i3 Instant Adhesive - Gel

  • All-purpose, quick setting

  • For small gaps and vertical surfaces

SmartAdhesives i3 Instant Adhesive is the gel version of our all purpose line of cyanoacrylate adhesives for applications requiring gap filling or bonding of vertical or overhead surfaces. i3 is a fast setting, single component adhesive with a viscosity similar to thick honey. i3 does not drip when used on vertical surfaces and can be use to fill small gaps (less than .02 inches). The cure time for i3 is about 30 seconds, which provides time for repositioning of parts.

Application instructions

DIRECTIONS: Clean surfaces to remove all dust, dirt and grease. For highest bond strength, chemical cleaning is advised (use acetone or isopropyl alcohol, depending on substrate). Apply sparingly and spread adhesive thinly and evenly on surface. Immediately join surfaces together with firm pressure until adhesive sets (approx. 30 sec. @ 70˚F). Replace cap when not in use.
