What the product is
3M 04240 is a two-part urethane adhesive designed for semi-rigid plastic repair. The dual-cartridge system delivers resin and hardener together for a black, low-odour bond that reaches handling strength in about 50 seconds. It works on fibreglass, metal and plastic surfaces both inside and outside the vehicle.
What to check before ordering
The adhesive is supplied in a dual-cartridge format that requires a compatible applicator such as the 08571 and mixer tip 0819. Verify that your substrate is listed among the bonded materials and that the working time suits the size of the repair. Note the California Proposition 65 warning for reproductive-harm chemicals.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
Suited to technicians and DIYers fixing semi-rigid plastic panels, bumper covers or interior trim where a fast, black cure is needed. Not for jobs requiring water resistance or marine-grade durability, nor for buyers who need a single-component product or a larger cartridge size.
