Uses
The Stick Like Sh*t by EVO-STIK is forged to deliver outstanding grab and adhesive performance whilst still resisting various weather conditions and temperatures. It is a single-component SM Polymer formulated adhesive that offers superior bonding strength, bonding to impervious surfaces. It has excellent water-resisting properties alongside weatherproofing, making it ideal for internal and external applications. It's resistant to extreme temperatures, from as low as -40°C all the way up to +100°C. The versatility of this product is unmatched, with some surfaces compatible for adhering to, including;
- Wood
- Metal
- Glass
- Stone
- Plastics
- Polystyrene
- Concrete
- Tiles
- Mirrors
- Plasterboard
Preparation
Before commencing the application, prepare all surfaces to be bonded to ensure optimal results are achieved. Start by cleaning all surfaces and removing contaminants that can hinder the adhesion, including dirt, dust, grease, oil, loose material, etc. You can apply this to damp surfaces, but care for flaking debris that may be hard to notice.
Application
- Cut the top of the cartridge, taking care not to damage the threaded screw
- Cut the nozzle at 45° to the desired width and screw it onto the cartridge
- Place the product into a suitable adhesive applicator tool
- Apply parallel beads of adhesive to one of the surfaces and bring them together within 10 minutes of application
- Beads at 5mm are sufficient; for tighter fittings, the bead may be reduced to 3mm
- If the distance between the beads is by at least 200mm, you should apply a perimeter bead for added strength
Limitations and Notes
- Do not apply this product to surfaces contaminated by bitumen
- Uncured product can be used with a cloth dampened in white spirit
- This product will not bond to Polyethylene, Polypropylene or Tefon
- This product is excellent water-resistant but cannot be immersed in water
- If the mirror is backed with a safety film, do not use this product
- If bonding a mirror, ensure it's not a painted surface, as it affects the adhesive strength.
