Works on All Wood Types

NO ACTIVATOR NEEDED

• To ensure a good bond, make sure the surface is clean and dry

before applying.

• RapidFuse bonds wood to virtually anything—including your skin,

so be careful not to get it on your hands. Don’t use your hands to

spread or wipe away excess.

(See Clean Up, on the back of this guide, for

tips.)

• Cured RapidFuse can be sanded or scraped to remove dried

excess.

Before You Begin

• Don’t use too much—only a small amount of RapidFuse adhesive

is needed.

• So how much should I use? Use just enough to cover the area

with a thin coat of adhesive, and make sure not to apply glue

to both sides of the surfaces you intend to bond. You will get a

better bond with thin, even coverage.

Use less on less porous woods.

Use a bit more on more porous woods.

• Use the materials you are joining or the ﬁne tip of the applicator

to spread a small amount of glue around the bonding area. Use

a paper towel to wipe away excess while wet.

• RapidFuse works best with a little adhesive and a tight bond.

At least 30 seconds of heavy pressure should be applied to get a

strong bond. Typically only 5 minutes of clamping is needed, but

you can clamp the whole 30 minutes for a super strong bond.

™ Application Tips: RapidFuse has a long open time—if you don’t touch and spread it. It will remain open for up to 40 minutes if you put adhesive straight down. If you use the fine tip applicator to spread it around, then you have about 3 minutes for open time (same as reposition time) to make a bond. RapidFuse is not gap filling—the two substrates you are bonding need to touch with pressure. Any glue that squeezes out during clamping should be wiped away with a dry paper towel.
