7.2.2 ‘No Cure’
Having checked for the presence of adhesive (‘No Glue’), the next step is to check whether the adhesive has fully cured. This should be a relatively straightforward analysis, as uncured adhesive will be in a liquid or gel state, may be tacky to the touch or show signs of discolouration (which, in the case of 2C adhesives, may indicate insufficient mixing). This step should be relatively easy to check when the components are separated.
