Best Practices for Henkel Armstrong A-12 Epoxy Resin 3:2
-
Surface Preparation
The surfaces to be bonded should be clean and dry (for critical applications refer to our suggested surface preparation procedures - Bulletin No. 964)
-
Application
Apply the adhesive to surfaces to be bonded (preferably both surfaces) and press together. Light clamping may be used to keep parts in position during curing.
-
Mixing
Thoroughly mix the A-12 Part B with the A-12 part A in a clean discardable container using correct mix ratio. Avoid the introduction of excess air.
