FAQs
Can I reposition the item once I've applied the adhesive?
Due to its high-strength instant grab, repositioning is very difficult once the surfaces are brought together. It is crucial to align the items correctly before pressing them into place.
Do I need a special applicator gun?
Yes, this 290ml adhesive requires a standard skeleton-style caulking gun designed for 290ml cartridges. The gun is not included with the adhesive.
Is this adhesive suitable for all types of plastic?
It bonds well to many common plastics, but testing on a small, hidden area is recommended as performance can vary depending on the plastic type.
How long does the adhesive take to fully cure?
While it provides an instant grab, full curing typically takes 24-48 hours, depending on temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the adhesive bead. Avoid stressing the bond during this period.
Can I use this adhesive for structural applications?
This product is designed for general construction, fitting, and repair where strong bonding is needed, but not typically for load-bearing structural applications. Always consult with a structural engineer for such requirements.
What is the shelf life of an unopened cartridge?
Unopened cartridges, stored correctly in a cool, dry place, generally have a shelf life of 12-18 months. Refer to the packaging for the exact expiry date.
Can I paint over the adhesive once it's cured?
Yes, once fully cured, the adhesive can be painted over with most common paint types. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before painting.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not dispensing
Ensure the cartridge is properly loaded into the caulking gun and the trigger is fully engaged. Check that the nozzle tip has been cut and the inner seal is punctured.
Poor adhesion or slow grab
Verify that surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Ensure adequate adhesive has been applied and that surfaces are held together firmly during the initial grab period. Surface temperature may also affect performance; ensure it is within the recommended application range.
Excessive stringing during application
Some stringing can occur with high-grab adhesives. Reduce the speed of application and ensure the caulking gun has a 'drip-free' mechanism engaged if available. Cut the nozzle to a smaller opening for a finer bead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Requires a standard 290ml cartridge caulking gun for application. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Cut the nozzle tip to the desired bead size and puncture the inner seal. Load the cartridge into the caulking gun.
Compatibility: Suitable for bonding a wide range of porous and non-porous surfaces including wood, plaster, concrete, brick, stone, plasterboard, tiles, metal, and some plastics. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially with sensitive materials or painted surfaces.
Care: Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place, upright, with the nozzle sealed. Once opened, the adhesive has a limited shelf life. Clean up any excess uncured adhesive immediately with a suitable solvent (refer to product label for recommendations) or a damp cloth. Cured adhesive can be removed mechanically.
