How do I prepare a surface properly prior to bonding?
For best results always ensure your surface is clean, dry and free from oil, grease and any other contaminants.
If the surface is dirty, wash it with a detergent solution and dry thoroughly before proceeding.
Abrade the surface – when you abrade something you scratch or roughen it, increasing the surface area and enabling adhesives to key (grip) more powerfully.
Abrading effectively increases the surface area by 35%, giving you a corresponding increase in bond strength.
Clean with a non-residual cleaning solvent such as NovaBond Surface Cleanerto remove any dust and create an ideal bonding surface.
