Pretreatment
- The strength and durability of a bonded joint are dependant on proper treatment of the surfaces to be bonded.
- At the very least, joint surfaces should be cleaned with a good degreasing agent such as acetone or other appropriate degreasing agent in order to remove all traces of oil, grease and dirt.
- Alcohol, gasoline or paint thinners should never be used.
- The strongest and most durable joints are obtained by either mechanically abrading or chemically etching (“pickling”) the degreased surfaces.
- Abrading should be followed by a second degreasing treatment.

- The removal of cured adhesive residues being a tedious and time-consuming operation, all tools and equipment should preferably be cleaned with hot soapy water before adhesives residues have had time to cure.
- If organic solvents such as acetone have to be used for cleaning, the operators should take all the appropriate precautions and wear some suitable personal protective equipment to prevent any contact with skin and eyes.
