Handling/Application
Information
When bonding wood veneers, success is dependent on many variables such as
environmental conditions, bonding process, type of base material, type of veneer,
adhesive type and top coat finishing systems to name a few. It is the user’s
responsibility to thoroughly test any adhesive for its suitability in bonding wood
veneers. It is also recommended to follow the veneer manufacturers recommendation
and industry guidelines.
Directions For Use:
1.
Surface Preparation:
Remove all dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax, loose paint, etc.
Wiping with solvent such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) will aid in preparing the
surface for bonding.*
2.
Application Temperature:
For best results the temperature of the adhesive and
surfaces to be bonded should be at least 65°F (18°C). If stored below 30°F (-1°C),
warm-up to room temperature in a warm room only (do not exceed 120°F (49°C)
followed by thorough agitation).
3.
Application:
Stir or agitate well before using for optimum results. Apply 2.5 gms
to 3.5 gms/ft.
2
dry weight to each surface. Unusually porous surfaces will require
more adhesive.
4.
Drying Time:
The adhesive dries in about 10 minutes. High humidity will slow
drying-high temperatures speed the drying. This adhesive has a bonding range of
approximately 30 minutes when applied to both bond surfaces under conditions of
70°F (21°C) and 35% R.H. If the adhesive becomes too dry, apply another thin coat
of adhesive to one surface, allow to become slightly tacky, and bond.
Relative humidity above 50% can cause blushing (condensation of moisture on
surface) and a false bond. To avoid this, we recommend a force drying temperature
of 180-220°F (82-104°C). Force drying will also help remove the solvent more
rapidly.
5.
Assembly:
Spacers, such as dowels or strips of laminate, may be used to help
prevent premature adhesive/adhesive contact and bonding prior to positioning.
Slide out of the spacers and apply uniform pressure, working toward the edges.
A 3 in. roller used with maximum body pressure should be used to help ensure
adequate contact and bonding, especially on edges. The use of a pinch roll is
preferred for optimum performance. Bonded assemblies may be machined,
trimmed, etc. immediately after bonding.
6.
Cleanup:
Adhesive residue of 3M™ Neoprene High Performance Contact
Adhesive 1357 and 1357-L may be removed from exposed surfaces with solvents
such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), or 3M™ Citrus Base Industrial Cleaner.*
For flushing fluid lines use MEK.
*When
using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and
follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.

Application Equipment
Suggestions
Appropriate application equipment can enhance adhesive performance. We
suggest the following application equipment for the user’s evaluation in light of
the user’s particular purpose and method of application.
1.
Pumping:
A 2:1 divorced design pump is suggested. All material hoses should be
nylon or PVA lined. Packings and glands in contact with the adhesive should be
PTFE.
