Please go to the below link related to using Loctite in the construction of trailers: http://www.gluemytrailer.com/video.html You can use the Parson Adhesives products in place of Loctite in the following applications: 1) Partite 7504 can be used on all trailer assembly applications for Loctite H4500 & Loctite H8600 2) Parbond 901 can be used in place of Loctite 5510 & Loctite 5570 3) Sonlok 3440 substitutes both the Loctite 7088 Primer & Loctite 2033 Threadlocker

How to select between ethyl versus methyl cyanoacralates?

Classic cyanoacrylates are represented by the ethyl and methyl chemistries. Generally, the methyls offer better bond strengths on metals, the ethyls providing better strengths on everything else. Substrate selection and bondline configuration directly influence adhesive performance. For example, two polished bare metal surfaces are best bonded with a methyl grade. By comparison, better results would be generated by an ethyl grade when bonding a single bare metal surface, such as an emblem to an automobile fender. Why? The automobile fender is painted, and while composed of metal, the adhesive is in contact with the acrylic paint layer, a plastic surface. To summarize; use methyls when bonding bare metal-to-metal, ethyls for everything else.

What should I do if Cyanoacrylate gets stuck to my skin?

Because the bond between the cyanoacrlate and the skin is created so quickly, rushing to pull skin apart "before it bonds" is pointless. Just remain calm and take your time. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are rapid curing, strong bonding agents which will bond human tissue and skin in seconds. Experience has shown that accidents due to cyanoacrylates are handled best by passive, non-surgical first aid. Cyanoacrylates work best with tension. Pulling bonded materials apart (fingers included) will strengthen the bond. Cyanoacrylates have the lowest strength in a peel mode. Acetone a Debonder will also release the cured adhesive.Treatment of specific types of accidents are given below. With the Skin: Immerse bonded areas in warm soapy water. Peel or roll skin apart. Peel the skin apart with a spatula, teaspoon handle or a pencil by pushing it between the bonded areas. Remove cured adhesive with warm, soapy water. This may take several applications. Acetone or a Debonder is also effective in removing cured cyanoacrylate off of skin. With the eyelid:If the eyelids are stuck together or bonded to the eyeball wash them thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze patch. The eye will open without further action within 1-4 days. There will be no residual damage. Do not try to force eyes open. With the Eyeball: Cyanoacrylates adhesives will attach itself to the eye protein and will disassociate from it over time, usually within several hours. This will cause periods of weeping and double vision until cured adhesive is cleared. With the mouth: If lips are accidentally stuck together, apply copious amounts of warm water and encourage maximum wetting and pressure from saliva inside the mouth. Peel or roll, (do not pull) lips apart. It is almost impossible to swallow cyanoacrylate. The adhesive solidifies upon contact with saliva (moisture) and could adhere to the inside of the mouth. Saliva will lift the adhesive in 1-2 days, avoid swallowing the adhesive after detachment.Cyanoacrylate gives off heat, exothermic reaction, when curing. In rare cases a large quantity can cause a burn. Burns should be treated normally after the cured adhesive is removed from the skin as described above. It should never be necessary to surgically remove cyanoacrylate or to separate bonded skin.
