Application of adhesive
The resin/hardener mix is applied with a spatula, to the pretreated and dry joint surfaces.
A layer of adhesive 0.05 to 0.10 mm thick will normally impart the greatest lap shear strength to the joint.
The joint components should be assembled and clamped as soon as the adhesive has been applied. An even
