DIRECTIONS:
- Apply: Apply a thin, even coat of Mean Green Long Tack to both surfaces you intend to bond.

- Bond: Once tacky, align the coated surfaces and press them together firmly.
- Cure: Do not disturb the bond until it’s complete. The full Bonding Time (or Dry Time) can be up to 40 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity.
- * Note: In higher temperatures, the dry time will be significantly accelerated, potentially reducing it to as little as 5–10 minutes.
PRO TIP: Use Tip 6501 with our adjustable spray gun to ensure best results.
By following these steps, you can effectively apply MEAN GREEN adhesive for secure and durable bonding.
