Product Specifications Volume 250ml tin Colour Amber Coverage Approximately 2.8m² per 500ml (single surface coat) Bond Type Contact bond — instant grab on contact Full Cure Time 24 hours Application Method Brush or spatula (spatula included with tin) Clamping Required No Surface Compatibility Porous and non-porous surfaces Suitable Materials Wood, MDF, laminate, metal, PVC, cork, leather, rubber, glass, mirror, stone, ceramics Grade Multi-purpose / light industrial Key Features Instant Contact Bond Bonds on contact — no clamping, no waiting. Ideal for fast-paced trade and fabrication work. Multi-Surface Formula Adheres to wood, metal, rubber, glass, ceramics, PVC, cork, leather, stone, and more. Non-Porous Bonding Effectively bonds non-porous surfaces such as metal-to-metal — a capability many standard adhesives lack. High-Strength Cure Full bond strength achieved within 24 hours, delivering a lasting, resilient hold. Generous Coverage Covers approximately 2.8m² per 500ml on a single surface coat — efficient and economical. Ready-to-Use Tin Supplied in a 250ml tin with spatula included for immediate, mess-free application. Typical Applications Rubber sheet and strip bonding Laminate and MDF fabrication Upholstery and leather repair Cork flooring and tile installation Metal-to-metal bonding Gasket and sealing strip fitting Glass and mirror mounting General trade and DIY repairs Stone and ceramic fixing Light industrial assembly How to Apply Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Apply a thin, even coat of adhesive to both surfaces using the spatula provided. Allow both coated surfaces to become touch-dry (typically 5–10 minutes depending on conditions). Bring the two surfaces together firmly and accurately — repositioning is not possible once contact is made. Apply firm pressure across the bond area. Full cure is achieved within 24 hours. Frequently Asked Questions What surfaces can this adhesive bond? It bonds wood, MDF, laminate, metal, PVC, cork, leather, rubber, glass, mirror, stone, and ceramics — including non-porous surface-to-surface combinations such as metal to metal. Does it require clamping after application? No. It bonds on contact, so no clamping or mechanical support is needed. Simply press the surfaces together firmly once both coats are touch-dry. How long until full bond strength is reached? Full strength is achieved within 24 hours. Initial contact bond is immediate, but allow the full cure period for maximum performance. What is the coverage per tin? A 500ml quantity covers approximately 2.8m² based on a single surface coat. The 250ml tin covers approximately 1.4m² on one surface. Can it be used for rubber sealing strips and gaskets? Yes. It is well suited for bonding rubber strips, gaskets, and sealing profiles to metal, wood, and other substrates — a common use in fabrication and installation work. Is this adhesive suitable for upholstery? Yes. It bonds leather, cork, and fabric-backed materials effectively, making it suitable for upholstery repairs and fitting applications.
