NO MORE NAILS

Make sure both surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust. Remove any loose or flaking paint and lightly sand the surface before application. Apply a 4–6mm bead of adhesive to one prepared surface using a cartridge or extrusion gun. Keep beads no more than 45cm apart, then bring both surfaces together immediately. For the two-way method, press surfaces together, pull apart, allow 3–5 minutes to tack off, then reposition and press firmly. For heavier panels, clamp, nail or screw the materials in place to maintain contact while the bond develops.

Applications

This no nails adhesive can be used for installing wall and floor panels, bonding timber, metal, cementitious sheets, and plaster sheets to timber or metal studs, and fixing battens or other fittings to brick, masonry, or concrete walls. It can also be used as a general-purpose construction adhesive for DIY building tasks and to help reduce floor squeaks by applying adhesive into board grooves before fitting the next board.

Limitations

Always test before bonding with this nail free glue. Do not apply when substrate surface temperatures exceed 30°C, and do not use where the bond will be exposed to continued elevated temperatures. Some PVC materials may be affected by plasticiser migration. Veneer plywood may also be affected if solvent soaks through the ply and causes bubbling of the veneer. Wet or partially wet adhesive can be removed by scraping, while dried adhesive is best removed with a scraper or by sanding.
