how can i adjust the neck of the elcometer so it will reach the neck of the dolly?

Hi, Before you apply the dolly, we suggest ensuring the ears are pushed all of the way down (this may require some force) If you have any further questions, please get in touch at: [e-mail]

Do you have any tips on how to control adhesive thickness between two substrates?

[@ElcometerOfficialChannel]

Hi, Ideally, you will have applied just enough adhesive to cover the surface of the dolly with any excess wiped away. If you have any more questions, get in touch @ [e-mail]

what's the curing time before testing?

[@ElcometerOfficialChannel]

Hi, This depends on a variety of factors such as: - The type of adhesive used - Your specific environmental conditions Please refer to your specific adhesive technical data sheet for more details.

Can adhesion testing be carried out on 5 micron hard coating?

[@ElcometerOfficialChannel]

Thank you for your comment. It is possible to undertake a pull-off adhesion test on a 5 micron coating, as long as you take care not to damage the coating when sticking the dolly down or placing the actuator onto the dolly. If you are also testing on a thin substrate, the thin substrate skirt should be used when testing.
