1. Hand-brushing glue 
 

【Precautions】 
1. Remove surface contaminants and loose layers that may interfere with bonding; 
2. The bonded areas should have good fit and a certain degree of smoothness; they must not have significant unevenness or irregularities. 
3. During the bonding process, the humidity of both the bonded components and the work area must be strictly controlled; generally, the relative humidity should not exceed 70%. 
4. When applying aluminum-plastic panels, fire-retardant boards, or other dense materials over large areas, several vent holes must be drilled into the substrate. 
5. When used outdoors in summer, if the construction environment is normal and the board temperature exceeds 70℃, we recommend using our high-temperature-resistant products. 
6. During construction, maintain a good ventilation system, strictly prohibit smoking and open flames, keep away from sources of ignition, and prevent static electricity from causing fires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Possible issue

Solution

The viscosity is too high, and the adhesive layer contains air.

The adhesive environment temperature is too high.

Insufficient pressure during bonding.

Properly extend the drying time.

Apply glue evenly and in multiple coats (2-3 layers).

Dry or bake the object to be bonded before use.

Heat it or dilute it with toluene, ethyl acetate, or other solvents before applying the adhesive.

Keep the construction environment well-ventilated and dry.

Increase the pressure of application.

Cracking or blistering of the adhesive layer

Insufficient glue application (glue shortage)

When bonding, if the pressure is too high, the adhesive will be squeezed out.

The viscosity of the all-purpose glue is too low, causing insufficient glue application.

Need to pre-match and test.

【Bonding Operation Process】

Depending on the specific bonding requirements, apply the adhesive evenly to the surfaces of the materials to be bonded using methods such as brush coating, knife spreading, roller coating, or screen-printing. Bonding can be carried out once the adhesive film feels dry to the touch—meaning that no adhesive strands are left behind when your finger is lifted from the adhesive surface. Typically, the initial bonding time is about 15 minutes, with the optimal bonding time ranging from 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the ambient temperature and humidity during application). After bonding, applying moderate pressure will further enhance the bond strength!

 

2. Spray adhesive 
 

【Precautions】 
I. Precautions for Spraying 
1. The spray painting workshop should be isolated from other workshops, and operating workers should wear protective equipment. 
2. During spraying, the spray gun should move uniformly, without accumulating glue or leaving any areas uncoated. 
3. For spraying, ensure the adhesive layer evenly covers the material at a rate of 12 square meters per kilogram; the adhesive layer should not be too thick. 
4. Double-sided spraying delivers the best adhesion effect; 
5. When the spray gun is not in use, please clean it thoroughly. 
6. Electrostatic prevention, workshop ventilation 

II. Electrostatic Prevention 
1. Maintain good ventilation at the operation site to reduce the concentration of volatile gases (which are flammable) emitted by adhesives. 
2. At the operation site, frequently spray water to maintain an appropriate temperature and reduce static electricity generation. (Generally, static electricity will not occur when the air humidity is 78% or the temperature is 23°C ± 3°C.) 
3. Place humidifiers in areas where large quantities of sponges and spring packs are stored to reduce the generation of static electricity in the materials. 
4. Operators should wear cotton clothing and avoid wearing synthetic fabrics or shoes with metal studs. 
5. Operators should press both hands against the wall or floor every 30 minutes to discharge static electricity from the body, or wear an anti-static wrist strap to reduce static buildup on the body. 
6. When handling, stacking, or covering foam or spring mattresses, handle them gently and avoid friction, rolling, or banging to minimize the generation of static electricity. 
7. During the final step of bonding the sponge or spring pocket, seal from one side toward the other, avoiding completely covering it in one go. This allows for the volatilization of gases from the adhesive. Also, be sure not to tap or bump the bonded area to prevent static electricity sparks. 
8. To effectively prevent static electricity-induced fires, customers are advised to use flame-retardant materials and flame-retardant adhesives. 
9. The operating workshop must be equipped with sufficient fire-fighting equipment. 
10. It is recommended that customers provide employees with regular fire safety training and fire drills. 

3. The workshop must be well-ventilated. 
As we enter the autumn and winter seasons, the air becomes dry, and changes in weather conditions can affect chemical products—especially spray adhesives. Domestic soft-furniture companies generally face similar issues: workshop doors and windows are tightly sealed, collective heating systems are in operation, and airflow within the workshops is poor. As a result, the odor of spray adhesives intensifies, and the adhesives take longer to dry. In fact, the root cause of these problems lies in the absence of ventilation systems or inadequate ventilation.

Advantages of smooth ventilation:

After adhesive is sprayed, there’s a volatilization process. Smooth ventilation can help reduce the adhesive odor in the workshop.

Smooth ventilation allows harmful substances from adhesive volatiles to be quickly exhausted outdoors, thereby reducing their concentration.

Smooth ventilation can reduce the concentration of flammable substances, thereby lowering the likelihood of static electricity-induced ignition and helping to prevent fires.

Smooth ventilation facilitates rapid drying of the adhesive after spraying, improves work efficiency, and enhances bonding performance.

Disadvantages of poor ventilation

The adhesive odor fails to dissipate effectively, leading to an increase in odors in the workshop.

Poor ventilation may lead to excessive levels of harmful substances.

Poor ventilation and excessive concentrations of flammable substances can easily trigger fires.

Poor ventilation causes the adhesive to dry slowly, thereby reducing work efficiency and affecting bonding performance.

II. Effects of Poor Spraying 
The adhesive layer is too thin, which can easily lead to insufficient adhesion. 
If the adhesive layer is too thick, it will increase costs, slow down the drying speed, cause adhesive buildup, and compromise bonding quality. 
Uneven application of the adhesive layer can lead to issues such as adhesive buildup, insufficient adhesive coverage, and partial delamination after bonding.

【Bonding Operation Process】

Step 1: Install and activate the ventilation system at the construction site, and open doors and windows to ensure adequate ventilation on site. 
Step 2: Before construction, check whether the spray gun is functioning properly and drain any accumulated water from the air pressure lines. 
Step 3: The material surface must be thoroughly cleaned and free of grease, dust, or any other impurities. 
Step 4: Spray evenly onto the material surface using the nozzle; 
Step 5: After even spraying, allow 1–5 minutes before bonding (or until the adhesive layer no longer sticks to your hands). 
Step 6: Applying moderate pressure during bonding will enhance the bonding effect. 

Straight-line configuration: The nozzle should be positioned at a 45-degree angle to the material surface; it is best to keep the nozzle within 0.5 meters of the material surface; the spray gun’s air pressure should be adjusted to the standard requirement of 6–8 kilograms. 
Fan Shape: The nozzle should be perpendicular to the material surface, emitting a uniform fan-shaped mist of adhesive with a fan angle of approximately 45 degrees.
