It does not crack during use, allows you to conveniently use a repaired or glued item, and gives it a neat and high-quality appearance.

Safety precautions when working with superglue

There are a number of safety rules that are followed when working with adhesive solutions:

Clothing protection. Experts recommend using superglue with rubber gloves to prevent it from getting on your skin.
Ventilation. If work is carried out indoors, you will have to open the windows so that the unpleasant smell of glue disappears faster.
Proper use of the tube. When applying superglue, the tube with the solution is directed downwards. In this case, it is recommended to cover your face with your hand so that the glue does not accidentally get on your face.

Negative sides

Moment rubber adhesive, classic, universal or any other, has not only a lot of advantages and positive qualities, but also several disadvantages:

There are quite a lot of fakes that contain harmful and toxic components.
The presence of a specific odor.
The difficulty of cleaning the skin from glue that has accidentally fallen on its surface and has had time to dry.

It is important to know! Any type of Moment glue is not capable of connecting polypropylene and polyethylene to each other due to the peculiarities of the chemical composition.

Application area

Moment glue has a wide range of applications. This can be the solution to trivial problems such as gluing a broken pen, fixing shoes, or the implementation of global goals - decorating the interiors of rooms, assembling furniture, or even carrying out construction work.

Mode of application

It is recommended to prepare the surface before using the glue. It is necessary to remove dust from the porous base, and it is advisable to treat the smooth base with sandpaper. In addition, it is very important to thoroughly degrease the surface. This can be done using acetone. Moment glue should be applied in a thin layer to the surface as quickly as possible. This is especially true for the second preparation. If the gluing surface is large, it is recommended to first drop the glue onto the base and then spread it with a disposable brush.

When a thing is glued, it is important to leave it alone so that the Moment can adhere to the surface as effectively as possible. If we are talking about super glue, then the resting time should not be less than 24 hours. In addition, you should not engage in dusty work, since even the slightest particles can spoil the final result.

When applying glue you need to be extremely careful and careful. After setting, it will no longer be possible to correct the position, so you need to correct the gluing in the first fractions of a second. When using a weight for more effective traction, you need to consider not only the time it is held, but also its weight. In addition, when working with Moment glue, you need to protect your eyes and respiratory organs from contact with the substance.

Storage conditions

For all types of Moment glue there are general and basic storage rules:

The storage period should not exceed 2 years.
Can be stored at temperatures from -20 to +30 degrees.
The composition is highly flammable, so it is necessary to ensure storage away from open flames and heating devices.

But you should also always pay attention to the packaging and study the detailed storage conditions for a particular variety.
