GT-M 10:1 Manual Applicator Gun (490 mL)
The GT-M 10:1 is a manual, hand-operated applicator gun designed for 490 mL 10:1 side-by-side two-component cartridges. It gives fabrication, sign, and display teams a durable manual option for dispensing higher-viscosity structural adhesives and sealants without needing pneumatic or battery-powered equipment.
Advantages
- High 52:1 mechanical thrust ratio for reduced hand strain when dispensing thicker adhesives
- Purpose-built for 490 mL, 10:1 side-by-side cartridge formats
- Delivers up to 4.9 kN of output force for controlled, consistent dispensing
- Reinforced trigger and aluminum alloy handle built for repeated daily use
- Chrome-plated push rod and steel carriage for long service life
- Suitable for cold-weather or higher-viscosity adhesive formulations

Application Details
- Dispensing two-part structural adhesive cartridges in sign, display, and plastics fabrication
- Bonding acrylic, polycarbonate, and dissimilar substrates in shop or bench settings
- Field and production-line work where a durable manual applicator is preferred over pneumatic tools
- Suitable for shops working with 400–490 mL, 10:1 side-by-side cartridge adhesives
Application Process
Confirm the cartridge is a compatible 10:1, 400–490 mL side-by-side format. Load the cartridge securely into the gun carriage. Attach the correct mixing nozzle/tip before dispensing to ensure proper A/B component mixing. Squeeze the trigger with steady, even pressure to dispense a controlled bead. Release trigger pressure fully between applications to avoid excess material discharge. Clean the gun mechanism and carriage after use to prevent adhesive buildup.
Packaging Sizes
- Supplied as a standalone manual applicator gun
- Approximate shipping weight: 5 lbs
- Approximate dimensions: 15 × 9 × 5 in
Storage & Shelf Life
- Store in a clean, dry environment away from adhesive residue buildup
- Keep moving parts (push rod, carriage) lightly maintained to prevent corrosion or seizing
- As a mechanical tool, the gun itself has no fixed shelf life, but should be inspected periodically for wear
Special Note & Safety
Always match the gun to the correct cartridge ratio and size (10:1, 400–490 mL) to avoid mechanical strain or malfunction Use only with mixing nozzles/tips designed for the intended adhesive to ensure proper component mixing Follow the adhesive manufacturer's own safety data sheet (SDS) for handling precautions related to the material being dispensed Not intended for pneumatic or battery-powered cartridge formats
