Evo-Stik Spray Adhesive 500ml | Foam, Fabric & Carpet Bonding

Description

Evo-Stik General Purpose Spray Adhesive (500ml)

A fast-drying, solvent-based pressure sensitive aerosol adhesive designed for quick, convenient bonding of lightweight materials.

Evo-Stik General Purpose Spray Adhesive delivers excellent initial grab with rapid drying, making it ideal for workshop, construction, display, and general fabrication tasks. Supplied in an easy-to-use aerosol with an adjustable spray nozzle, it provides controlled application and even coverage across large areas.

🛠 How to Use

1. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust or grease.

2. Shake can thoroughly before use.

3. Adjust spray nozzle as required.

4. Spray from approximately 150–200mm away.

• For maximum strength on non-porous surfaces: apply to both surfaces, allow to dry (1–3 minutes), then press together firmly.

• For porous surfaces: apply one wet coat to allow some repositioning.

• Very porous surfaces may require two coats, allowing drying between applications.

Excess adhesive can be removed with white spirit.

Use only in well-ventilated areas.

Spray Adhesive vs Contact Adhesive

Spray adhesives are often preferred where:

• fast coverage is needed
• large surface areas are involved
• lightweight materials are being bonded
• flexible application matters

Traditional contact adhesives may offer higher final strength for demanding structural applications.

Spray Adhesive vs Double-Sided Tape

General purpose spray adhesive provides more even coverage across large areas and is often better suited to fabric, foam and display applications where tape may leave ridges or fail around edges.
