Devcon 14240 5 Minute Epoxy Gel - 25 ml Dev-Tube

Clean surface by solvent-wiping any deposits of heavy grease, oil, dirt, or other contaminants. Surface can also be cleaned with industrial cleaning equipment such as vapor phase degreasers or hot aqueous baths. If working with metal, abrade or roughen the surface to significantly increase the microscopic bond area and increase the bond strength.

Mixing Instructions

Proper homogenous mixing of resin and hardener is essential for the curing and development of stated strengths.

25 ML DEV-TUBE

1. Squeeze material into a small container the size of an ashtray.
2. Using mixing stick included on Dev-tube handle, vigorously mix components for one (1) minute.
3. Immediately apply to substrate.

50 ML/400ML/490 ML CARTRIDGES

1. Attach cartridge to Mark V™ [50ml] 400ml manual or pneumatic dispensing systems.
2. Open tip.
3. Burp cartridge by squeezing out some material until both sides are uniform (ensures no air bubbles are present during mixing).
4. Attach mix nozzle to end of cartridge.
5. Apply to substrate.

1. Apply mixed epoxy directly to one surface in an even film or as a bead.
2. Assemble with mating part within recommended working time.
3. Apply firm pressure between mating parts to minimize any gap and ensure good contact (a small fillet of epoxy should flow out the edges to display adequate gap fill.)

For very large gaps:

1. Apply epoxy to both surfaces
2. Spread to cover entire area OR make a bead pattern to allow flow throughout the joint

Let bonded assemblies stand for recommended functional cure time prior to handling.
