Strong Bonds for Your Toughest Projects
We stock trusted brands like Selleys, PC Epoxy, and Rust-Oleum, offering solvent-based and water-based formulas in liquid and spray formats. Solvent-based adhesives deliver superior strength and heat resistance, making them perfect for kitchen benchtops and high-traffic areas. Water-based options provide lower odour and easier cleanup while still delivering reliable bonding performance for most household applications.
Our range includes products sized from small tubes for minor repairs to larger tins for extensive renovation work. Spray adhesives offer precise application and are particularly useful for covering large surface areas like laminate sheets or upholstery projects. Many of our contact adhesives bond difficult materials, including plastics, metal, wood, foam, fabric, and high-pressure laminates to various substrates.
When selecting a contact adhesive, consider your project requirements. Check the open time (how long the adhesive remains workable), coverage rate, and whether you need heat resistance or waterproof properties. Most contact adhesives require good ventilation during application, so ensure your workspace is adequately ventilated.
Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces can contact adhesive bond?
Contact adhesives work on laminates, wood veneers, particle board, plywood, foam, fabric, leather, metal, and many plastics. They’re particularly effective for bonding large surface areas where traditional clamping isn’t practical.
How do I apply contact adhesive correctly?
Apply a thin, even coat to both surfaces, wait until tacky to touch (usually 10-20 minutes), then carefully align and press surfaces firmly together. The bond is immediate, so positioning must be accurate before contact.
What’s the difference between spray and liquid contact adhesive?
Spray adhesives offer easier application over large areas and provide even coverage, while liquid adhesives in tins or tubes allow greater control for smaller projects and edge work.
