For well over 25 years T-88 has been the most widely used structural adhesive for
marine and general woodworking use in the United States.
• Mix at a 1:1 by volume ratio.
• T-88 will cure at temperatures as low as 35ºF.
• Full Cure @ 77°F (25°C) 72 Hours
• When fully cured, it is unaffected by water, oil, kerosene, and many other chemicals.
• It will not stain wood and is immune to fungus and rot.
• T-88 is unique in that it may be applied to damp wood, provided it is worked well into the surface.
