Five precautions for using glass glue

When decorating a house, glass glue is used in many places, so how to use glass glue correctly when decorating? In order to avoid improper use, which will shorten the service life of glass glue and decoration materials or furniture, the following briefly introduces some precautions for using glass glue.

First: the use of single and double components

Glass glue is generally divided into two categories: one-component and two-component. Generally speaking, one-component silicone glass glue can be used immediately, that is, it can be applied directly from the glue gun to the surface of the required place, which is very convenient. The two components need to be prepared before use, so in order to save time and make the single component more convenient, the general home decoration is to choose the one component.

Second: the glass glue sticking time

The glass glue is gradually adhered and firmly bonded. It develops from the surface inward, and the sticking time of different glass glues is different. Generally speaking, acid glue and neutral transparent glue are within 5 to 10 minutes, and neutral variegated glue is within 30 minutes. If you want to repair or color it, you must wait for the adhesive to dry Then proceed.



Third: curing time 

The curing time of the glass glue increases according to the increase of the bonding thickness. For example, the 12mm thick acid glass glue will take about 3 or 4 days to fully cure. When we use the glass glue where it is used, we must check whether it is fully cured, and use it when the bonding is firm.

Fourth: Steps for usage

Before using glass glue, you must first clear the joint surface to keep it clean, then use plastic tape to cover the vicinity of the interface, cut the hose nozzle, install the pointed tube, open a 45° angle according to the caulking size, and install the gum The gun presses out the rubber material along the seam according to the 45° angle, so that the rubber and the substrate surface are in full and close contact, and finally the excess surface rubber material is trimmed with a knife, and finally the tape is torn off.

Fifth: storage

The glass glue that can't be used up should also be preserved. It is best to store it in a cool and dry place indoors and keep it below 30 degrees Celsius. This is the best way to preserve glass glue.
