Application

  • Application temperature range: 5°C to 35°C.
  • Service temperature range: -40°C to 90°C.
  • On mirror applications, apply in vertical strips (not suitable for PP backed mirrors).
  • For application advice on sandstone-type materials contact the manufacturer's technical department. Porous stone should be sealed with a good quality PVA solution.
  • For application advice on powder-coated substrates, contact the powder-coating manufacturer.


DIRECTION FOR USE:

  • Cut the tube at the nose above the treaded area and attach the nozzle to the top of the cartridge.
  • Insert the cartridge into a heavy duty chalking gun.
  • All surfaces should be clean and dry.
  • Porous stone should be pre-sealed with a good quality PVA solution.
  • It is advisable that all metal applications should be cleaned and de-greased with C-Tec Multisolve. 
  • Express the adhesive from the cartridge with the "v" in the nozzle facing up.
  • Apply a minimum 200mm of a 10mm diameter bead per kilogram weight on heavy vertical bonding.
  • The bead of adhesive should be applied in continuous vertical lines.
  • After applying the bead of Power Grab 'n' Bond on the surface allow it to rest for approx 5 minutes to start activating before pressing the two surfaces together.
