Suggested Application Method(s): Spray, brush, roll or flow Automatic spray Solvent: 3MTM Neoprene High Performance Contact Adhesive 1357 * 1357-L Handling/Application Information When bonding wood veneers, success is dependent on many variables such as environmental conditions, bonding process, type of base material, type of veneer, adhesive type and top coat finishing systems to name a few. It is the user's responsibility to thoroughly test any adhesive for its suitability in bonding wood veneers. It is also recommended to follow the veneer manufacturers recommendation and industry guidelines. Directions For Use: 1. Surface Preparation: Remove all dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax, loose paint, etc. Wiping with solvent such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) will aid in preparing the surface for bonding.* 2. Application Temperature: For best results the temperature of the adhesive and surfaces to be bonded should be at least 65F (18C). If stored below 30F (-1C), warm-up to room temperature in a warm room only (do not exceed 120F (49C) followed by thorough agitation). 3. Application: Stir or agitate well before using for optimum results. Apply 2.5 gms to 3.5 gms/ft.2 dry weight to each surface. Unusually porous surfaces will require more adhesive. 4. Drying Time: The adhesive dries in about 10 minutes. High humidity will slow drying-high temperatures speed the drying. This adhesive has a bonding range of approximately 30 minutes when applied to both bond surfaces under conditions of 70F (21C) and 35% R.H. If the adhesive becomes too dry, apply another thin coat of adhesive to one surface, allow to become slightly tacky, and bond. Relative humidity above 50% can cause blushing (condensation of moisture on surface) and a false bond. To avoid this, we recommend a force drying temperature of 180-220F (82-104C). Force drying will also help remove the solvent more rapidly. 5. Assembly: Spacers, such as dowels or strips of laminate, may be used to help prevent premature adhesive/adhesive contact and bonding prior to positioning. Slide out of the spacers and apply uniform pressure, working toward the edges. A 3 in. roller used with maximum body pressure should be used to help ensure adequate contact and bonding, especially on edges. The use of a pinch roll is preferred for optimum performance. Bonded assemblies may be machined, trimmed, etc. immediately after bonding. 6. Cleanup: Adhesive residue of 3MTM Neoprene High Performance Contact Adhesive 1357 and 1357-L may be removed from exposed surfaces with solvents such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), or 3MTM Citrus Base Industrial Cleaner.* For flushing fluid lines use MEK. *When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and follow the manufacturer's precautions and directions for use. -2- 3MTM Neoprene High Performance Contact Adhesive 1357 * 1357-L Application Equipment Suggestions Appropriate application equipment can enhance adhesive performance. We suggest the following application equipment for the user's evaluation in light of the user's particular purpose and method of application. 1. Pumping: A 2:1 divorced design pump is suggested. All material hoses should be nylon or PVA lined. Packings and glands in contact with the adhesive should be PTFE. 2. Spray: Spray Applicator Air Cap Fluid Tip Air Pressure Approximate Air Requirement* Fluid Flow** DeVilbiss JGA, MSA 777 FX (.042") 80 psi 181/2 CFM 6 fl. oz./min. Binks No. 95 or 2001 63PH 63BSS (.046") 80 psi 23 CFM 6 fl. oz./min. These adhesives are not recommended for Airless Spraying. *5 H.P. Compressor for continuous use. **To Measure Fluid Flow: Pressurize fluid source only; pull trigger, flow material into measuring device for 60 seconds, increase or decrease fluid source pressure to obtain desired fluid flow. 3. Brush/Roller: Typical brushes/rollers designed for oil-based paint may be used.
