FIELD OF APPLICATION
Furniture Industries
Bonding laminate, plywood, veneer, particleboard, MDF, block board, hard
board to each other.
Non-furniture Industries
Bus body building where wood is used
APPLICATION METHOD
Surfaces to be bonded should be free from oil; grease; dust and dirt and should
be dry and properly levelled.
For best results, roughen the surfaces to be bonded.
Stir content of container before use.
Apply even coats of FEVICOL SH first on comparatively non-porous surface, and
then on porous surface for e.g. apply first on laminate and then on plywood.
If possible, application should be lengthwise on one surface and breadth-wise
on other surface. This will help in proper and uniform spreading of adhesive
while pressing.
Before allowing adhesive to dry, bring both the surfaces in contact, make proper
alignment, and start pressing from one side by using wet squeezed cloth to
avoid bubbles, and ensuring uniform contact.
Pressure can be given by using nails; clamps; weight; masking tape etc.
Excess adhesive; which oozes out from edges should be wiped off with wet
squeezed cloth.
To get best results, bonded surfaces are to be kept under pressure for 24 hrs.
If required, pressure can be released after 4-6 hrs and the bonded assembly can
be put to use. In case of highly porous surfaces like particleboard and MDF, it is
advised that, a thin coat of FEVICOL SH is applied by pressure on the surface
and allowed to dry. This will fill the pores of the surface. After drying, light
sanding is to be done for getting smooth leveled surface and then this surface is
bonded as per the method shown above.
