Anytime you need to fix something real quick, there’s an easy solution: Loctite Extreme Epoxy. It bonds most materials like plastic, metal, glass, wood and textiles.
Here’s how to proceed:
- Prepare the surfaces. To get the best possible results, use a piece of sandpaper to roughen the surfaces a bit. Then, before you apply the 1-minute epoxy resin, make sure to clean and dry the surfaces thoroughly.
- Clear the work surface and put on gloves before opening the 1-minute epoxy glue.
- Get ready to apply the 1-minute epoxy glue. Snap off the seal at the end of the syringe and apply one of the static mixing nozzles, pushing it on and twisting it in a clockwise direction (see pack instructions).
- Apply the 1-minute epoxy. Carefully apply the adhesive by pressing down the syringe, applying the glue onto one of the surfaces and pressing them together. Clean away any excess or spilled One-minute epoxy glue with methylated spirit.
- Hold tight. 1-minute epoxy glue starts to cure after 1 minute and can be handled after 30 minutes. To ensure that the surfaces bond properly, you should secure them with a clamp or find some other way to hold them together until the glue sets.
- After use, remove the nozzle by turning in an anti-clockwise direction. Discard the nozzle and apply the black cap to the end of the nozzle for future use.
