Technet, Can anyone share their current procedure in handling left-over SMT adhesive in the cartridge? What would be the preferred process for handling and storage the adhesive for later uses? We currently discard any left-over adhesive on the line after the build. As for the unused adhesive remained in the cartridge, we were informed by the supplier (Loctite) either to consume it within a max. of 10 days or return it right back to the fridge. In that case I am concerned with the impact of repeated refrigeration has on the adhesive shelve life. Any feedback will be appreciated.
