FAQs

What materials can I use Evo-Stik 528 on?

Evo-Stik 528 is suitable for bonding wood, laminates, metals, some plastics, and rubber.

How do I prepare the surfaces for bonding?

Clean the surfaces to be bonded, ensuring they are dry and free from dust, grease, or other contaminants.

How long should I wait after applying the adhesive before joining the surfaces?

Allow the adhesive to become tacky, usually for a few minutes, before joining the surfaces. This allows the solvent to evaporate.

How should I store Evo-Stik 528?

Store Evo-Stik 528 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the container is properly sealed when not in use.

What should I do if the adhesive gets on my skin?

Remove the adhesive with a solvent like acetone or toluene and wash the affected area with soap and water. Always follow the solvent manufacturer’s safety instructions.

Is Evo-Stik 528 suitable for outdoor use?

While it offers good temperature resistance, prolonged exposure to weather elements may affect the bond. Consider the specific environmental conditions of the outdoor application.

What safety precautions should I take when using Evo-Stik 528?

Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection. This product is age-restricted and ID will be required upon purchase.

How do I clean up spills?

Clean up spills immediately with a suitable solvent, such as acetone or toluene, while the adhesive is still wet. Always follow the solvent manufacturer’s safety instructions.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive isn't sticking properly.

Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Apply an even coat to both surfaces and allow the solvent to evaporate before joining.

Bond fails after application.

Check if the surfaces were properly prepared and if sufficient pressure was applied during bonding. Also, check the expiration date of the adhesive.

Adhesive is too thick.

Ensure you are using the correct product for the application and store it properly. If the product is old, it might be expired and lose some of its properties.
