Specifications

Dry Time: 10-15 minutes; Open Time: Up to 4 hours

What is dry time? After you have applied Barge Cement to both surfaces, dry time is how long you must leave the two surfaces separated to allow the solvent in the adhesive to evaporate. Please keep in mind that humidity may impact dry time. We recommend making sure that the materials are clean and dry before applying Barge Cement. Lightly sanding the materials to be bonded may also be beneficial, but make sure not to leave any dust behind.

What is open time? Open time is how long the pieces can be left out with adhesive on them before they must be put together and bonded. After the items are bonded together, it will take about 1-2 minutes for the adhesive to cure. If you find the open time exceeds 4 hours, Barge recommends applying heat to the adhesive with a hair dryer. This will help revive the adhesive after it has been left out too long and allow you to then successfully bond the materials together.

Great bonding cement

"I used this Toluene-Free Barge Cement, on several projects so far . I've found that the bond is satisfying . It does dry slower than the regular Barge cement . My shop area is small ,so the lower odor is good ."

Christopher A. (5/5)

I guess I should have

"I guess I should have checked closer. Just because it’s Toluene free doesn’t mean it doesn’t stink. You still need lots of fresh air when you use this cement. I had assumed it would be water based, it is not!"

Ron S. (2/5)

Followed instructions of letting surfaces

"Followed instructions of letting surfaces dry for 15-20 minutes before bonding together and weighing down overnight. My resoled birkenstocks are good for another few years. Well vented area is recommended, fumes are low and cleared out quickly."

Yuliya L. (5/5)

this was my first time

"this was my first time trying anything but water based cements. I got the toluene free because I thought it wouldn't be so toxic, but it smells overwhelmingly like chemicals, even with the doors and windows open and a mask on. I will be going back to water based cements after this, at least they won't poison me."
