To enhance the high temperature properties, a post cure may be used: 2 hours at 300°F (149°C) followed by 2 hours at 375°F (191°C) L-956 may be bonded into various structures using L-313 high temperature adhesive and L-309 corrosion inhibiting primer. 350°F (177°C) flatwise tension values with L-313 adhesive exceed 950 PSI (6.6 MPa) against 1/8” (3.175 mm) cell aluminum core. Typical construction techniques utilize a layer of fiberglass prepreg such as L-556 for dissimilar metal protection against metallic details or metal honeycomb. In addition a layer of L-556 may be used to provide softening of graphite to metal joints where local loads need to be distributed to avoid local metal overload failure.
