Definition of Terms

"Dry" - Refers to "Dry Peel Adhesion Test." For this test, a bead of Log Builder is run along the surface to be tested. The sample is allowed to dry for 28 days at room temperature before the adhesion test is performed.

"Wet" - Refers to the "Wet Peel Adhesion Test." This test is performed in much the same way the dry test is performed, except that the room temperature cure is followed by 7 days submersion in water immediately before the adhesion test.

lbs/lin. inch - Means "Pounds Per Linear Inch." Refers to the amount of pull it takes
to pull Log Builder off the surface, the higher the number, the better the adhesion.

Adhesive Failure - Means Log Builder was pulled away from the surface at the reported pounds per inch.

Cohesive Failure - Means Log Builder tore or broke at the reported pounds per inch. Cohesive failure means the adhesive strength is actually higher than the numbers reflect.
