Best Practices for Henkel Armstrong A-42

*See Terms of Use Below
1. Surface Preparation
  
  Surface to be bonded should be clean and dry.
2. Application
  
  The material should be spread thinly and evenly. Glue lines as thick as .101" will provide good strength but the general rule is--- the thinner the better. The important thing is that the surfaces being bonded are thoroughly "welted out" with the resin system. Once applied, the joints being bonded should be assembled immediately, under no circumstances would this open assembly times exceed 30 minutes. No pressure is required other than that necessary to hold to assembly in position until the resin cures.
3. Mixing
  
  The Part A and Part B must be thoroughly mixed before the system is ready for use.
4. Curing
  
  Lower and higher temperatures can be employed but the working life will be reduced as the temperature is increased and the working life will be extended as the temperature decreases. At lower temperatures, the material is quiet vouches and not as easy to mix.
5. Curing
  
  Either mixture may be cured for 24 hours @ 77°F. Curing can be accelerated by heating for 1 - 2 hours at 165°F.
6. Clean-Up
  
  Then uncured material may be removed from mixing utensils etc. with solvent such as Methyl Ethyl ketone (MEK) and/or Cellosolve or equivalent.
