How long does it take for glass glue to solidify? What is the glass glue bonding process?

When most items are connected, glue is used. The main effect of glue is to stick things together. However, there are many types of glue, so it is difficult for people who are not familiar with glue to choose glue. In fact, among the many types of glue, some types can be used in many places, such as glass glue. So how long does it take for glass glue to solidify? What is the glass glue bonding process?

The surface drying time of neutral glass glue is about 2 hours, and the surface solidification time of acidic glass glue is about 30 minutes. However, if it is completely dry, the drying time of neutral glass glue is about 48 hours, and the drying time of acidic glass glue is about 24 hours.

1. Adhesion time: The curing process of silicone glue is from the outside to the inside. The surface drying time and curing time of silicone glue with different characteristics are not the same.
If you want to repair the surface, you must do it before the glass glue dries (acid glue, neutral transparent glue should generally be within 5-10 minutes, neutral variegated glue should generally be within 30 minutes). If you use color separation paper to cover a certain place, after applying the glue, it must be removed before the outer skin is formed.
2. Curing time: The curing time of glass glue increases with the increase of bonding thickness. For example, 12mm thick acid glass glue may take 3-4 days to solidify, but within about 24 hours, 3mm of the outer layer has been cured.
What is the glass glue bonding process?
1. Use: One-component silicone glass glue can be used immediately. It is easy to use a glue gun to shoot it out of the glue bottle, and its surface can be trimmed with a spatula or wood chips.
2. Adhesion time: The curing process of silicone glue develops from the surface to the inside. The surface drying time and curing time of silicone glue with different characteristics are not the same. Therefore, if the surface needs to be repaired, it must be done before the glass glue dries (acid glue, neutral transparent glue should generally be within 5-10 minutes, and neutral variegated glue should generally be within 30 minutes). If color separation paper is used to cover a certain place, after applying the glue, it must be removed before the outer skin is formed.
3. Curing time: The curing time of glass glue increases with the increase of bonding thickness. For example, 12mm thick acid glass glue may take 3-4 days to solidify, but within about 24 hours, the outer layer of 3mm has been cured. When bonding glass, metal or most wood, it has an anti-peel strength of 20 pounds/inch after 72 hours at room temperature.
If the place where the glass glue is used is partially or completely closed, then the curing time is determined by the tightness of the sealing. In an absolutely closed place, it is possible to remain uncured forever. If the temperature is increased, the glass glue will become soft. The gap between metal and metal bonding surfaces should not exceed 25mm. In various bonding occasions, including closed situations, the bonding effect should be fully checked before the equipment is used after bonding. During the curing process, the acid glass glue will produce a smell due to the volatilization of acetic acid. This smell will disappear during the curing process and there will be no odor after curing.
4. Bonding: A. Clean the metal and plastic surfaces completely, remove oil stains, and then rinse the entire surface of the plastic with acetone. The rubber surface should be polished with sandpaper and then wiped with acetone. When using acetone, please follow the precautions for using this solvent. B. Apply the glass glue evenly on the surface of the prepared object. If two surfaces are to be bonded together, one side can be placed first, and then the other side can be squeezed with enough force to squeeze out the air.
