Gluing Copper Sheet

Apply adhesive to the prepared surface as the manufacturer directs.

Gluing copper sheet.

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. Remove any dust dirt wax oil or grease including fingerprints. Cyanoacrylate adhesives or instant adhesives are ideal for bonding copper. Apply the adhesive to the porous substrate with a glue roller.

Step 1 lay the two sheets you will be gluing together on a flat surface and pour acetone onto a clean rag. Rub the rag over the entire surface of the two sides of sheet metal you will be gluing together. Be sure to read your product instructions for any details on application and drying times before. Position the pieces and press together.

Take care to not touch your bare fingertips to the surfaces to be bonded. Apply the metal glue. Scrub thoroughly and remove all grease and other grime from the sheet metal. Soak a rag in lacquer thinner and thoroughly polish the newly etched surface with it.

Gently scuff sand the back of the copper veneer with 80 or 120 grit sandpaper. Use fine grit sandpaper to roughen the metal surfaces you will be gluing together. Clean the metal. 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.

Do not apply the adhesive to the copper. Surfaces should be clean and dry. Paint a thin layer of adhesive onto the entire etched surface of the 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.
