ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS
-Pre-glued dowels offers high glue coverage creating superior holding strength.
-Significant savings and increased production are created by the elimination of production stoppages for routine maintenance on dowel insertion equipment caused by the glue buildup.
-Dry joints caused by injection misfires due to clogged glue lines are eliminated.
-Water runs consistently through glue lines.
-Cleanup time on your product during and after assembly due to glue mess and squeeze out is eliminated.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Pre-glued wood dowel tolerances are +/- 0.014" (0.3556mm) for diameter and +/- 0.03125" (0.79375mm) for length.
Note that wood is a natural product that can be affected by its environment despite being dried to a stable 6-8% moisture content.
Glue may be used in conjunction with the Pre-Glued Dowel Pin. This is typically done when gluing side panels or with short depth applications.
Pre-glued dowel pins are coated with a Type-III re-moisturizing PVA wood glue that is water activated.
Type-III (not water-resistant) PVA glue consists of as much as 50% water and cures as the water evaporates. Glued surfaces must be clamped together until they reach 15% to 20% of their bond strength, generally in about an hour. It can take as long as 24 hours, however, to reach full strength.

APPLICATION
Automatic Dowel Insertion Equipment:
1. Clean and drain all glue from your glue system and insert nozzle. (It is recommended that you clean lines with hot water to thoroughly flush out all glue).
2. Replace glue with water and lower pot pressure to between 10-20 psi to compensate for water viscosity.
3. Fill hopper with pre-glued dowel pins and begin.
Manual Insertion:
The most common water application methods are: a spray mist bottle, a standard squeeze bottle and a pressure pot system.
1. Spray mist bottle: adjust the nozzle to a fine mist. Spray once or twice directly into the hole and
then insert the dowel.
2. Standard squeeze bottle: fill hole approximately 1/3 with water and then insert the dowel.
3. Pressure pot system: lower the pot pressure to between 10-20 psi and adjust the gun nozzle to a short open time. Fill hole approximately 1/3 with water and then insert the dowel.
