How to Use Pidilite Bulbond for Effective Bonding
For best results, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from oil or grease:
- Preparation: Ensure the wood surfaces are accurately cut and fit well. Lightly sand porous surfaces with sandpaper to remove dust.
- Application: Apply a uniform, thin coat of Pidilite Bulbond to both bonding surfaces using a spreader or brush. Apply sufficient adhesive to ensure squeeze-out upon clamping.
- Assembly: Bring the surfaces together within 5-10 minutes (open time).
- Clamping: Clamp the assembled joint firmly for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight). Clamping pressure is crucial for maximum bond strength.
- Curing: Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to achieve full strength before applying stress or machining.
