Application of Adhesive
- A layer of adhesive 0.002 to 0.004-inches (0.05 to 0.10-mm) thick will normally impact 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 surfaces to ensure proper cure.
Applications
- Ski and snowboard lamination
- Archery limb lamination
- Honeycomb core facing

- Unless otherwise stated, the figures given below were all determined by testing standard specimens made by lap-joint 4-inch x 1-inch x 0.06-inch (10-cm x 2.5-cm x 1.5-mm) strips of degreased and 100-grit abraded aluminum. The joint area was 0.5 x 1 inch (12.5 mm x 2.5 cm) in each case. Samples were cured at 176 °F (80 °C) for 30 minutes, unless otherwise noted.
