How to use
Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, dirt, rust, oil, and other contaminants.
We recommend a preliminary test of the compatibility of the adhesive with adjoining materials before use.
Application
- To bond non-absorbent surfaces such as metal or glass, use a brush to apply a thin film of adhesive to both surfaces. Allow 5 to 10 minutes drying time and then, having correctly positioned the surfaces, press them together firmly. The bond will be instant and non-adjustable.
- If one or both surfaces are absorbent apply a generous film of adhesive to one surface only and immediately join the two surfaces together under pressure. Note: using this technique, initial bond strengths will be lower.
Cleaning
- Remove excess uncured sealant with a damp cloth or water immediately.
- Cured sealant is best removed by mechanical scraping or sanding.
- Use Bostik Handy Wipe towels to remove adhesive from skin.

FAQs
Why is viscosity important in adhesives?
Viscosity refers to how easily an adhesive flows. Products with a lower viscosity are thinner and spread more easily, while higher-viscosity products are thicker and offer greater control during application.
In adhesive applications, viscosity can influence how a product spreads, fills gaps and performs on vertical surfaces, making it an important factor when selecting the right adhesive for a project.
What is the difference between Repair All and Super Glue?
Bostik Repair All and Bostik Super Glue are designed for different types of repairs. Bostik Super Glue is a fast-curing cyanoacrylate adhesive that forms a strong bond within seconds, making it ideal for quick repairs and precision bonding.
Bostik Repair All is a flexible multipurpose adhesive designed to bond a wide range of materials while accommodating movement and vibration after curing. It is often a better choice for repairs where flexibility and versatility are more important than extremely fast bonding.
How do you remove Repair All from your fingers?
If Bostik Repair All gets on your fingers, wipe away any excess adhesive as soon as possible before it cures.
For cured or excess adhesive residue, use an appropriate remover such as acetone or nail varnish remover and clean the affected area carefully. Wash your hands thoroughly after cleanup.
For detailed step-by-step guidance, see the How to remove glue from your fingers article, which explains how to safely deal with adhesive on skin and minimise discomfort during removal.
How long does Repair All last?
Bostik Repair All has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored under the recommended conditions.
For best results, store the adhesive in a cool, dry place and keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Proper storage can help maintain product performance throughout its shelf life.
What makes a surface ready for Repair All?
Before applying Bostik Repair All, ensure the bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease, oil and loose material that could interfere with adhesion.
Good contact between the materials is important for achieving a strong bond, so remove any surface contamination and make sure the parts fit together properly before applying the adhesive.
