Many times when a solvent or adhesive is used it is important that it is not applied too thick. Microscope World recently had a customer that needed to measure the thickness of an adhesive they were applying in the manufacturing process. Making sure they were not using too much of the adhesive saves money on supplies, and also ensures that the adhesive cures properly to apply a solid bond.
