  "term": "Closed assembly time",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The time between joining two adhesive-coated parts and applying clamping pressure, while the glue line is closed between them. Within the limit set by the adhesive and the shop conditions, parts can still be shifted or clamped; beyond it, the glue has begun to set and the bond is weak. It follows the open assembly time, the interval from spreading the adhesive to bringing the parts together.",
