There are a number of things to consider when choosing any adhesive product. Below is a list of some questions to aid in the decision making process.

Cheat Sheet
  • What materials will I be bonding?

  • Is the surface I will adhere to rough or smooth?

  • Do I want the bond to be temporary or permanent?

  • Will the product be used outdoors or indoors?

  • What type of temperatures will the product be subjected to?

  • Do I need the product to be moisture or solvent resistant?

  • Do I need the product to be ultraviolet or chemical resistant?

  • Will the product be subject to any unusual loads or stresses?
