laminates), leather, cloth, felt, paper, cardboard, cork and most other porous materials
STAR WOOD GLUE is not intended for exterior use or where moisture is likely. If STAR WOOD GLUE is to be used outdoors, or if it will
be exposed to the elements, the joints should be covered with paint or varnish once the adhesive has cured.
It should not be used to adhere coated woods, synthetic woods and melamine. Not for structural or load bearing applications. Do not
use when temperature, glue or materials are below 4°C. Because of variances in the surfaces of treated lumber, it is a good idea to
test for adhesion.
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from all loose materials, dust, dirt, rust and any other contaminants. When working with woods that are oily or
high in tannic acid, wipe the joints with acetone before gluing. Acetone clears the contaminants from the wood pores on the bonding surface and dries
quickly without leaving any residue.
For the best result, planning of the wood should take place within 24 hours of gluing. After this time, the cell structure of the wood closes, which may
significantly reduce the ability of the glue to penetrate sufficiently, resulting in a poor bond. For hard and oily woods, we recommend resurfacing within
2 hours of gluing the moisture content of the wood should be between 8 – 12%. Higher moisture content will result in longer pressing times and will lead
to risk of delaminating and wood splitting due to shrinkage of the wood on either side of the bond-line.
To avoid wood shrinkage or swelling after processing, it is very important to ensure that the wood is dried to a moisture content corresponding to the
equilibrium moisture content (EMC) at the site where the article will be used. EMC is the moisture content of the wood that corresponds to a given relative
humidity. If the moisture content of the wood is higher than EMC, it will lose moisture until it reaches EMC. A corresponding shrinkage in the wood will occur
which may result in delaminating along the glue line and/or wood splitting.
Care should be taken to ensure a tight fit between wood pieces with no saw marks and no burnishing of the surfaces to be glued.
As a caution, it must be remembered that poor surface preparation may result in the delamination of the glued joint.
• Ensure that surfaces are prepared as above to ensure that all joints fit tightly
• For a successful gluing operation, consideration must be given to each of the following points discussed in detail below: glue spread rate, assembly time,
press time, press temperature, and press pressure
• Apply glue with a roller, wheel, toothed trowel, brush or spatula. Apply a spread rate of approximately 200g/m2 (glue "squeeze out" should be seen coming
from the joint).
• The glue spread rate is dependent on the object of gluing and the wood species, and must be determined in each specific case. When gluing hard and oily
wood species, the substrates should be newly planed and the adhesive should be spread on both surfaces.
• Foiling and veneering applications will require a lower spread rate of approximately 60g/m2 and 100g/2 respectively
• The assembly time refers to the time lapse between glue spreading and application of pressure. The time between glue spreading and closing the
assembly is open assembly time, which in the case of STAR WOOD GLUE is approximately 10 minutes at 21°C and 50% relative humidity. The time between
closing the assembly and pressure application is called the closed assembly time, which is approximately 10 minutes.
• It is recommended that only the amount of adhesive that can be used within this period be applied at any one time. The assembly time is influenced by
the glue spread rate, environmental conditions, and wood species. Assembly time is increased by cold weather, high humidity; high spread rate and
high-density wood species (slow absorption of the adhesive into the wood)
• Press time is dependent on wood species, moisture content and environmental conditions. Cold temperatures and higher humidity levels may require
longer press times. Denser wood species, oily woods and those with higher moisture content will also require longer press times. We recommend pressing
an unstressed joint for 60 minutes to four hours.
• Temperature in the glue line can be between 4 - 70°C. Use of the adhesive below 4°C will result in 'chalking' and subsequent delamination.
Higher temperatures (up to 110°C) can be used if the press times are kept very short. For press temperatures above 50°C, it is recommended that the
shortest possible press time be determined. Above 70°C, it is necessary to do this because the glue is thermoplastic, and at higher temperatures an
opening of the bond line can occur when the pressure is released because of the thermoplastic nature of the glue. The thermoplastic properties will increase
with higher temperatures. When using HF-pressing the thermoplastic properties are more pronounced and therefore an after-pressing time is recommended
in order to achieve a distribution of the heat in the glued construction before the pressure is released. Highest bond strengths are obtained using high
clamp strengths and extended clamp times.
• Appropriate press pressure is essential for a successful bond. Sufficient press pressure is required to bring the joint tightly together. Too high pressure
and short assembly times when gluing hard wood species may cause the glue to be squeezed out of the glue line, resulting in glue starvation and
delamination. Too little pressure will not bring the surfaces together closely enough to form a strong bond along the glue line. 100-150 psi
(7-10 bar or kg/cm2) is recommended for soft woods, and 125-175 psi (9-12 bar or kg/cm2) for medium woods. Clamps should be positioned a minimum
of 4cm away from the sides, and evenly spaced at 20-30cm throughout the piece. Remove excess glue immediately by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
Star Paint
• Glue joint "squeeze out" may make the area around the joint difficult to stain. Although sanding the area will help, we recommend using masking tape
to cover the areas that you do not want exposed to glue.
• STAR WOOD GLUE does not discolor wood; however, iron which might come from the glue spreader, rusted cutter blades, or from tannic acids in some
wood species, e.g. oak, may contaminate the glue and darken the glue line. For this reason, always use clean, sharp, and un-rusted cutter blades for
cutting the wood and avoid using metal tools with the adhesive
• Machines and tools can be cleaned with water. Glue spills on carpets canbe cleaned by placing a wet cloth over the glue and covering with a plastic sheet.
Leave overnight to allow the glue to soften – remove with appropriate tool.
• Make your own woodfiller by mixing STAR WOOD GLUE with sawdust
• Minimum application temperature 4°C
• Spread rate Approximately 200 – 250g/m2 for assembly

