    Direction of use

    Before applying, the surface should be prepared clean and even, free from dust, loose shavings, oil and grease. Apply RAK Wood either by brush or brush pressure feeding equipment to a uniform coat. If the surfaces are all end-grain and very porous, apply a second coat, after allowing first to dry. Allow few minutes then assemble the surface. Apply pressure, no heavy clamping necessary. Normal hand pressure or standard clamping is sucient to give a strong bond. Setting time varies for surfaces from 20 minutes to 3 hours depending on thickness of layers of adhesives, wood type, moisture and temperature. Excess adhesive peeling o from sides can be easily cleaned with wet damp cloth, before setting.
