Gluing Copper Sheet

Cyanoacrylate adhesives or instant adhesives are ideal for bonding copper.

Gluing copper sheet. Cyberbond is the adhesives manufacturer you can depend upon for superior quality copper adhesives available in high strength low viscosity quick set time or a variety of colors. Solderless copper bonding also known as cold soldering gluing copper or cold welding uses a liquid durable polymer which is applied to rigid pipe fittings to literally weld them together hermetically absolutely nothing can get in impenetrable. Copper glue solutions cyberbond is highly regarded for setting the strictest requirements for all of the adhesives we produce. Step 1 lay the two sheets you will be gluing together on a flat surface and pour acetone onto a clean rag.

Be sure to read your product instructions for any details on application and drying times before. Apply adhesive to the prepared surface as the manufacturer directs. Paint a thin layer of adhesive onto the entire etched surface of the copper sheet. Prefit the parts to make sure there are no big gaps.

The highest strength bonds are created with methyl cyanoacrylates such as the original permabond 910. In a well ventilated area thoroughly wash the back side of the copper with water or acetone using a steel wool or synthetic steel wool scotch brite pad. Take care to not touch your bare fingertips to the surfaces to be bonded. Position the pieces and press together.

Soak a rag in lacquer thinner and thoroughly polish the newly etched surface with it. Apply the metal glue. Surfaces should be clean and dry. Use fine grit sandpaper to roughen the metal surfaces you will be gluing together.

Rub the rag over the entire surface of the two sides of sheet metal you will be gluing together. Apply the adhesive to the porous substrate with a glue roller. Do not apply the adhesive to the copper. Scrub thoroughly and remove all grease and other grime from the sheet metal.
