What kind of surface preparation is needed for use of products?

For threadlocking and many sealing compounds, it is many times acceptable to have thin films of oil on the parts. Only the removal of heavy grease or contamination is necessary to achieve adequate adhesive performance. For structural adhesives and instant adhesives, testing must be run to determine acceptable surface treatment. Generally, the end user should try to use the least complicated surface treatment required.
