It is specifically designed for adhering most common building surfaces to each other and themselves. Benefits include incredible initial grab, no slip and gap filling properties, high bonding strength, interior and exterior use, and can be applied to wet surfaces. It is totally waterproof, weatherproof, and quick curing. Can be overpainted if required, is solvent-free, and resistant to temperature extremes from -40°C to +150°C. It is also resistant to chemicals like petrol (10% dilute acids/alkalis, most solvents). Offers excellent primer-less adhesion to most surfaces, including metals, most plastics, glass, concrete, plaster, plasterboard, polyester, Perspex, glass, wood, enamel, and painted surfaces. Areas for Use: Sealing and bonding in almost every application imaginable, such as a high-quality nail replacement adhesive (even to damp surfaces), perimeter pointing around doors and windows (especially in mobile structures like caravans and boats), bonding mirrors to most common substrates, automotive gap filling and sealing, and jointing cladding panels. Also suitable for bonding difficult materials like specialised polymer systems, metals, and fibreglass, and any application requiring high-performance, durable sealing and bonding of joints. Can be used in applications where resistance to chemical spillage is required (e.g., garage forecourts). Limitations: For overhead applications, always use in conjunction with mechanical fixings. For glass block fitting or large mirrors (>0.5m² total area), use in conjunction with mechanical fixings. For heavy items, provide temporary support until the adhesive has dried. Do not seal mirror edges/plastic sheeting until the adhesive has cured. In areas of high UV, some darkening/discolouration may occur, but this does not affect the performance of the sealant. Overpaintability: check compatibility.

FAQs
Can Stixall be used outdoors?
Yes, Everbuild Stixall is formulated for both interior and exterior applications. It is fully waterproof and weatherproof, making it highly suitable for various outdoor projects.
Does Stixall work on wet surfaces?
Yes, one of the key advantages of Stixall is its ability to be effectively applied to wet surfaces, offering versatility in different working conditions.
Is it possible to paint over Stixall?
Yes, Stixall can be overpainted once it has fully cured. However, it is always recommended to test compatibility by applying paint to a small, inconspicuous area first.
What types of materials will Stixall bond to?
Stixall provides excellent primer-less adhesion to a broad range of common building surfaces, including metals, plastics, glass, concrete, plaster, wood, and painted surfaces.
What is the temperature resistance of Stixall?
Everbuild Stixall is highly resistant to temperature extremes, maintaining its performance in conditions ranging from -40°C to +150°C.
Do I need to use mechanical fixings with Stixall for heavy items?
For heavy items, temporary support is crucial until the adhesive dries. For overhead applications, Stixall should always be used in conjunction with mechanical fixings to ensure safety and long-term security.
Will UV light affect Stixall?
In areas of high UV exposure, some darkening or discolouration of the sealant may occur over time. This is a cosmetic effect and does not impact the product's performance or bonding strength.
Troubleshooting
Bonded item is not holding or falls off.
Ensure adequate adhesive was applied and, for heavy items, provide temporary support until fully cured (typically 24-48 hours depending on conditions). For overhead applications, mechanical fixings are essential.
Adhesive is not curing properly or remains tacky.
Verify that there is sufficient ventilation and that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range. Extremely cold or overly humid conditions can significantly slow the curing process. Check the product's expiry date.
Discolouration or yellowing of the sealant/adhesive after application.
In high UV exposure areas, slight darkening or discolouration may occur. This is a cosmetic characteristic and does not impact the product's performance or bonding capabilities. Consider this factor for aesthetically critical applications.
Paint is not adhering well to the cured Stixall or is cracking.
Always perform a compatibility test with your chosen paint on a small, inconspicuous area before painting the entire application. Ensure the Stixall is fully cured before attempting to paint.
Poor adhesion to a specific surface.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry (though it works on wet, dry is better), and free from dust, grease, or loose particles. While Stixall offers primer-less adhesion to most, some very challenging substrates might benefit from a specific primer. Refer to the product datasheet for further guidance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High initial grab and strong bonding power
Can be applied effectively to wet surfaces
Excellent resistance to weather and chemical exposure
Achieves primer-less adhesion on most building materials
Compatible with painting once fully cured
Formulated without solvents for reduced hazards
Cons
Requires mechanical fixings for heavy overhead applications
Temporary support is necessary for heavy items until the adhesive fully dries
May exhibit slight discolouration in areas of high UV exposure, though performance is unaffected
Compatibility testing is advised before overpainting to ensure optimal results
Setup & Application:
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean and free from loose debris. While Stixall performs on wet surfaces, dry conditions generally yield the best bond.
Application: Cut the nozzle to the desired bead size. Apply the sealant/adhesive using a standard mastic gun in continuous beads for sealing or in dots for bonding.
Bonding Heavy Items: When bonding heavy objects, apply sufficient adhesive and provide temporary support, such as clamps or props, until the adhesive is fully cured.
Overhead Applications: For overhead bonding, always supplement the adhesive with mechanical fixings to ensure long-term stability and safety.
Curing: Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure completely before placing stress on bonded items. Curing time can vary with temperature and humidity.
Compatibility:
Substrates: Offers excellent primer-less adhesion to most common building materials, including metals, plastics, glass, concrete, plaster, wood, and painted surfaces.
Overpainting: Stixall can be overpainted. Always conduct a compatibility test on a small, inconspicuous area with your chosen paint before full application.
Specific Applications: Avoid sealing the edges of mirrors or plastic sheeting until the adhesive has fully cured to prevent potential issues.
Care & Maintenance:
Cleaning: Remove excess uncured Stixall immediately with a suitable cleaner or solvent. Once cured, the material may require mechanical removal by cutting or scraping.
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its shelf life and effectiveness.
UV Exposure: In areas subjected to high UV radiation, the sealant may exhibit slight darkening or discolouration over time. This is a cosmetic change and does not compromise the product's performance or bonding strength.
