Customer asked questions

Question: I am building a teardrop caravan with plywood. I would like to attach Lamilux Super 1000 extra gelcoat panels to the sides with glue.

What product or method do you recommend?

Answer:The A5045 2 Part PU Kit (this adhesive kit) would be suited to the panelling you mention (Gelcoat), but it would be advisable to yourself to try to ascertain from your supplier if the product you are to use has been through a Corona treatment application before you attempt to bond.

The panelling has a low surface energy & this method of treatment enables a better level of adhesion with any adhesive application giving better bonding results.

Kit contains

Caravan Panel Repair Adhesive A5045 is supplied in a 7.5kg kit consisting of:

  • 1 x 5 litre pail containing 6.3kg of Part A adhesive
  • 1 x Conical can containing 1.2kg of Part B curing agent

How To Apply this adhesive kit

All you need is the kit as supplied and your preferred method of application, such as a trowel or spatula. You’ll need to mix the amounts as provided below, then apply to the required area.

  • By weight: 5.25 parts of adhesive A to 1 part of agent B

Place fresh or refurbished aluminium sheet in position and hold there using a press, or clamps and battens for at least 6 hours (extremely cold conditions may extend cure time considerably).

The adhesive will then have set-up sufficiently to hold the panel in position, but full cure will require up to 24 hours. Do not mix more adhesive than is required for the area to be bonded. The pot life of a 100 gram mix is 90 minutes, but a 1 litre mix will thicken in considerably less time (about 45 minutes).

Surface preparation / priming

  1. Remove the damaged aluminium facing
  2. Ensure that both surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust and contamination

  4. The adhesive will then have set-up sufficiently to hold the panel in position, but full cure will require up to 24 hours. Do not mix more adhesive than is required for the area to be bonded.