• *Please refer to "Instructions for use" section for further details
• STAR WOOD GLUE has a shelf life of at least 12 months if stored in a cool (below 25°C), dry place in its original moisture-tight container. The glue should
not be stored below 0°C or above 30°C
• If the material is kept beyond the recommended shelf life, it is not necessarily unusable. A check should be performed to observe whether the product has
not separated, thickened, or shows signs of bacterial degradation (bad smell, discoloration
and low viscosity)
• To maximize the shelf life of the opened container, ensure that the packaging is closed to create an airtight environment when not in use. If the
packaging is left open for long periods, the glue will thicken and form a skin on the surface, which can damage pumps and block filters
• When working with STAR WOOD GLUE, it is advisable to wear gloves to avoid direct contact with the skin. Although the product is non-toxic, safe handling
practices should still beimplemented to avoid irritating sensitive skin.
• If glue comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water. If irritation continues, seek medical attention
• Glue is slippery when wet, so care should be taken when cleaning spillages that occur in the home or the workplace

• USE IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS
A specially designed latex admixture for the use in cement compositions.The addition of SCREED AND PLASTER HARDENER confers numerous advantages
over untreated mortars and concrete, such as:
• Greatly improved adhesion to substrate.
• Mixes may be applied in thin layers.
• Excellent resistance to water and water vapour.
• Improves toughness and flexibility.
• Better resistance to frost.
• Improved resistance to chemicals.
• Diminishing dusting.
• Non Toxic.
• Patching and repairing concrete areas.
• Industrial flooring, screed and topping.
• Nosing for stairs indoors/outdoors.
• Flooring for dairies, food factories, fertilizer stores where improved chemical resistance is required.
• Lining of effluent ducts, tunnels and canals.
• Corrosion protection of steel reinforcing rods in concrete and steel structures.
• Screed for bathrooms and showers.
• Waterproofing of water tanks, reservoirs and retaining walls.
• Where the existing floor is old or dirty, it is ESSENTIAL to remove all contaminants such as oil, grease, paint etc. to ensure adequate development of
bond when topping is applied. Any unsound crumbly concrete must also be removed.
• An efficient way of preparing an old floor is to use a mechanical scrabbler to remove all unsound materials. If concrete is in reasonably good order light
scrabbling will suffice, e.g. to a depth of about 2-4 mm.
• To new floors, to which for example a levelling screed needs to be laid, it may still be desirable to remove the upper surface to ensure no weak surfaces
are present. Light scabbling to depth of up to 4mm will normally suffice. Alternatively good results can often be obtained by etching either new or old
concrete floors with Hydrochloric acid (1 part of concentrated acid diluted with 2 parts clean tap water) followed by thorough washing to remove all traces
of acid.
• If screed bars are used to define thickness of screed, these should be positioned after the above preparation.
• The application of a priming coat is essential to obtain maximum adhesion of the subsequently applied screed. The prepared floor should be
thoroughly damped with water, hosing is suggested, followed by removal of excess standing water. A priming coat, consisting of 2 parts ordinary
Portland cement and 1 part SCREED AND PLASTER HARDENER slurry, must then be thoroughly brushed into the floor using a stiff broom.
THE TOPPING IS APPLIED WHILST THE PRIMING COAT IS STILL WET.

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THERE ARE NO ULTRA FINE CLAY-LIKE MATERIAL PRESENT IN THE SAND.
• Although fine sand may be used, especially where very smooth surfaces are required, it is essential that there should be no ultra fine clay like
particles present in the sand.
• Mixing should preferably be carried out in a concrete mixer, although hand mixing is permissible where the total weight of the dry batch does not
exceed 50 kg. Premix sand and cement in a mixer, pour in SCREED AND PLASTER HARDENER, mix for 2 - 3 minutes and finally CAUTIOUSLY add water
little by little until the required consistency is achieved.
CAUTION: OVER ADDITION OF WATER CAUSES RAPID THINNING OF MIXTURE
• Screed based on the above composition can be laid to any thickness, down to feather edge if necessary, providing that a sufficiently fine grade of
sand isused.
• Pour mortar mix over the still wet priming coat and struck off. Trowel to the required finish. A clean steel trowel is recommended for this operation.
• Re-trowel is not recommended after stiffening of the mortar has commenced. This may cause surface cracking.
• The whole surface should be trowelled, not just sections of it, to avoid variations in shade, texture, etc
23 Kg of mixture = 1 sq/m @ 10 mm thickness
All tools must be cleaned immediately after use as hardened cement have excellent adhesion and are therefore difficult to remove once set.
• Where the main requirement of the rendering is improved water resistance and proofing, a modified application technique is recommended.
• After preparing the substrate as described for screed, two sealing coats consisting of 2 PARTS cement slurried with 1 PART SCREED AND PLASTER HARDENER
must be thoroughly brushed on the surface. The second sealing coat must be applied as soon as the first coat is touch dry, i.e. after 20 to 30 minutes.
The sealing coats should be applied at right angles across each other, thus ensuring complete coverage of the substrate. Small quantities of water may
be added to obtain brushable consistency.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE THICKNESS OF EACH SEALING COAT SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1.6mm OTHERWISE CRACKING MAY OCCUR.
The double sealing coat MUST DRY OUT COMPLETELY for a period of AT LEAST 48 HOURS.
• After the sealing coats have dried thoroughly, apply a tack coat consisting of 2 PARTS cement slurried with 1 PART SCREED AND PLASTER HARDENER.
