Best Practices for 3M Marine Adhesive/Sealant Fast Cure 5200
-
Surface Preparation
There are waxes, coatings, sealants, grease, oil and other contaminants used in the marine industry, making it very important to clean all surfaces to be bonded before applying 3MTM Marine Adhesive/ Sealant Fast Cure 5200. Recommended procedures include cleaning with 3MTM General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, P. N. 08984.
Alcohol should not be used in preparation for bonding as it will stop the curing process.
-
Application
Abrading the surfaces with a 180 grit to 220 grit abrasive will enhance the bond strength. Cut tip to desired bead size, puncture seal in nozzle and remove the seal at bottom end of cartridge. Place cartridge in a caulk gun. Apply Fast Cure 5200 to the seam or part to be bonded. Position parts. Tool material to desired appearance. Remove excess with 3MTM General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner*, P. N. 08984.
-
Clean-Up
For cleaning Fast Cure 5200 before it is cured, use a dry cloth to remove the majority of sealant, followed by a cloth damp with General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner*, P. N. 08984, toluene or acetone. Cured Fast Cure 5200 can be removed mechanically with a knife, razor blade or sanding.
