The Everbuild Instant Nails - White is a powerful, solvent-free adhesive designed for rapid, high-strength bonding in both interior and exterior home improvement projects. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking to eliminate mechanical fixings like screws and nails, it offers quick grab and impressive versatility across a wide range of common building materials. While exceptionally strong, achieving the optimal bond relies on proper application techniques and adherence to specified temperature ranges.
Quick Grab Formula: Significantly reduces the need for temporary support or clamping, allowing for faster project completion.
High Strength Adhesive: Provides a durable, permanent bond, capable of replacing traditional mechanical fixings in many applications.
Solvent-Free & Water Clean-Up: A safer choice for users and the environment, with easy clean-up of wet adhesive using just water.
Versatile Surface Adhesion: Bonds effectively to a broad spectrum of materials including wood, plasterboard, stone, concrete, metal, glass, plastics, and more.
Interior & Exterior Use: Formulated to perform reliably in various conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor tasks.
Over Paintable Finish: Dries to a white finish that can be painted over once cured, allowing for seamless integration with your decor.
Adheres to Damp Surfaces: Offers enhanced flexibility for application, as it can bond even when surfaces are slightly damp.
Fast Application: Quick grab feature saves time by minimizing clamping.
Eliminates Fixings: Often removes the need for drilling and screws, preserving surfaces and reducing effort.
Broad Material Compatibility: Works on almost all common building substrates.
Safe & User-Friendly: Solvent-free composition with easy water clean-up.
Durable & Long-Lasting: Forms a strong, permanent bond.
Paintable: Ensures a neat, finished look.
Temperature Sensitive: Requires application within a specific temperature range (+4°C to +40°C).
Not for Structural Use: While strong, it's not a substitute for structural integrity where mechanical fasteners are explicitly required by code or design.
Drying Time for Full Strength: Although it has quick grab, full cure strength takes time, requiring patience for load-bearing applications.
Potential for Mess: While water clean-up is easy, care must be taken during application to avoid excess.

Everbuild Instant Nails excels in situations where speed and strong adhesion are paramount, without the fuss of traditional mechanical fixings. Its quick grab characteristic means you can quickly position and secure items like skirting boards, dado rails, architraves, or decorative mouldings, then move on to the next task with minimal waiting. For example, attaching a wooden skirting board to a plaster wall can be done by applying beads of the adhesive, pressing the board firmly into place, and within moments, it will hold securely without the need for temporary nails or clamps, allowing you to paint or caulk the same day.
The high strength bond makes it suitable for heavier items such as lightweight wall panels, exterior trim, or even bonding ceramic tiles in non-critical areas. Its ability to adhere to damp surfaces is a significant advantage, particularly in outdoor scenarios or older properties where moisture might be present, allowing projects to proceed where other adhesives might fail.
Common applications include:
Fixing stair nosings and treads.
Attaching lightweight wall cladding and insulation boards (e.g., rockwool, PU foam).
Installing decorative coving and ceiling roses.
Securing floorboards and threshold strips.
Bonding various metals, glass, or plastic elements in non-structural contexts.
After drying, the adhesive is white and over paintable, ensuring a professional and consistent finish that blends seamlessly with painted surfaces.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, free from dust, grease, and loose material. While it adheres to damp surfaces, excessively wet or standing water should be removed. For best results, surfaces should be sound and well-prepared.
Cut Nozzle: Cut the nozzle at an angle to achieve the desired bead size.
Apply Adhesive: Apply the adhesive to one of the surfaces in continuous beads or dots. For larger items, apply multiple parallel beads. Ensure sufficient coverage.
Press Firmly: Bring the two surfaces together immediately and press firmly across the entire bonding area. A strong initial bond will form quickly.
Curing: Allow adequate time for the adhesive to fully cure and achieve maximum strength. While initial grab is fast, full strength develops over time.
Application Temperature: Apply only when the ambient temperature is between +4°C and +40°C.
Everbuild Instant Nails is highly versatile and compatible with a vast array of materials, including:
Wood
Plasterboard
Stone
Concrete
Metal
PVC
Most plastics

Wet Adhesive Clean-up: Any uncured (wet) adhesive can be easily cleaned up with water using a damp cloth or sponge.
Cured Adhesive: Once cured, the adhesive is permanent. Mechanical removal or scraping may be required for dried spills.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain product integrity.
