Technical Data

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.
