Tips:
✔ When using the tube variant, ensure you replace the correct cap on the correct tube. Placing the wrong cap on the wrong tube will cause the tube to harden (caps and tubes are colour coded to help).
✔ For maximum working time, mix in small quantities. Large quantities accelerate the curing process and reduce working time.
✔ To remove product after cure, mechanical action (scraping or sanding) is recommended. Since the product is chemically resistant solvent will NOT dissolve this product.
✔ Allow for longer bonding times in colder weather.
✔ Bond strength will soften above 60°C but strength is retained when temperature returns to normal.
✔ To reposition the bond once cured, check that the item is heat resistant. If safe, heat the item slowly, e.g. in an oven, to at least 150°C. The product will soften and liquify slightly. Scrape off any excess then reposition the joint carefully using appropriate safety equipment. Allow the item to cool down in the correct position. The product will reharden once returned to room temperature.
✔ Clamping is recommended for a stronger bond.
✔ If you're a regular user of super glue or other kinds of epoxies, you can keep the tips from drying out by storing the tubes in a jar of rice. It sounds a little backwards, but super glue actually needs water in order for it to harden and dry out.

Cleanup
✔ Uncured product may be removed with acetone.
✔ Cured product can be softened with heat to make scraping easier.
