How do you use AB adhesive?

To use AB adhesive (also known as epoxy adhesive), follow these steps:

1. Prepare the surfaces: Ensure that the surfaces you plan to bond are clean, dry, and free from any grease, oil, or loose particles. You may need to sand or roughen the surfaces for better adhesion.

2. Mix the adhesive: AB adhesive typically comes in two parts - resin and hardener. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to mix the two parts in the recommended ratio. Use a clean mixing surface and a disposable tool, such as a wooden stick, to blend the adhesive thoroughly.

3. Apply the adhesive: Using a brush, spatula, or a dedicated dispenser, apply the mixed adhesive to one of the surfaces you want to bond. Apply an even, thin layer, ensuring full coverage.

4. Join the surfaces: Press the two surfaces together, aligning them carefully. Apply sufficient pressure to ensure good contact between the adhesive and the surfaces. You may need to use clamps or other methods to hold the surfaces in place while the adhesive cures.

5. Allow curing: Leave the bonded surfaces undisturbed as per the manufacturer's instructions for the adhesive to cure. This usually involves keeping the assembly at a specific temperature and allowing sufficient time for the adhesive to harden.

6. Clean up: Clean any excess adhesive immediately using a suitable solvent or as recommended by the manufacturer. Once cured, the adhesive may be difficult to remove.

Remember to always read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the AB adhesive you are using, as specific application and curing times may vary.
