| CAUTION: | Hot Melt Adhesives release unpleasant smelling vapors when heated. Always work in an area the has an appropriate ventilation/exhaust device. |
Maximize successful bonding by removing all dust and acclimating boards and edges to room temperature of at least 18°C (64°F). Ideally moisture content of the wood should be 8-10%. Avoid drafts and process substrates at precise and correct angles. Use an independent lab, bimetal or electrical contact thermometer, and check it regularly. Adjust temperature as needed.
| Technique | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Rate of Feed | 20-30m (70'-100')/min, depending on edge width. A slow line can cause faulty gluing. |
| Application Quantity | Apply the glue until it shows slightly on the (to be glued) part's edge. Check the uniformity of the adhesive film with a strip of transparent rigid PVC. |
| Consumption for Precoating Edges | 80-100 g/m2 (3-4 ounce/10.7639 SF) |
| Post Treatment | Glued material can be sawn, routed, planed, etc. immediately after bonding |
| Cleaning of Machine | Follow manufacturer's directions |
| Waste Disposal | Disposal of contents, containers, etc. must comply with federal, state, and local regulations. The 779.1 containers are recyclable. |
