Within your tub of multi-purpose adhesive is a smaller container of hardener which should be mixed with the adhesive at a ratio of 10:1. We highly recommend using mechanical assistance when mixing the two compounds. This can be done via a cordless hand drill with the appropriate attachment or on a larger scale using a paddle mixer.
Poorly mixed adhesives will remain soft and not cure correctly and it is for this reason that we highly recommend making sure the sides and bottom of your tub have been properly mixed together.
It is important to remember that mixed adhesives should NEVER be applied to wet surfaces as this interrupts the curing process and could potentially create a poor, under-developed bond.
Once applied the bonding adhesive will take between 2 and 24 hours to cure depending upon the temperature and will reach maximum strength within 4 days (96 hours). Please find below a curing time table for the PermaLawn 5kg Multi-Purpose Adhesive:
| Ambient temperature | Curing time |
| 5 degrees Celsius | 24 hours |
| 10 degrees Celsius | 12 hours |
| 20 degrees Celsius | 4 hours |
| 30 degrees Celsius | 2 hours |
It is important to remember that mixed adhesives should NEVER be applied to wet surfaces as this interrupts the curing process and could potentially create a poor, under-developed bond.
WARNING
When using PermaLawn's multi-purpose adhesive and hardener you should always observe and follow the correct safety instructions that are provided on the containers. You should always avoid contact with skin, eyes or any exposed areas. PermaLawn's multi-purpose adhesive is a 100% liquid isocyanate, commonly referred to as 'elastic adhesives' due to there incredible elasticity before the point of fracture (in some cases as much as 600%).
