About this product
The EVOSTIK Impact Adhesive 250ml is a high-strength, multipurpose contact adhesive ideal for tackling a wide range of DIY tasks and emergency repairs around the home. This powerful glue bonds instantly on contact, providing a robust solution for joining various materials where a traditional adhesive might struggle. It’s formulated to be effective on surfaces such as wood, MDF, laminate, metal, PVC, cork, leather, rubber, glass, mirror, stone, and ceramics – covering many common household repair needs.
This tin contains 250ml of translucent amber liquid adhesive within a robust can. The product is designed for use by anyone undertaking DIY projects or needing to quickly mend items around the house. It’s particularly useful where a strong, immediate bond is required, such as when repairing laminates, rubber, or other materials prone to movement.
Important: When using this adhesive, it's crucial to work outdoors and wear a respirator mask due to the strong solvent odour produced during application. The full cure time for the adhesive is 24 hours, so allow sufficient time for a solid, durable bond to develop. It offers water resistance but is best suited for interior repairs.
The EVOSTIK Impact Adhesive is packaged with one 250ml tin and includes the EVO-STIK Impact Adhesive Tin 348103. This product is supplied by Bostik and is suitable for smaller household repair jobs due to its affordable tin size.
