Use the SANDPAPER
supplied to smooth out all rasp marks and any remaining irregularities
from the hoof wall. Unlike other glues, where a rough 'key' helps
the bond, the Mustad Mounting Glue wïii give a better bond when the
surface is perfectly smooth and unblemished by rasp marks.
The reason for this is that the glue used will not fill or set in even the shallowest depression (e.g. rasp mark) and as a result only bonds to the adjoining level material. This means that extensive rasp marking will cut the available bonding area by around 50% with a relative reduction in bond strength. To obtain a good smooth surface put the sandpaper around a piece of flat wood or a block. For the reasons given above, only sandpaper of the same grade as that supplied should be used, otherwise deep scratching will affect the bond. Be sure to sandpaper the hoof wall right back to the heels.
