Best Practices for 3M 4693H
-
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).
-
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.
-
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.
