A premium grade, solvent based, yellow/ beige coloured, single component solvent‐based contact adh...A premium grade, solvent based, yellow/ beige coloured, single component solvent‐based contact adhesive. This product is toluene-free.
Uses: CONTACT ADHESIVE can be used for bonding cork, leather, rubber, metals, wood, chipboard, hardboard, laminated plastics (e.g. Formica), dense textiles, plaster, stone, concrete, cementitious screeds and smoothing compounds. It will bond rigid PVC and uPVC sheets but the materials should be checked for suitability prior to application as solvent attack can occur in some instances.
Bond It CONTACT ADHESIVE may also be used to bond lightweight materials to vertical surfaces and ceilings. It is predominantly designed for interior use but can be used externally when the adhesive is protected from direct sunlight and water.
This product is not suitable for polystyrene, polythene, polypropylene, silicone rubbers, bitumen or PTFE. The solvent in the contact adhesive may attack certain painted or lacquered surfaces.
APPLICATION:
Stir the glue thoroughly, prior to use, until a uniform consistency is obtained.
Apply the adhesive to both surfaces being bonded with a notched scraper, brush or trowel to produce a thin film. In cool, damp conditions take care that no condensation takes place on the glue lines as it will affect the adhesive bond. If condensation (evident by a grey "bloom" on the glue) does occur delay bonding until the glue is moisture-free. If the open time is exceeded, re-apply the adhesive to both surfaces. Leave the adhesive to become touch dry (approx 5-30 minutes).
This guide is for anyone using Bond It Heavy Duty Contact Adhesive - Beige, a premium-grade adhesive. It's ideal for bonding a wide range of materials, offering strong and reliable adhesion for interior and protected exterior applications. Keep in mind that it's not suitable for all materials, so check compatibility before use.

Troubleshooting
Adhesive isn't sticking properly.
Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry. Check the drying time and make sure you've waited the correct amount of time.
Adhesive appears to be 'blooming' or has a grey appearance.
This indicates condensation. Delay bonding until the glue is moisture-free. Ensure the work environment is not too damp.
Bond fails on painted surfaces.
The solvent in the adhesive may be attacking the paint. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
