Press the two surfaces together firmly. Hold in place for a few minutes to allow the fast-tacking glue to set. Allow the bonded item to dry completely for a permanent bond, typically 24 hours. — Bond and Dry
Always test the glue on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results. Once dry, check the bond's strength and flexibility. — Test and Finish
