Proper preparation is crucial when gluing a resin shower tray. To achieve a strong, lasting bond, it’s important to start with clean and well-prepared surfaces. Here’s how to do it right before using your chosen adhesive.
Step-by-Step Surface Cleaning
Begin by thoroughly removing any dust, dirt, old adhesive, or soap residue from both surfaces that will be joined. Use a mild household cleaner or warm soapy water to clean the area, taking care to rinse away all residues. After cleaning, dry the surfaces completely with a lint-free cloth. Any lingering moisture can weaken the adhesive’s effectiveness, so ensure both sides are bone dry before proceeding.
- Remove stubborn grime with an appropriate cleaning solution
- Rinse well and allow to dry
- Avoid leaving any oils or greasy films behind
Should You Sand the Surfaces?
For most resin, plastic, or metal shower trays, lightly sanding the contact areas can help improve adhesion—especially if the finishes are glossy or very smooth. Use fine-grit sandpaper (around 220 grit) and gently scuff the surface where the adhesive will be applied. Wipe away all sanding dust afterwards. This step is not strictly necessary for every situation, but it can provide extra grip for many two-component epoxy adhesives like the “Klebfix” Fast Epoxy Glue.
When This Matters Most
Careful cleaning and optional sanding are essential when bonding shower trays that will be exposed to regular water, steam, and cleaning chemicals. A well-prepared surface ensures the adhesive forms a waterproof, reliable seal that withstands daily use.
