How to use this product

• Before applying the Araldite mixture, all surfaces MUST be thoroughly clean and dry.
• All traces of grease, rust paint, etc. should be removed.
• For best results smooth surfaces should be roughened by mechanical abrasion after solvent cleaning.
• Onto a clean, disposable surface (e.g. polyethylene or cardboard), dispense equal volumes of Part A and Part B. Thoroughly mix together with a spatula, nail or stick. When using the tubes it is essential to use the correct mixing ratio, i.e. 1 part each
• Apply adhesive immediately to both surfaces and press together. Clamping is necessary while bond sets over 6-8 hours. Scrape off excess adhesive and wipe mixing utensils immediately.
• When using tubes, Ensure correct caps are replaced on each tube or they will harden

Handy tips

• For maximum working time, mix in small quantities. Large quantities accelerate the curing process and reduce working time.
• To extend product life replace caps immediately after use. Ensure you wipe excess from nozzle with a tissue dipped in acetone (or nail polish remover) before replacing cap.
• When using the tube variant, ensure you replace the correct cap on the correct tube. Placing the wrong cap on the wrong tube will cause the tube to harden. (lids and tubes are colour coded to help)
• Wipe off any uncured araldite with acetone or nail polish remover.
• To remove product after cure, mechanical action (scraping or sanding) is recommended. Since the product is chemically resistant solvent will NOT dissolve this product.
• To reposition the bond once cured, check that the item is heat resistant. If safe, heat the item slowly, e.g. in an oven, to at least 150oC. The product will soften and liquify slightly. Scrape off any excess then reposition the joint carefully using appropriate safety equipment. Allow the item to cool down in the correct position. The product will reharden once returned to room temperature.
• Clamping recommended for a stronger bond.
• For cleaning surfaces prior to application of adhesive, if the surface is porous, we would reccomend using Selleys Liquid Sugar Soap. If the surfact is non-porous eg glass or metal, firstly clean the surface with Methylated Spirits. If there is old difficult to remove residue such as oold paint, we recommend using paint stripper such as Selleys Kwik Strip Smart. Ensure the surface is dry before applying the product.
• A useful solvent to clean up epoxy and polyester resins BEFORE they are cured can be prepared by mixing 2 parts toluene with 1 part alcohol (eg methylated spirits or denatured alcohol).

Safety tips

• Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
• Avoid breathing vapour.
• Do not use solvents near eyes or open wounds.
• In case of contact with eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
• Non toxic when set.
• For further information refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Storage and re-use

• Ensure caps are replaced and product stored in a cool dry place.

Hendra Hardware was established in May 1982 and has grown along with the amazing community that surrounds it. Open 7 days a week, our iconic bricks and mortar store (Hardwood and chamferboard in our case) has been a pillar within the Hendra community.

Providing that true blue service, we aim to create an experience for our customers, each and every time they visit. Due to the dedication and commitment of our store manager Dean Cuss, and his team, Hendra Hardware continues to withstand the test of time. With over 100 years of cumulative hardware experience, we are confident that you will walk away with the best solution in hand and the right advice. There is not one task too great or too small; we are the problem solvers, the advice givers, the knowledge bank. If we don’t have it, we will make every effort to find it, locally when we can. In the rare instance where we cannot source it, we can usually point you in the direction of another local business that can. We donate to, and support, various groups within our community and we will take the time to get to know your name.

VISION

Our vision is to help build a better community by forming trusting relationships and creating an iconic experience that reinforces in our customers minds that there is a strong point of difference when supporting smaller, local, independent businesses. By aligning ourselves with a strong independent buying group like Mitre10, we enabled ourselves to help pave the path of independence for future generations and protect diversity within the consumer market. The hardware industry has invested in many sustainability initiatives to reduce our carbon foot print on our environment already and continues to encourage growth in this area.

History

From our original building, one-third of its current size, through the opening and closing of our sister store in Racecourse Rd Hamilton, the SEQEB power dispute in 1985, the relocation of the horse stables, the outbreak of the Hendra virus in 1994, not to mention the hail storms and floods…. We have survived.

Everything we do and offer comes from decades of experience and ensuring we provide that personal touch. In 1994 Hendra Hardware’s alignment with the Mitre10 group secured a better foundation for the business through superior branding, stronger marketing and increased buying power.

In 2010 the store’s founder Chris Davies mentioned his plans to retire and move on to greener pastures to the property owners – the Pinkey family. Alan Pinkey who opened Pinkey’s Convenience store back in the 1970’s and his son Matthew saw an opportunity to ensure the survival of this local icon and the deal was struck. Since then with Matthew at the helm the store has, and continues to, grow and diversify to meet the expanding needs of the local community as well as strive to ensure the future of the business
