GENERAL INFORMATION
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS).
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Carefully clean and dry all surfaces to be bonded
2. Remove clamp and thoroughly mix the LOCTITE
ECCOBOND F 113 epoxy adhesive system components
in the handy BIPAX mixing-dispenser package until color
is uniform throughout
3. Apply this completely mixed adhesive to the prepared
surfaces, and gently press these surfaces together.
Contact pressure is adequate for strong, reliable bonds;
however, maintain contact until adhesive is completely
cured
