Application of Adhesives
Step 1
> Mark off elastomer (friction cover) and polyamide areas (traction layer and intermediate fabric layers) with fine straight lines running parallel to the cutting edge (ball point pen or pencil).
> Mark limit between Fixol and Vulcol always just within the area of pure polyamide fabric. Fixol does not stick elastomer.
> Use spatula or brush. Coat evenly and THINLY indicated elastomer areas (friction cover) of BOTH skived surfaces with Vulcol (see sketch). Avoid applying Vulcol twice.
> Allow to dry for about 5 min.
> Use an acid-resistant brush. Coat evenly and THINLY the indicated polyamide area (traction layer and one of both intermediate fabric layers) of BOTH skived surfaces with Fixol (see sketch).
> Rub in with brush (on traction layer only) until Fixol becomes tacky.
> The adhesives must exactly cover the prescribed surfaces. Put skived surfaces accurately on top of each other at the first attempt. Vulcol sticks on contact!
> Close adhesive containers well.
