Tips and hints from Araldite

On our website we have so many ideas and helpful tips to help you on your merry Araldite bonding way.

Here are just a few:

How to prepare:
Make sure surfaces are clean and free from dust, rust, dirt and grease.
For best bonding, slightly roughen surfaces with sandpaper and degrease metals with a suitable solvent.

How to use:
Follow the steps on the product pack carefully, taking care to use recommended quantities.
During assembly, apply light pressure to the joint until set.
Note the usability times.

How to strengthen:
Refer to product packaging for optimum setting times.
All glues take time to reach maximum bond strength.
This can vary from a few hours up to a day or so. Check the pack for details.

Aftercare:
Don't' "test" or stress the join unnecessarily.
Allow the bond strength to build up before use.
Don't expose the join to extremes of temperature, moisture, frost etc

Araldite testimonials for a Friday

We want to share with you some more of the Araldite feedback you've been sending.

Myra, Merseyside says: "There is glue for every project in our house."

We think Natalie from Solihull has had a glue issue in the past perhaps? "Araldite is easy to use and it is very difficult to stick your fingers together! Also, very precise."

And Kim from Ipswich says: "It mends with out showing." (We agree that Crystal is a great choice for invisible bonds).
