Luminous Plaster

TOHO's Luminous Plaster is a two-component luminescent epoxy glue, developed for bonding, protecting knots and customising fishing tackle. Its luminous green colour allows you to create attraction points on hooks, rigs and lures. The two components are mixed at a 1:1 ratio, allowing you to prepare only the amount required. At 20 °C, it provides a working time of 20–25 minutes, starts to cure after approximately 30 minutes and reaches usable strength after approximately one hour.

Features
The solvent-free formula is suitable for bonding non-porous materials and compatible plastics that may be damaged by solvents. It exhibits virtually no volumetric shrinkage after curing, making it suitable for filling small cavities and building up thicker layers. The working time allows the mixture to be applied and shaped to suit the surface being treated, creating luminous details of the desired size.

Applications
Suitable for protecting knots and reinforcing hook bindings, while adding a luminous point that may help attract fish. It can be used to customise lures, flies, metal jigs and squid jigs, or applied to lure eyes and bodies, as well as spoons. It can also be applied to rod tips to create a luminous marker. Other compatible materials: glass, ceramics, metal, wood, rigid plastics, tiles and concrete. Incompatible materials: polyethylene, polypropylene, flexible PVC, fluororesins, 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: squeeze equal amounts of component A and component B from the two tubes and mix thoroughly using the supplied spatula.
3) Apply the glue: spread and shape the mixture within the working time, adjusting the amount to suit the bond or luminous detail required.
4) Allow to cure: keep the bonded parts stationary for at least one hour at 20 °C.

Temperature and curing times
- Reference temperature: 20 °C.
- Working time: 20-25 minutes after mixing.
- Curing begins: after approximately 30 minutes.
- Usable strength: after approximately 60 minutes.
- Minimum time to keep the parts stationary: 1 hour.

Mixing large quantities generates heat and reduces the time available for application. Usable strength does not necessarily correspond to final strength; the manufacturer does not specify the time required to reach final strength.

Precautions for use
- Avoid contact with skin: the product may cause irritation.
- In case of skin contact, 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 cleaning benzine or a 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.
- Use only for the intended bonding applications.
