Product Description

Ultra-CAT™ is a high-solid content, plastic powdered resin veneer glue with an extra long open time developed using catalyzed adhesive technology. This adhesive cures rock-hard and leaves a glue line that withstands heat and moisture. Ultra-CAT is highly sand-able and works particularly well with wood types that are prone to bleed-through such as burls and open-pore woods.

Ultra-CAT has a non-evaporative curing process which eliminates 'veneer creep' caused by seasonal humidity changes so joint/seam lines never separate. Ultra-CAT glue will permanently lock-in the form of curved and contoured veneer projects making it ideal for all custom furniture projects and bent laminations.

Recommended Uses:

 
Features:

• Extra Value: One container makes approximately 5 gallons of adhesive.
• Convenience: Mix as little or as much glue as needed for your project.
• Superb Consistency: The high solid content of Ultra-CAT reduces adhesive bleed-through and maximizes durability.
• Unsurpassed Bond Strength: Type II moisture and heat resistance allows veneers to be used in unconventional environments.
• Minimized Spring-Back: Non-evaporative curing process leaves an extremely rigid glue line that practically eliminates spring-back on bent laminations.
• Extra-Long Open Time: Up to 30 minutes under normal conditions and up to 45 minutes in colder shop environments.
• Usable Wood Tone: Ultra-CAT is tinted to match most medium to dark wood species.
• Long Shelf Life: When stored properly this adhesive has a 12 month shelf life.
• Easy Clean-Up: Brushes and rollers can be cleaned with water (while glue is wet).
• Outstanding Sand-Ability: Ultra-CAT will not soften and gum-up sandpaper.

Coverage: 1,000 to 1,375 square feet

Minimum Use Temp: 70° F

Curing Time: Full cure in 4 to 6 hours at 70° F

Speed Curing: Some vacuum press users have placed a heating blanket (set on 'low') over the vacuum bag while the project is being pressed to accelerate the curing of the Ultra-CAT adhesive. Curing time can be reduced to 2 hours with this method!

Optional: Ultra-CAT Lightening Agent - 8 oz.
Simply add this highly effective powder to Ultra-CAT to dramatically lighten the glue-line color. Ideal for maple, sycamore, ash, and other light woods where a dark glue line would be unacceptable. The powder is inert and has absolutely no effect on the quality of the bond. Click on the picture to see the effects of Ultra-CAT lightener.

Use one 8 oz package (or less) of lightener for each 5 lbs of Ultra-CAT. When this option is selected above, we include 5 packs of lightener with your order.

Tip from Joe: Don't forget a glue roller. It's worth every penny!
