Physical and Chemical Properties
Working Properties
- shelflife of 6 months once opened*
Apply to both surfaces as evenly as possible (roll or spray on, 2 coats), let it dry, then place 2 surfaces in contact with each other. Apply consistent even pressure for best adhesion. Consistency of product formula (has not changed since released by 3M) and thin application layer are both positive reasons to select this product over similar products from other brands. Works well on foams, pvc sheeting, wood and other natural products, as well as some metal sheeting. Needs to be applied in a well ventilated area, respirator may be required. Gloves and eye protection should be worn. Clean up while wet with mild soap and water. Once dry, the product can only be removed using acetate or similar chemical compound
