DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: Before using Bostik Leather Repair Clear Glue refer to the relevant Health & Safety Data Sheet, available at www.bostik.com/uk.
PREPARATION
1. Work on a protected area as spills can damage sensitive surfaces, such as polished, cellulose surfaces and fabrics.
2. Make sure that the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and grease.
3. When bonding leather avoid spills onto the shiny side as a mark will be left.
APPLICATION
4. To bond non-absorbent surfaces such as metal or glass apply a thin film of adhesive to both surfaces. Allow 5 to 10 minutes drying time and then, having correctly
positioned the surfaces, press them together firmly. The bond will be instant and non-adjustable.
5. If one or both surfaces are absorbent apply a generous film of adhesive to one surface only and immediately join the two surfaces together under pressure.
NOTE: Using this technique, initial bond strengths will be lower.
CLEANING
6. Remove surplus adhesive by the use of nail varnish remover or acetone.
