Clean-up:
Clean excess glue immediately with mineral spirits. Cured adhesive may be cut away with caution using a sharp blade. Prolonged immersion
in paint stripper will soften the cured adhesive to aid removal.
Not damaged by freezing. If frozen, warm to room temperature until the resin and hardener become liquid enough to mix. Use an approved
hazardous waste facility for disposal.
