Description
EVERBUILD MITRE FAST is a two pack system comprising an extremely high viscosity ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive (50g) a 200ml aerosol activator. Used primarily for instant bonding (10 seconds) of wooden mitre joints, with numerous other uses.
Benefits of Mitre Fast
- Flash setting formulation - bonds most surfaces within 10 seconds, cutting down dramatically mitre assembly bonding times when compared to conventional wood adhesives.
- High viscosity adhesive – low soak in to give greater bond strength
- Gap filling – will fill small gaps in mitres etc (up to 0.2mm)
- Economical in use.
Areas For Use
- Multitude of industrial applications: Bonds MDF, wood, chipboard, rubber, plastics, Perspex, uPVC ceramics, aluminium and metals.
- Ideal for all cornice and profile mitres, trims, picture frames, MDF, skirting and architrave joints, worktop end strips, PVCu trims and much more. It is particularly useful for electronics assembly and uPVC window trim bonding.
Limitations
- Ensure surfaces are degreased prior to bonding.
- Do not use on glass, applications involving constant water immersion, bitumen or tar leaching products, use on load bearing applications
- On wooden/porous surfaces, do not use any other cyanoacrylate except MITRE FAST ADHESIVE. These products are thinner and the soak in will give poor bond strength.
Surface Preparation
The surfaces to be glued should be clean, dry and free from dust, grease and other contaminants. Materials should be stored in a warm environment prior to bonding to avoid chilling of the glue line, which extends setting times. Where possible, ensure working environment has a relative humidity of 50% +.
Application
- Spray one surface with activator.
- Apply adhesive sparingly to other surface.
- Bring together, position and hold for about 10 seconds.
