Product Information
Full details
Bond It Contact Adhesive is a premium-grade, solvent-based solution designed for DIYers and professionals who need a high-strength bond across diverse materials like wood, metal, rubber, and masonry. Its key advantage is a high-grab formula that provides a long open time, allowing for easier alignment before the final bond sets; however, users should note that as a solvent-based product, it requires a well-ventilated workspace and careful handling.

FAQs
Can I use this for outdoor projects?
Yes, but it must be protected from direct sunlight and water exposure once applied.
Is it suitable for polystyrene?
No, solvent-based contact adhesives will typically melt polystyrene. Always test on a small sample area first.
How do I remove excess adhesive?
Before it dries, it can often be cleaned with a suitable solvent cleaner. Once fully cured, mechanical removal may be necessary.
Does this adhesive work on damp surfaces?
For best performance, surfaces must be clean and completely dry to ensure a proper bond.
Can I apply this with a spray gun?
This specific 5L container is formulated for brush or trowel application; standard spray equipment may clog.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not forming a strong bond
Ensure both surfaces were clean and dry. Check that you allowed enough time for the solvent to evaporate to a 'tacky' state before joining.
Adhesive remains wet for too long
Apply in thinner layers. Thicker applications take longer to release solvents, extending the open time significantly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent bonding strength on porous and non-porous surfaces
- Allows for repositioning due to long open time
- Versatile application across many building materials
- No mixing required
Cons
- Requires well-ventilated area due to solvent base
- Not intended for continuous underwater or submerged applications
- Needs protection from direct sunlight if used externally
- Solvent-based formulas are flammable and must be kept away from ignition sources
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for application, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose particles. Apply the adhesive uniformly using a brush or notched trowel. For maximum strength, follow the two-surface application method: coat both sides, allow the solvents to evaporate until the surface feels tacky, then join the surfaces with firm pressure. When using the product externally, it must be shielded from direct sunlight and rain to maintain its integrity. Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent solvent evaporation. Always use personal protective equipment, such as gloves, and work in an area with active airflow.
