PACKAGING
The DOUBLE/BUBBLE package is a handy, dual-pouch, one shot, job-size packaging concept. It reduces the waste typically associated with using larger quantities of two-component adhesives. This unique packaging ensures that DOUBLE/BUBBLE adhesives are always factory fresh and accurately portioned for optimum adhesive performance.
Directions for Use
The surface must be clean and dry before application. Remove all chemicals, dirt, wax, and oil.
Fold the DOUBLE/BUBBLE package along the center seal, snip the end, squeeze out the contents, mix thoroughly, and apply.
STORAGE AND HANDLING
Store DOUBLE/BUBBLE adhesives at room temperature in a dry environment. Extreme low temperatures may cause crystallization. Extreme high temperatures may degrade the properties.
Various cleaning solutions are available for cured and uncured epoxies and polyurethanes.
SAFETY
These materials are intended for commercial and industrial use only, and good housekeeping, safety, and cleanliness should be followed before, during, and after use.
Although the system contains low-volatility materials, care should be taken in handling. Use adequate ventilation in the work area.
These materials may cause dermatitis in susceptible individuals. Keep off the skin and out of the eyes. In case of accidental skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. In case of eye contact, flush your eyes thoroughly with water and consult a physician immediately.
Ordering was easy. Spoke with a professional and friendly person.
Shipping was fast only two days.
Used the product on a boat outboard motor and bracket.
Excellent primer for bare aluminum.
Couldn’t have gone better from ordering to product results.
Thank you!
I built this kit as a teenager most of 55 years ago. The kit is essentially the same, but now they’re laser cut. In the past, the panels were die-cut, sometimes you get one done with a dull cutter. That took a lot of extra time, carefully re-scoring everything with a narrow Exacto blade so the pieces wouldn’t split. This kit is so crisp, it’s a joy to assemble. It’s fun seeing old reflexes come to life while assembling this baby. I only have the FW-190 from those years, but also built this one (the Hellcat), the Spitfire, Me-109, and the P-40. Good times!
