INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE
Follow these step-by-step directions when using Amazing GOOP Plumbing:
Read directions and test small area before use.
1. Surface should be clean, dry, and free from dirt. For best results, roughen surface before use.
2. Puncture seal in neck of tube using pointer cap. Product can be used between 50 and 90 °F / 10 and 32 °C.
3.
Apply directly to each surface to be bonded or repaired. Allow to
partially cure approximately 2 minutes before mating surfaces. Hardens
by solvent evaporation and forms an immediate bond that is difficult to
reposition after both adhesive-coated surfaces are placed in contact
with each other and sufficient pressure is exerted to establish full
contact.
4. Allow repair to cure for 24 hours. Depending on
materials and temperature, maximum strength may not be reached for 48 to
72 hours.
5. For future easy cap removal, apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the threads of the tube before replacing the cap.
6. Clean uncured adhesive with acetone or citrus-based solvents. Cured material may be removed by cutting or scraping.
FAQS
How long does Amazing GOOP take to dry?
A
full cure takes 24 to 72 hours, depending on the surrounding
environment. With lower temperatures and higher humidity, cure time
increases; with higher temperatures, cure time decreases. To speed
drying time, apply heat using a handheld dryer set on low. Hold dryer at
least 6 inches from the surface.
How can Amazing GOOP be cleaned up?
Small
amounts of acetone or citrus-based solvents may be used on uncured
adhesive; the adhesive will ball up and brush off. Cured adhesive may be
removed by cutting or scraping.
Is Amazing GOOP water resistant?
Yes.
Amazing GOOP is water resistant immediately upon application. Apply
Amazing GOOP directly to the surface to be sealed. Use thin coats of
Amazing GOOP to build a thick coating on the surface to be sealed,
allowing each layer to set 3 to 4 hours. This is especially ideal for
smooth surfaces, such as plastic, glass or ceramic. Amazing GOOP hardens
by solvent evaporation, so allow time for thorough hardening to ensure
proper bonding and wear resistance.
What temperature range does Amazing GOOP withstand?
Amazing
GOOP is best when applied in temperatures ranging from 50 °F to 90 °F
(10 °C to 32 °C). (Note: Amazing GOOP can be applied outside this
temperature range, but cure time may increase significantly.) Once
cured, Amazing GOOP can withstand temperatures between -40 °F and 150 °F
(-40 °C to 66 °C).
Can the included applicator tip be reused?
Yes. The tips are made of a special non-stick plastic. Allow Amazing GOOP to dry, then pull it out through the threaded end.
