Furthermore, the product can be used where a more significant gap - up to 5mm - is involved. Loctite 3090, which can be used on a variety of substrates, including plastic, rubber, wood, stone, leather, fabric or metal, is capable of withstanding a force of some 20N/mm2. Application is easy, as the adhesive contains a dual syringe with seven mixer nozzles. These syringes ens...
