To apply GlueFilm, one of the following heat tools are required:
* Standard Heat Gun
* Embossing Heat Tool
* Craft Iron
* Household Iron
* Soldering Iron
* Hair Dryer (See Note 1 Below)
Glue Film is a superior alternative to messy and inconsistent glue guns as well as liquid or cement adhesives. Glue Film provides a uniform strong bond with a clean approach and allows you the capability to form your pad to your specific outline.
Glue Film is activated by using a heat tool at a temperature of 160 F / 71 C. Cure time is relatively instant as the material begins to cure as it drops below 160 F / 71 C.
Step 1: Cut your Glue Film sheet to match your desired bonding outline using scissors, razor blade, shape punches, paper cutter, or hole punch.
Step 2: Place your cut Glue Film pad on your desired bonding area.
Step 3: Use a heat gun, craft iron, embossing heat tool, household iron, soldering iron or hair dryer to heat your Glue Film. Please refer to Method A and Method B below to determine what Glue Film setup will best fit your requirements.
A key advantage of Glue Film is in its ability to be re-positioned. Just simply re-heat and remove your object.
Method A:
Apply heat either through or around the object (Surface A) as shown below (thermal induction). Surface A materials can include metal, wood, glass, ceramics, chipboard, and paper products. Surface A should be materials that can withstand heat transfer without being damaged by the heat. If your “Surface A” material cannot withstand heat transfer, then proceed to Method B.

Method B:
Apply heat directly to or around your Glue Film pad and then apply Surface A. Surface A materials can include plastics and ceramics.

Tacking your Glue Film pad with a soldering iron can be a helpful way to setup or determine placement.

Note 1: Hair dryers are regulated by design and some hair dryers may not be able to apply Glue Film at 160 F / 71 C.
