Subject : Thinning of Uni-bond 800

Dear Darryl & Co,;Greetings, I was curious; Can the uni-bond 800 product be thinned at all ? I notice in the cooler climate it tends to drag and get a tad thick . Should i just work alittle harder to spread a bit more , attempt to increase the temps or is there a way to thin it .I was laying up a many layered lamination and noted in the finished piece some ( Barely noticable ) thicker glues lines where due to the thickness ( Viscousity ) of the glue I "left" too much glue on the surface ( ie; in that portion of the joint .). I find the glue has so many desirable qualities and it to be one of better glues available , It's when it gets in those cooler shop temps I wonder can it be slightly thinned!?Thanks & Best wishes,Chris

Dear Chris,Hi there, hope all is going well with you.Definately do not thin Unibond, it needs to stay as is.A couple of thoughts though. Unibond does thicken up when it's shelf life is up. This is the best way to know if it is still good. I question that your batch may have reached its end. It takes pretty cold temperatures before it starts to thicken up much. If you are sure it's still good, you could warm up the amount you want to use, but not to much, lets say into the 80's.SincerlyDarryl: Dear Darryl & Co,;: Greetings, I was curious; Can the uni-bond 800 product be : thinned at all ?
