00:00 #Belzona7311 is a fatigue-resistant adhesive, optimized for structural bonding applications requiring high mechanical strength, cleavage, and shear resistance. 00:15 The packaging contains all the tools needed for an application. Belzona 7311 has a mixing ratio of 3:1 parts base to solidifier, both by weight and by volume, and is simple to mix due to its ‘soft paste’ properties. 00:27 Simply mix the components using a Belzona spatula in the recommended figure eight motion. Using the same spatula, score the mix for any remaining streakiness. 00:43 In this video, we will demonstrate a #stair #handrail bonding application. The first step should be surface preparation. Tape could be used to mask the repair area and prevent excess product on the structure. 00:53 The mating faces have been grit blasted to the requirements of SSPC SP 10 or ISO 8501- SA 2 ½ cleanliness with a minimum average 75-micron (3 mils) profile. 01:04 As soon as the surface preparation is complete, the base and solidifier of Belzona 7311 should be mixed and applied on both the base of the handrail and the structure using a short-bristled brush, ensuring it fully wets the profiled substrates. 01:31 Then, apply an additional product to one of the mating faces creating a ‘peak’ build-up in the center. This reduces the potential for air entrapment within the bond line once both mating forces are pressed. 01:41 Now that the product is applied, the handrail is positioned on the stair set. The mating faces are firmly pressed together until reaching a maximum thickness of 2 mm (80 mils). Use clamps/ magnets/ ratchet straps, where possible. Allow the product to extrude and "squeeze out" any air pockets, followed by removing the tapes. 01:59 The product should be allowed to cure for full adhesive strength before any loads or stresses are exerted. The application is now complete. 🛒 To purchase this solution, head to Belzona.com to contact your local Distributor https://www.belzona.com/en/about/disfinder.aspx 🎙️ PODCAST - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ9ZWyrr3ws&list=PLrpYan0WU7kXy_OvMEwoS3MbucC-s3fbu 📝 BLOG - https://blog.belzona.com/
