How to use
Preparation
Surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry, and free from contamination such as dust, grease, or paint.
Application
1. Apply a thin, even coat of Timebond Adhesive to both surfaces.
2. Allow the contact adhesive to become dry to touch. This should take 5 to 10 minutes depending upon the drying conditions.
3. Align the surfaces carefully. When in place press together gently.
4. Exert firm pressure from the centre outwards to exclude any air pockets.
5. The bond is instant; however, the adhesive will achieve full strength over 24 hours.
Where at least one material is porous, apply a thin coat of adhesive to the least porous surface and press the surfaces together immediately. Hold together for a few minutes to allow the bond to form. Do not disturb or test the bond for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to achieve full strength.
Cleaning
We recommend cleaning tools and equipment immediately after use with EVO-STIK Adhesive Cleaner before the adhesive dries.
How to remove
Uncured adhesive can be removed with a cloth dampened with EVO-STIK Adhesive Cleaner.
Cured adhesive may only be removed by mechanical means.

Contact adhesive vs super glue: which is best?
Contact adhesive and super glue are both suitable for a variety of materials, but they have different properties and applications.
- Application: Contact adhesives are applied to both surfaces and left until touch dry before bonding. Super glues are typically applied to one surface and then held together for approximately 15 to 30 seconds using firm pressure.
- Uses: Contact adhesives are generally used for large surface areas, such as laminates, countertops and upholstery. Super glues are better suited to small, precise repairs, such as bonding ceramics, plastics and glass.
- Properties: Some contact adhesives allow limited repositioning during application, whereas super glues form a fast bond within seconds.
The best choice depends on the materials being bonded and the requirements of your project.
