Instruccions de funcionament
Follow these steps for effective application of Piko FIX Glue:
- Aplicar cola: Apply a small, thin bead of Piko FIX Glue to one of the surfaces to be joined. The precise nozzle allows for accurate application, even in small cracks and crevices.
- Join Parts: Immediately press the two parts together firmly. Hold them in place for approximately 30 seconds to allow an initial bond to form.
- Temps de curat: While an initial bond forms quickly, allow the glued parts to cure completely for optimal strength. Full cure time is typically overnight (12-24 hours), depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
- Excess Glue: If any excess glue squeezes out, allow it to dry slightly, then carefully remove it with a hobby knife or fine sandpaper once fully cured. Avoid wiping wet glue, as this can spread it and damage surfaces.
Nota: Piko FIX Glue is a plastic cement, meaning it works by slightly softening the plastic surfaces, allowing them to fuse together as the solvent evaporates. This creates a strong, permanent bond.
