Technical Data Sheet
DIRECTIONS
Preparation:
The temperature of the adhesive, the surfaces and the working area must be between 0°F (-18°C) and 100°F (38°C). For smooth, fast, easy
application during cold weather, store adhesive at room temperature (70° ± 5°F) 24 hours prior to use. Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean,
structurally sound and free of standing water, dust, grease, oil and/or other contaminants. Pre-fit all materials prior to applying product. Cut off
tip of cartridge at 45° angle to desired bead size. For exterior applications, the recommended bead size is 3/8” (9.5 mm). Puncture seal inside of
nozzle.
General Application Guidelines:
Apply a continuous zigzag bead to one surface to be bonded. Apply the adhesive at a rate so that the materials can be positioned and fastened
within 15 minutes. All projects may require support until adhesive has cured. It is recommended that all foot traffic stay off of paver stones or
retaining caps for at least 24 to 48 hours after installation and heavy traffic for approximately 4 to 5 days.
For Landscape Blocks:
When installing the cap onto the final course of landscape blocks, apply approximately 2” in from the front and 2” in from the back of the cap to be
installed.
For Concrete Paving Stones:
Apply an “S” shaped bead to the back of the stone to be installed. If using old concrete, clean with a 20% muriatic acid solution, then rinse with
clean water and allow to dry prior to applying adhesive.
Clean-up:
Clean tools and uncured adhesive residue immediately with acetone or mineral spirits in a well-ventilated area to the outdoors. Cured adhesive
may be carefully cut away with a sharp-edged tool.
Alternate Application Method: Adhesive may be applied in continuous “S” pattern every 8 inches (20 cm) apart and only on flat sections that
closely mate with existing wall surface.
NOTE: All application methods will require bracing for at least 24-48 hours to maintain contact while adhesive cures. Panel edges can be supported
with masking tape. After 20 minutes hand press again over all areas of installation to ensure good contact. Connect seams of panels according to
tub surround manufacturer instructions. Edges can be sealed after at least 24 hours after installation but not before hand. Allow at least 24 hours
after sealing before using the area.
Clean-up:
Clean tools and adhesive residue immediately with mineral spirits. Loctite® PL® Premium Max can only be removed mechanically once cured.
Not damaged by freezing. For best results, store at 70° ± 5°F in a cool, dry place. Store away from heat, flame and sparks. Take unwanted
product to an approved household hazardous waste transfer facility. Hardened material may be disposed of with trash.
