Instructions for use
Preparation
- Surfaces must be dry and free from grease and dust.
- Remove the required amount of adhesive from the can and mix with 2% catalyst on a clean surface for about 45 seconds, until a uniform mixture is formed. Do not mix adhesive in the can.
- Mix the required amount each time since the mixture will harden within 10 minutes.
Bonding
- Apply MARMOBOND on one surface only and assemble carefully, applying light pressure.
- Keep the joint supported until fully set (approx. 1 hour).
- Carefully remove any excess adhesive with a sharp knife before completely set.
Filling – repair
- Apply MARMOBOND with a putty knife pushing material gently to fill the gap.
- Finish surface with putty knife or spatula and remove any excess adhesive before completely cured.
It is advisable to perform a suitability test for each application.
REMARKS
- Do not apply MARMOBOND in very humid conditions or on hot or cold surfaces.
- Do not exceed the mixing ratio of 2% especially at high temperatures since this will accelerate curing.
- Place the caps correctly after use and close tight.
- MARMOBOND may be coloured using iron oxides. Make sure to mix iron oxides with adhesive – putty prior to the addition of the catalyst.
