Leather and freshly split Vulkollan can be bonded without preparation (testing recommended). The adhesive can be sprayed or applied with a roll or brush. Let dry and activate at 176 °F. The heat activation starts the cross-linking process which greatly increases the resistance against water, heat, and chemical influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDepending to the combination of the materials and the method of application, the drying-time is 30-60 min.
