E6000 Clear Adhesive

Description

WHY USE E6000?

• Dries clear & permanent but won’t bond your skin
• Non-flammable when cured
• Very flexible
• Vibration-resistant suitable for high-wear locations
• Chemical-resistant to dilute acids and dilute caustics
• Waterproof and can be submerged in fresh/salt water
• Paintable to match the surrounding area
• Won’t become brittle in cold weather or over time

HOW LONG DOES TUBE E6000 TAKE TO DRY?
Regular E6000 starts to get tacky in 2 minutes and begins setting in 10 minutes. It’s usually touch dry in a few hours but takes 24-72 hours to fully cure and reach maximum strength.

DOES E6000 WORK ON ALL SURFACES?
It works on most surfaces, but certainly not all. Regular E6000 is no good for styrofoam or styrene plastics, however Spray E6000 does work on those. It’s great on most surfaces from metals to wood, plastics, glass, painted surfaces, rock, concrete and many more. Be sure to clean away any dirt, loose debris, oils and flaking paints, and where possible, abrade the surface to give extra tooth. We always recommend testing it first, as with any chemical products you may use, to ensure there are no random surface or chemical incompatibilities.

Tube E6000 Directions for Use:
Store container tightly closed. Read directions before use.
ALWAYS USE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT DELIBERATELY INHALE CONTENTS.
1. Surface should be clean, dry and free from dirt. For best results, lightly roughen the surface before use.
2. Puncture the tube seal using the point in the cap. Ideal application temperature range is 10 to 32°C. However, fully cured adhesive can withstand temperatures from -40 to 82°C intermittently.
3. Apply directly to surfaces to be bonded or repaired.
4. Allow 24 hours to cure. Depending on the materials and temperature, maximum strength may not be reached for 48-72 hours.
5. For future easy cap removal, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the tube thread before replacing the cap.
6. Clean uncured adhesive with acetone or citrus-based solvents. Cured adhesive may be removed by cutting or scraping.

PAPER, PHOTOS, CARDBOARD & FOIL: Spray a thin coat to one surface. Join surfaces. Apply pressure periodically, ensuring secure contact. Dry 1-3 minutes.
POROUS MATERIALS (including foams and Styrofoam): Spray a heavy coat to both surfaces to be joined. Mate surfaces together. Allow to dry. Maximum strength usually achieved in 1-5 hours. Up to 12 hours for Styrofoam.
NON-POROUS MATERIALS: Spray a light coat to one surface. Mate surfaces together. Allow to dry.
IMPORTANT – CLEAN NOZZLE AFTER EACH USE: To prevent clogging, remove and rinse nozzle/straw. Pump warm tap water through sprayer until all adhesive is cleared out. Then dry, replace in the bottle, secure cap.
