Installation Guide
Step 1: Surface Preparation
- Clean the bonding surface to remove dust, oil, grease, and contaminants.
- Ensure the substrate is completely dry before primer application.
Step 2: Apply AC79 Primer
- Apply a thin, uniform layer of 3M Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive Primer AC79 to the bonding area.
- Avoid excessive application.
Step 3: Allow Primer to Dry
- Allow the primer to dry completely before applying cyanoacrylate adhesive.
- Drying time depends on temperature, humidity, and application conditions.
Step 4: Apply Instant Adhesive
- Apply compatible instant adhesive to the prepared surface.
- Assemble components immediately after adhesive application.
Step 5: Allow Bond Curing
- Hold parts together until initial handling strength is achieved.
- Allow sufficient curing time before applying stress.
Storage
- Store in the original sealed container.
- Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
- Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
- Follow recommended shelf-life and storage requirements.
FAQ
Q1: What is 3M Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive Primer AC79 used for?
3M AC79 is used to improve the adhesion performance of cyanoacrylate instant adhesives on difficult-to-bond materials.
Q2: What is the difference between instant adhesive and primer?
