1. Ensure surfaces are dry and free from oil, grease and dust. Wipe off any pooled water from wet timber.
2. Cut cartridge tip and pierce foil, attach nozzle and cut to size (5mm), then insert into caulking gun.
3. Apply bead along length of joist, stud or batten. On broad flat surfaces apply beads every 40cm.
4. Position pieces and press firmly together. Fix with sufficient nails, screws or clamping to hold load and achieve contact over total bond area. Repositionable for up to 20 minutes after fitting.
5. Allow adhesive to set (minimum 8 hours) before removing any temporary fasteners or clamping. Use with mechanical fasteners in high stress applications.

Contact Bond Method:

For immediate bond use contact bond method, apply to one surface only, press together and pull apart. Allow surfaces to dry 2-4 minutes, before firmly joining.

For Flooring:

When fixing sheet flooring (eg. particle board), use in conjunction with flooring manufacturer’s installation specifications for minimum nailing requirements.

Note: To eliminate squeaks in tongue and groove flooring, use Liquid Nails® Heavy Duty in conjunction with mechanical fixings.

Limitations:

• Avoid use in tightly clamped joints – eg. cabinet making or joinery.
• Not for use on mirrors. Use Liquid Nails® Mirror Aluminium.
• Not for metals heated by direct sunlight. Bonds weaken at higher temperatures.
• Not for Styrene foam. Use Liquid Nails® Fast Grab.
• Do not use as the sole bonding agent for structural bonding.
• Not for permanent water immersion.
• **Pre-test plastics to determine compatibility. Not for polyethylene, polypropylene or Teflon.

• *Usually mechanical fasteners are required for only 8 hours on porous surfaces and a strong bond is achieved in 24 hours and continues to strengthen over 2-3 days. Cures in 7 days. Expect longer times for thicker applications, less porous surfaces and in cold weather.
• Adheres to wet/poor seasoned timber.
• Bridges gaps up to 9mm.
• Paintable after 24 hours.

• Uncured product may be removed with mineral turpentine.
• Cured product can be removed by scraping or sanding.
