Questions about this item

Will the 4 oz can bond my neoprene gasket to the metal flange without a separate primer?

Yes, the S-18 neoprene formula bonds rubber compounds directly to metals, and the manufacturer highlights rubber-to-metal as a common use.

Can I use this adhesive on the existing cured contact cement left on my headliner board?

The product bonds both porous and non-porous materials, so it will adhere to the cured layer as a non-porous surface.

How do I know the bond has reached full strength after clamping?

Full cure is reached after 24 hours; the film then delivers the stated peel strength and oil resistance.
