Handling
Mixing:  This product requires mixing two components together just prior to application.  Complete mixing is necessary.  The temperature of the separate components prior to mixing is not critical, but they should be close to room temperature.

Application
Mixing :  Combine Part A (resin) and Part B (hardener) in the correct ratio and mix thoroughly until the color and consistency are uniform.  EPOXI-PATCH® Tube Kits have been designed so that squeezing EQUAL LENGTH BEADS of Part A  1 hour at 180°F; or 30 minutes at 250°F.  Heat cures can be modified to achieve a desired degree of cure from handling strength to full cure.

Mixing - Cartridges:  Place cartridge in proper dispenser.  To begin using a new cartridge, remove cartridge cap and dispense a small amount of adhesive, making sure both Parts A & B are extruding.  Attach nozzle and dispense approximately  1-2" before applying onto the part to be bonded.  Partially used cartridges can be stored with the mixing nozzle attached.  To reuse, remove and discard the old nozzle, attach the new nozzle, and begin dispensing.
**Note**Mix cartridge dispenses adhesive in a 2:1 ratio.  Tests show no significant effect on bond performance compared to 2.7:1 ratio.

Application:
Bonding surfaces should be clean and dry. For optimum surface preparation, consult Dexter's Bulletin  Preparing the Surface for Adhesive Bonding.  Once the adhesive is applied, the bonded parts should be held in contact until the part has developed handling strength.  It is not necessary to clamp the parts unless movement during cure is likely.

Cure:  Complete cure is obtained after three days at room temperature.  After 24 hours, approximately 90% of full cure properties are attained. Hysol 0151 will achieve handling strength in 6-8 hours at 77°F (note: this can vary with different bond configurations).  Hysol 0151 can also be completely cured with heat such as:  2 hours at 140°F; 1 hour at 180°F; or 30 minutes at 250°F.  Heat cures can be modified to achieve a desired degree of cure from handling strength to full cure.

Clean Up:  It is important to remove excess adhesive from the work area and application equipment before it hardens. Many common solvents and citrus cleaners are suitable for removing uncured adhesive.  Consult with your supplier's information pertaining to the safe and proper use of solvents.

Performance
