It improves the performance of threadlockers and retaining compounds, accelerates curing, and helps ensure reliable adhesion in the correct applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAP-1 is specifically intended for use with Park Tool TLR-1 Medium Strength Threadlocker, TLR-2 High Strength Threadlocker, and RC-1 Press Fit Retaining Compound. It is used to pretreat parts, fasteners, threads, and mating surfaces before applying the actual locking agent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is especially important when a threadlocker or retaining compound is in contact with a carbon fiber frame or carbon fiber component. According to Park Tool, AP-1 should be used on all areas of parts, fasteners, and carbon fiber surfaces where TLR-1, TLR-2, or RC-1 products come into contact with carbon fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEssential pretreatment for carbon fiber frames and press-fit installations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePark Tool AP-1 is not a threadlocker or retaining compound itself, but a pretreatment agent. Its task is to prepare the surface so that TLR-1, TLR-2, and RC-1 products perform as intended. This is particularly important in the context of press-fit bottom brackets, bearings, threaded parts, and carbon fiber frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the RC-1 Retaining Compound, AP-1 is suitable for pretreating press-fit bottom brackets, bearing housings, and other zero-clearance press-fit joints. With TLR-1 and TLR-2 threadlockers, it can be used on threads and fasteners where improved compound performance and controlled curing are desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn carbon fiber applications, AP-1 is especially important because, without proper priming, the locking agent can bond to the surface too permanently. For this reason, it should always be used according to the manufacturer's instructions, particularly for PF30-style bottom brackets, carbon fiber frames, and bearings that are pressed into carbon fiber structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted surfaces can be sensitive to primers and locking agents. If necessary, test on an inconspicuous area and wipe any excess material off painted surfaces immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications and features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003ePrimer for Park Tool TLR-1, TLR-2, and RC-1 products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003ePrepares surfaces for threadlockers and retaining compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eAccelerates the curing of locking agents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eImproves the performance of TLR-1, TLR-2, and RC-1 products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eRecommended for threads, fasteners, bearing surfaces, and press-fit installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eEssential for use with carbon fiber surfaces as per manufacturer instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eParticularly suitable for press-fit bottom bracket and bearing installations in carbon fiber frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eApplied before the actual threadlocker or retaining compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eIs not an independent adhesive, threadlocker, or retaining compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eComparable to Loctite 7649-type primer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Park Tool AP-1 Adhesive Primer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adhesive primer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface pretreatment for threadlockers and retaining compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Park Tool products:\u003c\/strong\u003e TLR-1, TLR-2, RC-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Threads, fasteners, press-fit parts, bearing housings, carbon fiber surfaces (as per manufacturer instructions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e AP-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAN \/ UPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 763477000088\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSales unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Park Tool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57435043660100,"sku":"AP-1","price":42.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/6068\/7940\/files\/park-tool-ap-1-adhesive-primer_orig.jpg?v=1791572085","url":"https:\/\/www.ridemore.fi\/en\/products\/park-tool-ap-1-adhesive-primer","provider":"Ride More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
