A. The goal of pressurization is to achieve 100% wet-out of the adhesive. This can be affected by size, shape, flexibility and tape placement of the components to be bonded. As a rule, a minimum of 15 PSI should be used. More flexible components may need less pressure. The time factor is determined more by the flexibility of the component than by needs of the adhesive. Time is not as important as application of firm, even pressure over the entire component. The application of firm, even pressure is key to 100% wet-out of the adhesive. Q.
