A premium grade, solvent-based, yellow/beige coloured, single component solvent-based contact adhe...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 gluelines 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 helps users effectively utilize Bond It Contact Adhesive. Ideal for bonding various materials like wood, metal, and plastics, it provides a strong, durable bond. Note that it's not suitable for all materials, such as polystyrene and certain plastics. This guide will cover features, uses, and troubleshooting to help you achieve the best results.

FAQs
What is the coverage of Bond It Contact Adhesive?
Coverage depends on the surface texture and application method. A thin, even coating will provide the best results and maximize coverage.
Can I use this adhesive on painted surfaces?
The solvent in the contact adhesive may attack certain painted or lacquered surfaces. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
How long is the open time?
The open time is approximately 5-30 minutes, depending on the environmental conditions. Bonding should occur within this timeframe for the best results.
What should I do if the open time is exceeded?
If the open time is exceeded, re-apply the adhesive to both surfaces and allow it to dry again before bonding.
How do I clean up the adhesive?
Clean tools and spills immediately with a suitable solvent.
Is this adhesive suitable for outdoor use?
It can be used externally when the adhesive is protected from direct sunlight and water.
What safety precautions should I take?
Ensure adequate ventilation during application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Refer to the product's safety data sheet for detailed information.
Troubleshooting
Bond not holding
Ensure both surfaces were clean and properly prepared. Check if the adhesive was allowed to dry to a touch-dry state before bonding. Re-apply if necessary.
Adhesive appears grey or has a bloom
This indicates condensation. Delay bonding until the glue is moisture-free. Ensure the work environment is not too damp.
Adhesive is too thick
Ensure the adhesive has been stirred correctly. If the product is old, it may have thickened and should be discarded.
