Surface Prep — Metal (Steel / Aluminium)

  • 1Degrease with isopropyl alcohol or acetone immediately before bonding — oils from handling prevent adhesion.
  • 2Abrade the bonding surface with 80-grit sandpaper for maximum bite.
  • 3Aluminium develops an oxide layer rapidly — sand and bond within 30 minutes.
  • 4Avoid bonding galvanised steel with construction adhesives unless the adhesive specifically supports it.
