Weicon adhesive spray for detachable joints

Applications: When gluing large areas it is often difficult to evenly distribute the adhesive everywhere before it has already begun to dry. This problem can be gotten around by using a spray glue. When evenly and thinly sprayed, it will form a coat of adhesive which will not bleed through or make paper wavy. Spray glue can be used on numerous materials: paper and cardboard, a wide variety of plastics and plastic foams (glued to themselves or on wood and metal). Typical areas of use for spray glue include mounting drawings, placards, photographs, maps and the like on solid backgrounds. Examples of substrates abound: KAPA boards, honeycomb board, thick cardboards, basic corrugated boards, Forex boards, etc.

Treatment: When mounting on smaller surfaces it is not the substrate that receives the even coat of glue but rather the object that is to be mounted. After the glue has been applied, mounting should begin on one of the short sides and the rest carefully stretched out and pressed into place. This pressing should always be done from the middle outwards as much as possible so as to avoid small bubbles forming. After that is completed, a PRESSURE ROLLER or a FELT SQUEEGEE-TYPE APPLICATOR should be employed for further flattening purposes. If, for example, you plan to glue-mount a large number of ink-jet prints on presentation boards, it is helpful to have many separate underlayers on hand because as you spray the backside of a print there will always be some overspray on the underlayer upon which you will then not be able to lay the next print.

This economically priced Weicon spray adhesive is, on the one hand, designed for temporary bonds that can be repositioned if needed. If you apply a thin coat of the adhesive on only one of the two pieces you want to bond, it will produce a good, but nonetheless, detachable bond. If you apply a thicker coat to both of your pieces, the bond will instead be permanent after about 60 minutes, which is a rather long open time compared to other spray adhesives.

The adhesive coat will neither bleed through nor make a surface wavy, even when applied to thin paper. The detachable joint version of Weicon adhesive spray is great for affixing and bonding templates, decorations, and posters as well as for adhering photo paper to KAPA BOARD or other carrier materials made of cardboard or plastic. Despite its being clear, this spray adhesive should not be used to glue transparent materials because once it dries, the adhesive coat becomes visible. This spray adhesive is a very economical alternative to the SPRAY MOUNT or PHOTO MOUNT sprays when you are working in such fields as photography and graphics.

According to the manufacture, the contents of the can is sufficient to coat about 13 m² (depending, of course, on the type of material(s) being bonded).
