Product Information
Full details
Rewmar Flexyfix is a high-performance, single-component hybrid polymer adhesive designed for professional installers and dedicated DIYers who require rapid, reliable bonding for diverse materials like wood flooring, stair nosings, and skirting boards. Its primary benefit is a massive holding strength of 380kg per cm² combined with a fast-curing, solvent-free formula that maintains essential elasticity over time, though users should note it requires a clean, dust-free substrate to ensure the maximum bond integrity the product is known for.

FAQs
Is Rewmar Flexyfix suitable for outdoor use?
While it is a robust hybrid polymer, it is primarily designed for internal professional flooring and joinery installations.
Do I need to prime the surface before application?
Generally, no, provided the surface is clean, sound, and free of dust or oils.
How long does it take to cure?
The adhesive is fast-curing, but final bond strength depends on ambient temperature and humidity; allow 24 hours for full strength.
Can this be used on uneven surfaces?
Yes, its thick consistency allows for minor gap-filling, though excessive gaps should be minimized for the strongest bond.
Is this adhesive paintable?
Once fully cured, most hybrid polymer adhesives can be painted with high-quality water-based paints, but testing on a small area first is recommended.
What is the shelf life of an opened cartridge?
If properly capped and stored in a cool environment, it can typically be reused, but for best performance, use within a reasonable timeframe after opening.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is difficult to extrude from the cartridge.
Ensure the nozzle is cut wide enough and check that the temperature of the cartridge isn't too cold, as low temperatures can increase viscosity.
The bond does not appear to be holding properly.
Verify that the substrate was free of dust and grease. A non-stick or dirty surface is the most common cause of premature bond failure.
Excess adhesive has squeezed out of the joints.
Wipe away excess adhesive immediately using a dry cloth or a solvent-based cleaner suitable for hybrid polymers before it cures.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional 380kg/cm² bond strength
- Stays flexible to accommodate substrate movement
- Safe, low-VOC, solvent-free formulation
- Works on both porous and non-porous surfaces
- Fast-curing properties improve project speed
Cons
- Requires completely clean, sound, and dust-free surfaces for optimal results
- Limited to standard cartridge gun application
- May require mechanical bracing for heavy vertical elements while curing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, the surface must be structurally sound, dry, and free from loose particles, oil, or grease. If applying to very dusty surfaces, use a vacuum or a dry brush before application to allow the hybrid polymer to achieve full contact.
- Cut the nozzle to your desired bead width.
- Apply the adhesive to the back of the component or onto the substrate.
- Press the materials firmly together immediately.
- Ensure components remain in their final position while curing.
Keep the cartridge stored in a cool, dry place. Ensure the nozzle is capped tightly between uses to prevent the adhesive from curing prematurely inside the tip.
