Frequently Asked Questions RooClear™
Can I bond melamine to melamine with RooClear™?
Yes, this can be done if the area is relatively small. In a larger area, the glue dries from the outside, creating a seal that doesn't allow the center to dry. For large areas contact Roo for assistance. RooTac™
What advantages does RooTac™ have over other water based contacts?
RooTac™ has relatively high solids which allows the user to apply a light coat (~2mils). This concurrently reduces accompanying dry time. What is the dry time and open time for RooTac™?
RooTac™, when applied at 2mils, will normally dry in 5-10 minutes at 70°F. Substrates coated with RooTac™ are capable of bonding after 24 hours. RooWood™
How does RooWood™ compare with other wood glues on the market?
RooWood™ is an aliphatic PVA glue which tests equal to other popular wood glues. It often excels in tack and cure time. Storage
What precautions should be taken for storage?
