Product Information
Full details
Evo-Stik Serious Glue is a high-performance, single-component MS polymer adhesive designed for DIYers and professionals who need an industrial-strength bond for almost any material. Its primary benefit is its incredible versatility and the ability to bond even on damp surfaces or underwater, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor repairs. One caveat is that, while it provides a permanent lifetime bond, it may not be suitable for applications requiring rapid setting times compared to standard super glues.

FAQs
Can I use this glue on plastics?
It is suitable for many materials, but testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended for specific plastics as some low-energy plastics may not bond well.
How long does it take to cure?
While it sets relatively quickly, it achieves full strength over 24-48 hours depending on the temperature and humidity.
Is it safe for use in fish ponds?
Yes, its ability to cure underwater and its solvent-free formulation make it effective for many aquatic repair applications.
Can this glue be painted over?
Yes, once fully cured, most types of paint can be applied over the adhesive line.
Is it heat resistant?
It is designed to withstand normal environmental temperature fluctuations but is not recommended for high-heat applications like stovetops or engines.
Troubleshooting
Glue is difficult to squeeze out of the tube
The nozzle may have a dried plug from previous use. Use a pin to clear the tip or trim a small amount off the nozzle tip.
The bond feels loose after several hours
Ensure surfaces were held in place with clamps or tape during the initial cure phase; verify the glue has had sufficient exposure to moisture.
Excess glue spilled on surrounding surface
Wipe away uncured excess immediately with a dry cloth. Once cured, the glue must be removed mechanically with a sharp blade or scraper.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Bonds successfully to damp surfaces and underwater
- Extremely versatile across common construction materials
- Solvent-free and odourless formula
- Provides a long-lasting, heavy-duty permanent bond
Cons
- Curing time is longer than traditional cyanoacrylate super glues
- Not intended for structural load-bearing joints
- Difficult to remove once fully cured
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the adhesive, ensure that the bonding surfaces are free from loose dust, dirt, or oil. While it works on damp surfaces, removing standing water improves the initial tack. Apply the glue to one surface in beads or spots, press the materials together firmly, and hold or clamp them in place to ensure contact while the moisture-curing process initiates.
Keep the nozzle clean after use to prevent clogging. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because it cures through moisture, ensure the cap is tightly sealed after every application to prevent the contents of the tube from hardening prematurely.
