FAQs
What types of materials can AS1414 bond effectively?
AS1414 is highly effective for bonding foam, cardboard, fabric, paper, wood, cork, and other fibrous materials. It is specifically formulated for porous substrates.
What materials should I avoid using this adhesive on?
You should avoid using AS1414 on plasticised PVC, PVC-coated materials, rubber, and expanded polystyrene (EPS foam). It is also not recommended for surfaces that will exceed 50°C.
How long does the adhesive need to become tacky before joining surfaces?
The adhesive typically needs 30 seconds to 2 minutes to become tacky. This can vary slightly based on ambient temperature and humidity.
Can I use this adhesive for outdoor applications?
While it provides a strong bond, the maximum operating temperature is 50°C. For applications exposed to extreme heat or prolonged moisture, its suitability may be limited. Always test in conditions representative of the intended use.
How do I clean up any excess adhesive?
Wipe away any fresh, uncured adhesive with a suitable solvent immediately after application. Once cured, removal can be more difficult and may require mechanical means or specialized removers.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Please refer to the product packaging for the specific expiry date. Proper storage in a cool, dry place is essential to maintain product integrity.
Is the spray pattern adjustable?
Yes, the AS1414 features a variable spray pattern, allowing you to adjust the width and direction of the spray for optimal application coverage.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not spraying or spraying weakly
Ensure the can is adequately shaken. Check if the nozzle is clogged; if so, turn the can upside down and spray to clear it. If still clogged, remove the nozzle (if possible) and clean with a solvent, then reattach.
Poor adhesion or bond failure
Verify that surfaces were clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application. Ensure the adhesive was allowed to become tacky before bonding. Check if the materials are compatible with the adhesive; avoid using on unsuitable plastics or materials exceeding the temperature limit.
Uneven spray pattern
Adjust the spray nozzle settings. Ensure the can is held at a consistent distance and angle during application. Shake the can more frequently during use.
Excessive overspray or drips
Reduce the spray width by adjusting the nozzle. Increase the distance from the surface. Ensure the can is held upright and not over-saturated onto the surface.

- Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or grease.
- Adjust the nozzle to the desired spray pattern (vertical or horizontal, wide or narrow).
- Apply adhesive evenly to one or both surfaces from a distance of approximately 15-25 cm (6-10 inches).
- Allow the adhesive to become tacky for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity, before joining the surfaces.
- Press surfaces together firmly for a strong bond.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for: Foam, cardboard, fabric, paper, wood, cork, and other fibrous materials.
- Not Suitable for: Plasticised PVC, PVC-coated materials, rubber, expanded polystyrene (EPS), or surfaces with temperatures exceeding 50°C.
Care:
