This superior adhesive bonds a wide range of materials in various conditions, including wet and dry, underwater, or during rain. It offers incredible initial grab, high bonding strength, and versatile applications, making it an essential for tradespeople. Sika Multi-Stick adheres to almost all materials, both porous and non-porous, such as glass, marble, granite, mirrors, bricks, stone, plasterboard, concrete, all metals, all hard plastics, ceramics, fiberglass, and timber, even underwater.
Benefits include primerless adhesion to common building substrates, suitability for internal and external use, fast curing, solvent-free formulation, near-odorless application, low dirt pick-up, excellent break-off and tooling, and resistance to water, weather, UV, and chemicals. It can withstand service temperatures from -50°C to +100°C and is suitable for use with glass, lead, polycarbonate, and acrylic sheets.
Ideal applications include use as a high-quality nail replacement adhesive (even to damp surfaces), bonding mirrors to most substrates, jointing cladding panels, bonding difficult materials like specialized polymer systems, metals, and fiberglass, and any application requiring high-performance, durable bonding. It is also suitable for areas needing resistance to chemical spillage.
Limitations: For overhead applications, always use in conjunction with mechanical fixings. For glass block fitting or large mirrors (over 0.5m² total area), use in conjunction with mechanical fixings. Provide temporary support for heavy items until the adhesive has dried. Some darkening or discolouration may occur in areas of high UV exposure, but this does not affect performance.

Troubleshooting
Adhesion failure on non-porous surfaces.
Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and degreased. Lightly abrade the surface for enhanced adhesion if necessary.
Slow curing time.
Curing time is affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation. If necessary, use in warmer conditions.
Difficulty in dispensing adhesive.
Ensure the cartridge is properly inserted into the applicator gun. Check for blockages in the nozzle and replace if necessary.
Poor initial grab.
Apply sufficient adhesive and press the surfaces firmly together. Provide temporary support if needed for heavier items.
Discoloration after application.
Some discoloration may occur with high UV exposure. This typically does not affect the adhesive's performance. Consider applying in shaded areas or protect with UV-resistant coatings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, and grease. Use a suitable cleaner if necessary.
Application: Apply Sika Multi-Stick to one surface, using a continuous bead or spot application, depending on the application and weight of the item being bonded.
Assembly: Immediately press the two surfaces together. For heavier items, provide temporary support until the adhesive cures.
Curing Time: Allow the adhesive to cure fully. This may vary depending on environmental conditions (temperature and humidity), but typically takes 24-48 hours.
Compatibility: Sika Multi-Stick is compatible with a wide range of materials. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially with unfamiliar materials, to ensure proper adhesion.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Uncured adhesive can be removed with a solvent cleaner.
