Temperature

The specified adhesive has a high viscosity and is not easily applied at 'room temperature' using conventional methods. When the adhesive is applied it chills rapidly on contact with the body and reverts to the hard condition, thus providing full retention (not full strength) within minutes.

Raising the temperature of the adhesive lowers the viscosity and speeds up the flow. It is recommended therefore that the adhesive is prewarmed in a heated cabinet for a minimum of 20 (twenty) minutes and the extrusion gun has integral heating elements.
