when glue is applied. Very little catalyst is needed. Lift the brush
cap out and wipe excess on lip of bottle. Use just enough catalyst
to wet gage surface. Before proceeding, allow catalyst to dry at
least one minute under normal ambient conditions of + 75F and
30-65% relative humidity.
NOTE: The next three steps must be completed in sequence
within 3 – 5 seconds. Read through instructions before
proceeding so there will be no delays.
Have Ready:
M-Bond (Cyanoacrylate) Adhesive
2” – 5” piece of teflon tape
Tissues
MOUNTING THE GAGE
9. Lift the leading edge of the tape and apply a thin bead of
adhesive at the gage end where the tape meets the shaft.
Adhesive should be of thin consistency to allow even spreading.
Extend the line of glue outside the gage installation area.
10. Holding the tape taut, slowly and firmly press with a single wiping
stroke over the tape using a teflon strip (to protect your thumb
from the adhesive) and a tissue (to absorb excess adhesive that
squeezes out from under the tape). This will bring the gage back
down over the alignment marks on the gaging area. This forces
the glue line to move up and across the gage area. A very thin,
uniform layer of adhesive is desired for optimum bond
performance.
11. Immediately, using your thumb, apply firm pressure to the taped
gage by rolling your thumb over the gage area. Hold the pressure
for at least one minute. In low humidity conditions (below 30%) or
if ambient temperature is below + 70 F, pressure application time
may have to be extended to several minutes.
12. Leave the mylar tape on an additional five minutes to allow total
drying then slowly peel the tape back directly over itself, holding it
close to the shaft while peeling. This will prevent damage to the
gages. It is not necessary to remove the tape immediately after
installation. It offers some protection for the gaged surface and
may be left until wiring the gage.
