Section Five Application and Bond Process

This section outlines the most common types of adhesive joints, how they are used and some of the shortcomings and common problems observed with each joint type. When creating a design, adhesives may be the sole fastening device or used in conjunction with some alternative fastening devices, such as screws or rivets. Whether an adhesive is used as the primary fastening method, secondary fastening or simply as a sealant depends on the properties of the adhesive and the process time.
