The Goop 10.2 fl oz Clear Amazing Goop Marine Adhesive (172012) is a highly effective and versatile adhesive specifically designed for marine and outdoor applications. It offers a powerful, permanent bond that is both flexible and completely waterproof, making it ideal for items exposed to harsh conditions such as sunlight, water, and extreme temperatures. This adhesive dries to a clear finish, ensuring a discreet repair, and its resistance to UV rays prevents yellowing or cracking over time. Whether you're mending gear, sealing leaks, or bonding various materials, Amazing Goop Marine provides a reliable and long-lasting solution that stands up to the rigors of outdoor use.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• UV Resistance: Specially formulated to resist the damaging effects of sunlight, preventing the adhesive from yellowing or cracking. This ensures the bond remains clear and strong even with prolonged outdoor exposure.
• Waterproof Bond: Creates a secure and lasting seal that is completely impervious to water. This makes it perfect for applications where items will be submerged or consistently exposed to moisture, such as marine equipment.
• Flexible Hold: Maintains its flexibility even in a wide range of extreme temperatures. This property allows the bond to flex with the materials it joins, making it resistant to vibrations and movement without breaking.
• Dries Clear: The adhesive cures to a transparent finish, ensuring that repairs are neat and inconspicuous, maintaining the aesthetic of the original item.
• Paintable: Once fully cured, the adhesive surface can be painted, allowing for seamless integration with painted surfaces or for color matching a repair.
• Versatile Material Bonding: Effectively bonds to an extensive variety of materials, including vinyl, rubber, glass, wood, metal, canvas, leather, brick, and various plastics, offering a wide range of repair possibilities.
• Temperature Adaptability: Functions effectively when applied in temperatures between 50°F and 90°F (10°C and 32°C) and, once fully cured, can withstand intermittent temperatures ranging from -40°F to 180°F (-40°C to 82°C).

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Volume: 10.2 oz (ounce)
• Color: Clear (dries clear)
• Dielectric Strength: 400 V/mil
• Elongation: 900%
• Hardness: 80 A
• Tensile Strength: 3,500 psi
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to dilute bases and acids
• Includes: Typically sold as a single tube/cartridge of adhesive with a cap/pointer for puncturing the seal

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Before beginning, thoroughly read all instructions. It is recommended to test the adhesive on a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure that the surfaces to be bonded or repaired are completely clean, dry, and free from any dirt or debris. For a stronger bond, lightly roughen the surface before application.
2. Application Conditions: Puncture the seal in the neck of the tube using the pointed cap. The product should be applied when the ambient temperature is between 50°F and 90°F (10°C and 32°C).
3. Applying Adhesive: Apply the adhesive directly and evenly to each surface that you intend to bond or repair.
4. Mating Surfaces: After applying, allow the adhesive to partially cure for approximately 2 minutes before bringing the surfaces together. Once contact is made and sufficient pressure is applied, an immediate bond will form, making repositioning difficult.
5. Curing Process: Allow the repair to cure for a minimum of 24 hours to achieve initial strength. Depending on the specific materials and the surrounding temperature, maximum strength may require 48 to 72 hours to fully develop.
6. Cap Maintenance: To ensure the cap can be easily removed for future use, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the threads of the tube before securely replacing the cap.
7. Cleanup: For uncured adhesive, use small amounts of acetone or citrus-based solvents. The adhesive will ball up and can then be brushed off. Once cured, the material can be removed by careful cutting or scraping.
