Glues and Finishing products.

Aerolite UP4145.  1 kg pack.
One-Shot Urea Formaldehyde Resin Powder Glue.
Pre-catslyesed resin provides a gap-filling, water resistant adhesive. Use for laminating bamboo strips and building cork handles.

Mixing.
Mix Aerolite UP 4145 powder resin with water as follows:           Parts by weight          Parts by volume.
Aerolite 4145             2                                         3.5
Water                           1                                          1.0

Use a dry container, preferably non-metallic, and add water to the powder gradually, stirring to ensure the powder is evenly dispersed. Continue to stir until the solution is free from lumps. The adhesive is then ready for use. To ensure that consistent glue mixes with the correct properties are obtained , mixing by weight is strongly recommended. Addition of too much water will seriously reduce the rate of setting, particularly at lower temperatures.
