The assembly methods of food-grade silicone bracelets mainly vary according to their design types. Common ones include spliced type and one-piece molding with additional decorative parts. The following is a detailed introduction:
Assembly of food-grade silicone bracelets with splicing
Prepare materials and tools
Materials: Food-grade silicone bracelet components of different colors or styles. These components are usually pre-made through molds, and their shapes and sizes match each other. Food-grade silicone adhesive also needs to be prepared. It has good adhesion and safety, which can ensure the firm connection of components.
Tools: Clips or small fixing devices used to secure the bracelet components during the bonding process and prevent them from moving; Cleaning cloth, used to wipe the surface of components to ensure the cleanliness of the bonding surface.
Assembly steps
Clean the components: Carefully wipe the surface of the silicone components to be spliced with a cleaning cloth to remove dust, oil stains and other impurities, ensuring that the bonding surface is clean and dry to improve the bonding effect.
Apply adhesive: Evenly apply an appropriate amount of food-grade silicone adhesive on the joint surface of one of the components. When applying, pay attention to controlling the amount of adhesive used to avoid excessive use causing overflow and affecting the appearance of the bracelet. It should not be too little either, so as not to bond firmly.
Splicing components: Align the component coated with adhesive accurately with another component, and then gently press to make the two components fit tightly together. During the splicing process, it is necessary to ensure the accurate position of the components to avoid misalignment.
Fixation and curing: Use clips or fixing devices to secure the assembled bracelet components to prevent them from moving during the bonding process. Then place the fixed bracelet in a well-ventilated and dry area to allow the adhesive to cure naturally. The curing time varies depending on the type of adhesive and the ambient temperature. Generally, it takes several hours or even longer to wait until the adhesive is completely cured and the bracelet components are firmly connected together.
One-piece molding with additional decorative parts assembly
Prepare materials and tools
Material: The main body of the food-grade silicone bracelet formed in one piece; Decorative items, such as small pendants and patches, are usually made of food-grade silicone or other safe materials. Food-grade silicone glue or double-sided tape (if it is double-sided tape, make sure its material is safe and will not cause harm to children).
Tools: Tweezers, used for picking up and placing small decorative items; Scissors, used for trimming double-sided tape (if double-sided tape is used).
Assembly steps
Determine the decorative position: First, place the main body of the one-piece silicone bracelet on a flat table, carefully observe its surface, and determine the placement position of the decorative parts according to the design or personal preference.
Handling decorative items: If food-grade silicone glue is used, apply the glue directly to the back of the decorative item. If double-sided tape is used, cut it into the appropriate shape and size with scissors, stick it on the back of the decorative piece, and gently press it to ensure a firm bond between the double-sided tape and the decorative piece.
Stick the decorative pieces: Use tweezers to pick up the processed decorative pieces and accurately place them at the pre-determined positions on the main body of the bracelet. Then gently press the decorative piece to make it fully contact the main body of the bracelet and ensure a firm adhesion. During the pressing process, be sure to apply moderate force to avoid damaging the decorative pieces or the main body of the bracelet.
Inspection and adjustment: After the decorative pieces are pasted, carefully check their pasting effect to see if there is any skewing, loosening or other conditions. If there are any problems, make adjustments or re-paste in time.
