The proper preparation.
Basics of a solid bond.
 | Clean any dirt, rust, remains of paint and any other extraneous materials from the surfaces. |
 | Roughen the surfaces by abrasion. |
 | Thoroughly remove any grease from the surfaces, using acetone, alcohol or white spirit. |
 | Let surfaces dry. |
 | Do not touch prepared surfaces, to avoid the transfer of skin oils. |
 | Apply the adhesive in a thin, even layer (when using contact adhesives, observe open time). |
 | Keep dirt and dust away from the surfaces to which the adhesive has just been applied. |
 | Stop any grinding work until the parts have been assembled. |
