Fishing Bond

TOHO's Fishing Bond is a high-strength and two-part epoxy glue, formulated for bonding, building and repairing fishing tackle. The two components are mixed in a 1:1 ratio, allowing you to prepare only the amount required. The fast-setting "5-minute" formula provides a working time of up to 4 minutes at 20 °C, reaching usable strength after at least one hour and final strength after at least 12 hours.

Features
The formula bonds most rigid materials used in fishing tackle. Solvent-free and with no volume shrinkage after curing, Fishing Bond is also suitable for filling cavities and bonding applications requiring a thicker layer of glue. Once cured, it has a clear, slightly yellow finish that makes bonded areas less noticeable.

Applications
Suitable for bonding lures, building and repairing fishing rods, and reinforcing hook bindings. It can also be used to bond and repair items unrelated to fishing, including objects made of glass, ceramic, metal, wood and rigid plastic.

Unsuitable materials: polyethylene, polypropylene, flexible PVC, fluoropolymer resins, silicone resins and rubber.

Directions for use
1) Prepare the surfaces: remove moisture, grease, dirt and rust by abrasion or cleaning with a thinner compatible with the material. Allow to dry completely.
2) Mix the components: dispense equal amounts of component A and component B and mix thoroughly using the supplied spatula.
3) Apply the glue: spread the mixture and join the parts within the working time.
4) Secure the parts: keep the bonded parts stationary for at least one hour at 20 °C and allow at least 12 hours for final strength to develop.

Temperature and curing
- Times Ambient temperature: 20 °C
- Working time: up to 4 minutes
- Usable strength: after at least 1 hour
- Final strength: after at least 12 hours

The term "5-minute" identifies the fast-setting type of glue, rather than the time required to achieve final strength. Mixing large quantities generates heat and reduces the time available for application.

Precautions
- Avoid skin contact: the product may cause irritation. If contact occurs, remove immediately and wash with soap and water.
- In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
- Immediately remove any residue from clothing using a stain remover or thinner compatible with the fabric.
- Clean the tube openings after each use and do not interchange the caps of components A and B.
- Clean the spatula and tools before the glue cures.
- Keep out of reach of children and use only for bonding applications.
