Weldbond As a Glue
Ready for use straight from the container.

DRYING TIME. Weldbond becomes tacky quickly and will dry within the hour, depending on temperature and humidity. Weldbond is fully cured when the bond is clear (transparent). The longer it’s left, the stronger the bond.

SURFACE PREPARATIONS: Ensure all surfaces are clean and free from dirt, oil and rust.

ANY POROUS TO NON-POROUS APPLICATION (i.e. WOOD TO METAL): Spread thin film on both surfaces. Leave open for 1 or 2 minutes to become tacky and slightly transparent, then squeeze both surfaces together with slight turning motion. The longer this is left to cure the stronger the bond.

ANY TWO NON-POROUS SURFACES (i.e. GLASS TO GLASS): Spread thin film on both surfaces. Leave open for 2-3 minutes, then squeeze surfaces together with a slightly turning motion. The longer this is left to cure the stronger the bond. When cured the bond is clear (transparent). A high temperature and low humidity speeds curing.

ANY TWO POROUS SURFACES (i.e. CHINA, POTTERY, CERAMICS): Best results: Use a sealing mixture of 5 parts water 1 part Weldbond. First seal both surfaces with this mixture, allow to dry (approx. 1 hr.) then spread thin film of concentrated Weldbond over both surfaces and clamp lightly or tape until fully cured.

* EXCEPTIONS: Some types of plastic, rubber and cast metals, i.e. polyethylene, unbacked vinyl, p.v.c. and teflon.** NON-TOXIC as defined in the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

WORKING TEMPERATURE: For maximum performance use at temperatures above 50ºF or 10ºC and on surfaces below 200ºF or 92ºC. Protect contents from freezing.

NOTE: Do not use when bonding containers designed for use with or subject to hot liquids.

Weldbond As a Sealer
Use as a porous surface sealing agent. Cut with 5 parts water to 1 part Weldbond and apply with roller, sponge or brush. For use on untreated concrete, drywall, brick, block and mortar joints. Dries to a clear non slip matte finish. Diluted with 5 parts water covers up to 2000 sq.ft. at approx. 6¢ per sq.ft. Undiluted coverage at 400 sq.ft.

Weldbond As a Bonding Agent
For cement, plaster and similar texture finishes. Ensure substrate is clean and ready to accept the mix. Etch with chemical or mechanical means where required. If surface is porous seal with the above sealing mixture and allow to dry. Mix 3 parts Weldbond to 1 part water and apply to surface, pour your intended mix over the wet down solution. Weldbond is formulated for above grade applications only.
