Default RE: Applying Ultracote on Ultracote

ORIGINAL: SeamusG


I have tested ultracote-on-ultracote using Monokote Trim Solvent. TS definitely activates ultracote's adhesive creating a tenacious bond.

SeamusG, can you please explain your technique in getting a "tenacious bond" when using trim solvent to apply Ultracote to Ultracote ?? I would agree that trim solvent definitely reacts with Ultracote's adhesive but it definitely does not create a "tenacious" bond....In fact, it creates a VERY POOR BOND if anything that can easily be peeled off even after letting the test piece "set" for 48 hrs !! Looks like to me that the adhesive remains very tacky and will not cure, which would explain the lack of adequate bonding........

Now, Monokote on Monokote using trim solvent ?? Different animal........ even after just a few minutes after application, the bond is outstanding. I can only imagine what it would be like after 24 hrs !!

Please let us know your secret !!!
