Using it

It performs well at a thin bond gap (0.05mm). Larger gaps slow the cure, and an activator can speed the cure but may reduce final strength; see Loctite 7452 Cyanoacrylate Accelerator 20g.

Curing continues for at least 24 hours before full chemical and solvent resistance develops.

Do not return used product to the container.
