Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is vitally important for the long-term performance of Taurus TR9.
The surface should be clean and rough.
Prepare with mechanical cleaning with rotating wire brush.
Clean with solvents (acetone, xylene, alcohol, or MEK) and a cloth. It is not necessary to apply a primer, Taurus TR9 is applied directly to the rubber or metal.
Mixing
Mix the activator well in the base with the mixing rod scraping the sides and the bottom of the container. Mix by weight, 9 parts Base to 1 part of Activator. Mix thoroughly to produce a uniform and without stripes. Never put solvents.
Application
Use a heavy plastic brush or putty knife to apply a minimum thickness of 3mm. Work the material in the substrate profile to achieve maximum adhesive and remove any trapped air. Contour to correct the shape with putty knife material or plastic applicator. If mold is used, make sure to coat its surface with a release to prevent adhesion of the material.
