flow an even coat of adhesive to both surfaces. Very absorbent materials may require more than one coat. Bond while adhesive is tacky. Join surfaces with firm pressure.

      Non-Porous Surface: Brush spray or flow an even coat of adhesive to both surfaces. To achieve a satisfactory bond, adhesive must be force dried @ 180°F (82°C). Bond with firm pressure while warm.

    3. Clean-Up

      Excess adhesive may be removed with a solvent such as 3M™ Scotch-Weld Solvent No. 2.*

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