| Triolyse Adhesive Description |
| |
This UV glue is cured with an activator instead of an expensive UV light. This makes it ideal for gluing glass to glass, even opaques, which a UV light glue can't cure. It is great for glass to glass fusing, mosaics, three-dimensional stained glass and jewelry, among other applications. In addition, it's also well suited for gluing metal to glass (like jewelry findings) with fast and easy cleanup. You can even use Triolyse with stone such as granite or marble.
Using Triolyse is easy - just brush a thin coating of the activator on a clean and dry surface (on rough or irregular surfaces, you should apply the activator to both surfaces). The activator remains active for 4 hours. Apply the adhesive in the center of the mating surface, lightly press the two surfaces together for about 15-30 seconds to create a bond. Clean up excess after a couple of minutes. The adhesive fully cures after six hours (or as quickly as 30 minutes if you heat the parts to 150F).
The projects in these pictures were all done in a one-day class at the Glass Craft and Bead Expo in Las Vegas. Students were asked to bring a fused element that we would convert into a sculpture, or create a base that will enhance their work. We can see from these examples that the students quickly understood the 3 dimensional possibilities of this versatile glue. The fact that it is non-toxic, sets up in less in 2 minutes and is fully cured in 6 hours encourages spontaneity and creativity. Project images provided courtesy of Boris Chasin.
Package includes 14ml of activator and 10ml of adhesive.
