Adhesives


Preparation

Generally speaking, you should prepare any surface before bonding.  Wood usually needs to be freshly sanded, but metals need to be abraded (sanded) to cut the surface oxidisation, and then wiped with solvent. Don’t use petrol or thinners such as turps etc. The best is methylated spirits, isopropyl alcohol and some specialist products.  Even plastics, rock and glass will benefit from some preparation.
