  • Best Practices for Big Dog Adhesives BD406

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Application

      To assure maximum bond strength, surfaces must be mated together within the specified working time, and all clamps affixed within that time. Use sufficient material to ensure that the joint is completely filled when parts are mated and clamped. Avoid over clamping parts, which may cause a dry joint or a joint starved of adhesive. All adhesive application, part positioning, fixturing, and clamping should occur before the working time of the adhesive has expired. After the indicated working time, parts must remain undisturbed until the fixture time is completed. Components bonded, adhesive, and shop temperature can have a significant effect on the work and fixture time of the adhesive. Application of BD406 adhesive at temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C and 30°C) will ensure proper cure.

    2. Curing

      A working time of 6 minutes and achieves nearly 90 percent of its ultimate strength in 15 minutes at room temperature curing.

      Temperatures below 65°F (18°C) will slow cure and fixture speed. BD406 adhesives will still react, but will take longer. Temperatures above 85°F (18°C and 30°C) will increase cure and fixture speeds, and there’s a risk that the adhesive will be hardened or too thick to bond materials. The viscosities of BD406 adhesives are affected by temperature.
