The Everbuild Stixall Sealant and Adhesive in Grey is a highly versatile, all-in-one solution for both sealing and bonding tasks, ingeniously combining the strengths of silicone and polyurethane technologies. It delivers powerful initial grab and strong adhesion across diverse surfaces, even in wet conditions, making it an indispensable tool for a wide array of indoor and outdoor projects. However, it's important to note that for heavy overhead applications, the use of mechanical fixings is strongly recommended to ensure optimal security and longevity.
Hybrid Technology: Fuses silicone and polyurethane properties for superior sealing and bonding performance.
Exceptional Bonding Strength: Offers incredible initial grab and high bonding strength, making it effective as a high-quality nail replacement adhesive.
All-Weather Performance: Fully waterproof and weatherproof, it maintains integrity even when applied to wet surfaces, suitable for challenging environments.
Solvent-Free Formula: A safer, solvent-free composition that provides excellent resistance to temperature extremes (-40°C to +150°C) and chemicals like petrol and dilute acids/alkalis.
Versatile Adhesion: Delivers excellent primer-less adhesion to an extensive range of common building materials, including metals, plastics, glass, concrete, plaster, and wood.
Overpaintable: Once cured, the sealant can be painted over, allowing for seamless integration and a finished aesthetic.
High initial grab and strong bonding power
Can be applied effectively to wet surfaces
Excellent resistance to weather and chemical exposure
Achieves primer-less adhesion on most building materials
Compatible with painting once fully cured
Formulated without solvents for reduced hazards
Requires mechanical fixings for heavy overhead applications
Temporary support is necessary for heavy items until the adhesive fully dries
May exhibit slight discolouration in areas of high UV exposure, though performance is unaffected
Compatibility testing is advised before overpainting to ensure optimal results

Everbuild Stixall excels in demanding sealing and bonding applications, leveraging its advanced hybrid formulation. Its high initial grab minimizes movement after placement, making it an effective alternative to nails for securing items like skirting boards or trims. The product's inherent waterproof and weatherproof properties ensure reliable performance in outdoor settings, such as perimeter pointing around windows and doors, or sealing joints on cladding panels, even if surfaces are damp. Its robust resistance to temperature extremes (-40°C to +150°C) and various chemicals (e.g., petrol, dilute acids/alkalis) broadens its utility to specialized areas like automotive gap filling or environments prone to chemical spills. Stixall bonds effectively to a wide spectrum of common building materials—including metals, plastics, glass, concrete, plaster, and wood—often without the need for a primer, simplifying many construction and repair tasks. For example, when bonding a mirror, its strong adhesion provides a secure fixture, although careful application is needed to prevent premature sealing of edges.
Setup & Application:
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean and free from loose debris. While Stixall performs on wet surfaces, dry conditions generally yield the best bond.
Application: Cut the nozzle to the desired bead size. Apply the sealant/adhesive using a standard mastic gun in continuous beads for sealing or in dots for bonding.
Bonding Heavy Items: When bonding heavy objects, apply sufficient adhesive and provide temporary support, such as clamps or props, until the adhesive is fully cured.
Overhead Applications: For overhead bonding, always supplement the adhesive with mechanical fixings to ensure long-term stability and safety.
Curing: Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure completely before placing stress on bonded items. Curing time can vary with temperature and humidity.
Compatibility:
Substrates: Offers excellent primer-less adhesion to most common building materials, including metals, plastics, glass, concrete, plaster, wood, and painted surfaces.
Overpainting: Stixall can be overpainted. Always conduct a compatibility test on a small, inconspicuous area with your chosen paint before full application.
Specific Applications: Avoid sealing the edges of mirrors or plastic sheeting until the adhesive has fully cured to prevent potential issues.
Care & Maintenance:
Cleaning: Remove excess uncured Stixall immediately with a suitable cleaner or solvent. Once cured, the material may require mechanical removal by cutting or scraping.
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its shelf life and effectiveness.
UV Exposure: In areas subjected to high UV radiation, the sealant may exhibit slight darkening or discolouration over time. This is a cosmetic change and does not compromise the product's performance or bonding strength.
