Instructions:

GETTING STARTED:
Hold bottle upright to drain glue from the upper spout back into the bottle, before opening. Cut 1/16 off the end of the spout. To increase flow, cut spout tip off an additional 1/16" until desired flow is obtained. Note: once opened, do not plug the hole with pins etc. when storing. This increases the likelihood of future clogging. The spout should be sealed with the special snap-on overcap. Anything put into the spout has trace moisture on it and causes these glues to cure. Keep bottle upright when not in use.

HOT STUFF™ and new UFO™ Odorless 'THIN'
Assemble the parts first. All alignment will be done before HOT STUFF™ is applied. With the parts aligned and held firmly together, apply a small amount of HOT STUFF™ to the joint or crack. The size of the part and it's porosity play an important role in knowing how much to apply. HOT STUFF™ cure time is five seconds between tightly fitting non-porous parts.

SUPER 'T'™
Apply SUPER 'T'™ in a spiral pattern to one part, assemble and align parts, then hold firmly for 10 to 25 seconds.

SPECIAL 'T' ™and new UFO™ Odorless 'THICK'
These are very thick glues with greater gap-filling capabilities and have a slower rate of cure than SUPER 'T'™ making it possible to bond parts which fit very poorly (limited contact area). Because the rates of cure are so slow (50 - 60 seconds), many seconds of alignment time are possible after joining the parts. The amount of time varies, of course, with the material being bonded. Apply SPECIAL 'T'™ or UFO™ Odorless 'THICK' in a spiral pattern to one part, assemble and align parts, then hold firmly for 50 to 60 seconds. Using NCF™-Quick reduces cure time to 5 to 10 seconds and, at the same time increases the strength, depending on the material.

NCF™-Quick, NCF Hot, NCF Mild, & SPRAY'N CURE™
Use NCF™-Quick or SPRAY'N CURE™ accelerators with HOT STUFF™, UFO™ Odorless 'THIN', SUPER 'T'™, SPECIAL 'T'™ and UFO™ Odorless 'THICK'. Important: NCF™-Quick when sprayed on a surface or object, dries instantly and leaves no visible residue. Don't try to keep area wet.  Excess spray may have an adverse effect on the material sprayed.  SPRAY'N CURE™ evaporates slowly, allow 50 to 60 seconds(at room temperature) for complete drying of SPRAY'N CURE™.

1) For small parts, spray NCF™-Quick or SPRAY'N CURE™ lightly on one part, assemble parts and apply HOT STUFF™and new UFO™ Odorless 'THIN' to the crack or joint. For larger bond areas, assemble parts first, apply HOT STUFF™ and new UFO™ Odorless 'THIN' to all sides, then spray NCF™-Quick on the crack or joint where HOT STUFF™ or UFO™ Odorless 'THIN' was applied and wherever glue appears along the edges. NCF™-Quick and SPRAY'N CURE™ make curing really fast, so, keep in mind that penetration is lessened as cure speed gets faster.

2) Very large areas are best bonded using SUPER 'T'™ or SPECIAL 'T'™ or UFO™ Odorless 'THICK'. First check the fit of parts to be bonded to see that they line up as you desire. This is important because bonding time is reduced. Spray NCF™-Quick or SPRAY'N CURE™ on one part and set aside. Apply SUPER 'T'™ or SPECIAL 'T'™ or UFO™ Odorless 'THICK' to the other part in a spiral pattern. The more porous the material, the tighter the pattern should be as some "soaking-in" may occur. Assemble and align parts then hold firmly for ten seconds. Never directly apply any of the HOT STUFF™ glues to an area which has been sprayed with NCF™-Quick or SPRAY'N CURE™, curing will begin too quickly for a good bond to be made. When working in temperatures below 50º F and for hard to bond materials, use NCF™-Quick or SPRAY'N CURE™ with all HOT STUFF™ glues. If too much NCF™-Quick or SPRAY'N CURE™ is sprayed on wet glue, cure is too rapid and glue may appear to foam up or turn white. If this occurs, use less accelerator. A light spritz is all that is necessary.

Never Mix Glue & Accelerator in the same container!

SUPER SOLVENT
Use Super Solvent as a solvent for Hot Stuff instant glues.

1) To open- puncture tip with safety pin

2) To remove glue from skin- Wet a soft cloth with solvent and apply to glue for 30 seconds. Wipe clean. Repeat as necessary. Wash with soap and water

3) To break existing bonds- Apply solvent directly to bond. Repeat at one-two minute intervals until bond can be separated with gentle force.

4) To remove glue from surfaces or fabric- Apply solvent to glue. After one minute, apply again and rub gently with soft cloth. Repeat until glue is removed. Wash with soap and water.

Note: US-1 may discolor fabric or paint finishes. You should always test on a sample or inconspicuous area before usage.

 

STORAGE:

 All glues have a shelf life.  Accelerators and our debonder are not subject to a shelf life.

Shelf lives vary depending on glue bottle quantity as follows:

------------------- at Room Temperature -------------------
1/4 oz 6 months
1/2 oz 9 months
1 oz 11 months
2 oz Over 1 year
1/4 lb Well over 1 year

LONG TERM STORAGE:
Place new, UNOPENED bottles in the freezer at or below 32ƒ to DOUBLE shelf life. Store used bottles at room temperature. This is because used bottles contain air from your workroom and that air contains moisture which condenses to water reducing shelf life. Always keep bottles upright when not in use. NCF-M™, NCF™ need no special storage except to avoid high temperatures (Store below 80ƒ and keep original cap tightly screwed on).
