DO I NEED TO ADD THE CONTACT CEMENT TO BOTH SIDE?

YES. ALL STUCK CONTACT CEMENT REQUIRES APPLICATION TO BOTH SIDE. THEY WORK BEST WITH POROUS MATERIALS (WATER-ABSORBENT MATERIALS). PERMANENT BONDING OCCURS IN 8 SECONDS WITH AS-2578. AS-CC48 BONDS WHEN THE APPLICATION AREA IS TACKY TO TOUCH.

DOES ALL STUCK CONTACT CEMENT HARDEN OR STIFFEN THE MATERIAL ONCE DRIED?

NO. ALL STUCK CREATES A STRONG BOND, BUT REMAINS FLEXIBLE ON LEATHER, FOAM, NEOPRENE, SCUBA, CANVAS, COTTON, AND MORE.

IS CONTACT CEMENT FLAMMABLE?

NO. AS-2578 IN NON-FLAMMABLE & NON-TOXIC.

YES. AS-CC48 IS FLAMMABLE AND SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM SPARKS AND FLAMES.

DOES CONTACT CEMENT REQUIRE A MASK?

NO. AS-2578 IS SAFE FOR INDOOR USE BECAUSE OUR FORMULA HAS NO HARSH VOC SOLVENTS TO CAUSE UNSAFE ODORS INDOORS. NO HARSH SOLVENTS LIKE FORMALDEHYDE, BENZENE, TOLUENE, OR XYLENE. (PLEASE USE AS-2578 FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE). AS-CC48 IS A TRADITIONAL CONTACT CEMENT AND REQUIRES USE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA FOR SAFETY PURPOSES.

DOES CONTACT CEMENT THICKEN OVER TIME LIKE STANDARD SOLVENT-BASED CONTACT CEMENTS?

AS-2578 IS SOLD IN 4OZ TO 8OZ CONTAINERS TO MAINTAIN ITS BONDING STRENGTH OVER TIME. SHAKE WELL BEFORE STARTING APPLICATION. AS-2578 ACTIVATES WHEN THE BOTTLE IS SHAKEN AND DOES NOT REQUIRE THINNERS TO MAINTAIN ITS VISCOSITY. DO NOT USE THINNER WITH AS-2578.

AS-CC48 IS A TRADITIONAL CONTACT CEMENT AND DOES THICKEN OVER TIME AFTER EXPOSURE TO THE ENVIRONMENT LIKE MOST CEMENTS. ADD A SMALL AMOUNT OF THINNER TO LOOSEN THE REMAINING PRODUCT IN THE CAN. STIR THE PRODUCT AND TEST VISCOSITY BEFORE ADDING MORE THINNER. ACETONE CAN ALSO BE USED IN A SMALL AMOUNTS TO THIN AS-CC48.

IF AS-2578 IS WATER-BASED AND CONTAINS NO HARSH SOLVENTS. THEN WHAT IS IT MADE OF TO BE SO MUCH SAFER TO USE INDOORS?

AS-2578 IS A NEOPRENE & WATER MIXTURE. THIS MAKES AS-2578 MUCH SAFER FOR INDOOR USE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER HARSH-ODOR VOC BLENDS. NEOPRENE IS A RUBBER THAT IS VERY VERSATILE. FOR EXAMPLE, NEOPRENE IS USED IN MOST SURGICAL GLOVES AND CERTAIN FABRICS.

HOW DO I STOP MY CAP FROM STICKING OVER TIME?

AT FIRST USE, LUBRICATE OR RUB SOME VASELINE (PETROLEUM JELLY) AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE BOTTLES OR CAN SCREW TOP AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAP, IF NEEDED. THIS WILL ENSURE THE CAP WILL NOT STICK TO THE BOTTLE OR CAN OVER TIME.
