Assembly : The parts should be assembled while the adhesive is still wet, the speed at which the adhesive will dry depends upon the porosity and moisture content of Wood, temperature and humidity in the working place when the parts have been assembled a pressure should be applied to the bond while the adhesive sets. When decorative laminate is being bonded to wood, chip board, block board etc. Adhesive is applied to the rigid surface and the laminate is positioned. It must then be loaded into a press and positive pressure must be applied until the adhesive has set.
