FAQs
What is the best way to apply the adhesive for optimal grip?
Apply the adhesive in parallel beads (approx. 6mm) to one surface, leaving a small gap around the edges to prevent excessive squeeze-out. Press the surfaces together firmly within 10-15 minutes.
How long does it take for the adhesive to fully cure?
The full cure time is approximately 48 hours, depending on the thickness of the bead applied and the ambient temperature and humidity.
Can this adhesive be used on mirrors?
While it adheres to many surfaces, it is not specifically recommended for mirror backing due to potential chemical reactions or damage to the mirror silvering. Always test on a sample first.
Is the Bond It Gripbond suitable for exterior use?
Yes, it is suitable for both interior and exterior applications and offers all-weather performance.
What materials is this adhesive NOT suitable for?
It is generally not recommended for use on polystyrene foam (unless it's insulating PU foam), polyethylene, polypropylene, or Teflon. Always test on a small area first for compatibility.
How should I store the adhesive cartridge?
Store in its original, unopened tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure it is kept away from sources of ignition as it is highly flammable.
What is the shelf life of this product?
The shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in unopened tubes under recommended conditions.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not dispensing
Ensure the cartridge nozzle is cut to the correct size and that the cartridge is properly loaded into a suitable sealant gun. Check for any blockages.
Poor adhesion or bond failure
Verify that surfaces were clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Ensure sufficient adhesive was applied and surfaces were pressed together firmly within the open time.
Adhesive remains tacky after 48 hours
This can occur in very cold temperatures or if a very thick bead was applied. Ensure application is within the recommended temperature range and allow additional time for curing. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Solvent damage to plastics
Always test the adhesive on a small, hidden area of the plastic first. If damage occurs, do not use the adhesive on that type of plastic. Consider alternative fixing methods.

- Provides a very strong initial grab, reducing the need for temporary support.
- Excellent gap-filling properties accommodate uneven surfaces.
- Suitable for a wide range of common building materials.
- Can be used effectively in various weather conditions, including cold temperatures.
- Reduces the need for drilling and mechanical fasteners, simplifying installation.
Cons
- Highly flammable, requiring careful handling and storage away from ignition sources.
- Requires testing on certain plastics to ensure compatibility and avoid solvent attack.
- Full cure time of 48 hours means items are not fully set immediately.
- Solvent-based, may have strong odors during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and oil.
- For best results, roughen smooth surfaces slightly.
- Cut the nozzle to achieve the desired bead size (typically 6mm).
- Apply the adhesive in parallel beads to one surface, leaving a small gap around the edges.
- Press the surfaces firmly together within 10-15 minutes of application.
- Temporary support may be required for heavy items until the adhesive is fully cured.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for: Brick, timber, stone, concrete, ceramic, marble, plasterboard, and some plastics (test first).
- Not suitable for: Polystyrene foam (unless specifically an insulating PU foam), polyethylene, polypropylene, or Teflon. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area before full application, especially with plastics and painted surfaces.
Care & Storage:
- Store in unopened tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep away from sources of ignition.
- Use within 12 months of the manufacture date for optimal performance.
- Clean up uncured adhesive with a cloth dampened with mild solvents. Cured adhesive can be removed mechanically.
