As an anchor is inserted into adhesive, what practice should be followed?

  1. Insert it quickly

  2. Rotate it slowly

  3. Pull it back once inserted

  4. Twist it continuously

The correct answer is: Rotate it slowly

When inserting an anchor into adhesive, it is important to rotate it slowly. This practice allows for better distribution of the adhesive within the hole and ensures that the adhesive effectively covers the surface of the anchor as well as the sides of the hole. By rotating slowly, you can also help to eliminate any air pockets that might form, which could impair the bond between the adhesive and the surfaces of the anchor and the base material. This method promotes a more thorough setting of the adhesive as it prevents excessive pressure from being applied to the surrounding material, allowing for a gradual engagement that can enhance the overall anchorage quality. Properly following this technique contributes to achieving the intended load capacity and structural integrity expected from the adhesive anchor system.
