Gluing Hints for Metal Findings

• Remember Murphy's Law! Before gluing or otherwise applying any chemical to every piece of your best customer's 1,000-piece order, we strongly recommend that you test the chemical(s) on a small sample of the goods.
• Whenever possible, use a file to roughen smooth surfaces. This gives a stronger grip.
• Clean both surfaces to be joined. We recommend using isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab in a well-ventilated area.
• Why is it so important to clean the surfaces? During the manufacturing process, metal findings are coated with oil. They are degreased, but normally still have a small amount of oil left on the surface.
• Follow each adhesive's directions carefully when using.
• It's best if you can provide a dry, dust-free, well-ventilated environment when gluing. This helps assure a secure bond. Extreme temperatures might affect the drying time.
• Store all adhesives in a cool place.
• MSDS (Material Safety and Data Sheets)available upon request for all glues that we sell.
