When gluing a resin shower tray, allowing your adhesive enough time to cure is essential for a strong, lasting bond and to avoid any risk of damage when you start using the shower.
How long should you wait?
Most two-component epoxy adhesives for resin shower trays will bond quickly, typically setting in around five minutes. However, for the adhesive to fully cure and reach its maximum strength, it’s wise to wait several hours before putting any weight or water on the tray. This helps ensure the integrity of your repair or installation is maintained. Always consult your adhesive’s instructions for exact timings—some jobs may benefit from an overnight wait for extra reassurance.
Best Practices for Application and Curing
Apply your adhesive evenly to clean, dry surfaces and press the tray firmly in place. It’s crucial not to disturb or use the tray during the initial cure phase, as this can weaken the joint. Popular choices like the “Klebfix” Two-Component Epoxy Glue and “FixExpress” Epoxy Glue are designed for rapid, reliable bonds, but patience is key for a result that lasts.
When waiting really matters
- First use: Never expose your shower tray to water or foot traffic until the adhesive has fully cured.
- Load-bearing repairs: Heavier trays, or those being used as structural elements, especially benefit from extended cure times.
