Processing Information

ARALDITE® 5864 A/B Epoxy Adhesive mix is applied with a spatula to the pre-treated and dry joint surfaces. A layer of adhesive 0.002 to 0.004-inches (0.05 to 0.10-mm) thick will normally impart the greatest lap shear strength to a joint. The joint components should be assembled and clamped as soon as the adhesive has been applied. Even contact throughout suffices to ensure proper cure
