TENSOL 12 Acrylic Adhesive, 50ml Bottle/Perspex Bonding Glue Cement

Product Information

Joints will be set sufficiently to be handled after 3 hours but must not be machined for at least 24 hours

Thoroughly mix the adhesive by stirring, taking care to entrap as little air in the adhesive as possible. The Liquid solvent is applied using a brush or a syringe (often supplied with the glue). As it is a liquid, it is drawn along joints and surfaces through a process called capillary action. Care must be taken, as the glue damages exposed surfaces (as it melts the surfaces of the materials forming a ‘weld joint’). assembly. After 4 hours cure the parts can be lightly machined but, for the best results, the joint should bepetroleum ether or white spirit then washed with water. Extruded or machined parts should be annealed

Select an adhesive (Tensol), which joins plastics such as acrylic, together permanently. Tensol is also called ‘dichlormethane methyl methacrylate’ and produces a chemical weld between two surfaces. Tensol is applied to the surfaces to be glued and they are pressed together. The surfaces are clamped for 24 hours.

An alternative to a vice is a set of G-Cramps. These spread the pressure across the surfaces being joined, in much the same way as a vice. Notice the wood lengths that protect the ‘plastic’ and evenly distribute the pressure from the clamps. sheet can be used if it is suitably annealed prior to bonding. Tensol 12 must not be used with Perspex ME, Do not use adhesive that has been mixed for more than 20 minutes as it will be difficult to use and give applications, 1 to 2 weeks should be adequate. To obtain the maximum strength more rapidly the bond can
