Lab Report 4/3/2012

Here's another report from the R&D department.

"Loctite PL300 Foamboard adhesive tests are complete. We tested 3 pieces using different techniques for applying the adhesive.

Using a dab resulted in an incredibly strong bond. However, the excess adhesive was pushed out of the sides of the test piece, creating a potential distortion in the height of surrounding pieces.

Using a dab that was spread with a putty knife resulted in the same incredible bond without the pushing effect.

Using a small dab spread very thin obviously created no pushing problems. What's amazing is that the bond appears every bit as strong as the other samples! In fact, since the adhesive had been thoroughly spread across the surface of the test piece, the bond is even stronger, since no part of the piece is untouched by adhesive.

We have concluded that the Loctite PL300 Foamboard adhesive is perfectly suited for our needs."

There it is, folks. Another problem solved!

More as it develops.
