(4.8-mm) deep V-notchesso that the adhesive ridges are parallel to the grain of wood.During application hold he trowel at an approximate
25、 90 angleto the receiving surface.10.1.2.2 Allow an open time of 30 s 6 5 s upon completionof spreading.10.1.2.3 Squarely position the gypsum wallboard-plywoodlaminate back surface paper onto the adhesive coated plywoodwith the overlapping 212 6116-in. (63.5 6 1.6 mm), thusforming the 10 in.2(64.5 c

The bottomedge of the wallboard-plyw
29、ood laminate rests on self-aligningseat as the test loading is simultaneously applied to the topedge of the single plywood. The stress applied is parallel anduniformly distributed to the bond line shear plane and requirescareful orientation using shims and self-aligning apparatus asnecessary. Determ
30、ine the shear strength at a crosshead speed of0.50-in/min (12.7 mm)/min). Observations are made duringstress application to ensure the test assembly maintains properalignment and the fixture operates without binding or frictionthroughout the test.
