Application of Adhesive System No. 5.
WARNING
The adhesives under this system are
toxic and may produce skin irritation.
Work only in well-ventilated areas
and avoid bodily contact with the
adhesives.
(1)
(Refer to Table 2-5 for list of acceptable
adhesives). Clean faying surfaces, using methyl-ethyl-
ketone.
(2)
If adhesive (item 27, Table 2-5) is used,
blend 100 parts, by weight, of part B with 140 parts, by
weight, of part A.
(3)
If adhesive (item 118, Table 2-5) is used,
thoroughly blend equal parts of components A and B to
form component AB. Thoroughly blend equal parts of
components C and D to form component CD.
Thoroughly
blend
equal
parts
of
the
combined
components AB and CD.
(4)
If adhesives (items 16, 18, 21, 19, 20, or
17, Table 2-5) are used, thoroughly blend equal parts of
components AB and CD.
(5)
Apply a thin uniform coat of blended
adhesive to faying surfaces.
(6)
Assemble
parts
and
apply
sufficient
pressure to ensure solid contact.
(7)
Remove excess adhesive, using methyl-
ethyl-ketone.
(8)
Allow adhesive to cure in accordance with
one of the following cure cycles.
(a)
30 to 60 minutes 200°F (930C).
(b)
2 hours at 170°F (77°C).
(c)
8 hours at 120°F (490C).
(d)
11 hours at 104°F (40°C).
(e)
24 hours at 70 0F (21° C).

Application of Adhesive System No. 6.
WARNING
The adhesives under this system are
toxic and flammable. Work only in
well-ventilated
areas
away
from
flame.
(1)
(Refer to Table 2-5 for list of acceptable
adhesives.) Clean faying surfaces using methyl-ethyl-
ketone.
(2)
Brush two coats of primer (item 118,
Table 2-5) on all surfaces, other than rubber. Allow 45
minutes drying time after each coat.
(3)
Brush a uniform coat of adhesive (item
37, Table 2-5) on both faying surfaces, and immediately
join coated surfaces.
NOTE
Exposure to air for more than a few
minutes will cause adhesive surface
to dry, resulting in a poor bond.
(4)
Apply sufficient pressure to ensure solid
contact but not enough to cause excessive adhesive
squeeze out.
NOTE
A bond line thickness of 0.015 inch
will give best results.
(5)
Allow adhesive to cure for a minimum of
24 hours 70° to 800F (21.1 ° to 26.7°C).
NOTE
Complete bond strength is achieved
after approximately 3 days.
i.
Application of Adhesive System No. 7.
WARNING
All procedures should be performed
in a well ventilated area and away
from open flame as the adhesives
contain
toxic
and
flammable
materials. Hydrogen is generated by
catalyzed
adhesive
during
cure.
Therefore, all containers of material
should be vented to avoid pressure
buildup.
(1)
(Refer to Table 2-5 for list of acceptable
adhesives.) Clean all faying surfaces using methyl-
ethyl-ketone.
