Foaming glue

[lurker]

I was talking to a mate yesterday and he was raving about a gun applied glue he uses.
I tend to be a bit conservative and ignore new developments

I think this is the stuff

Opinions?

Everbuild imo make very good products - this is great stuff, as is their epoxy and D4 PVA. I used it last where I had thresholds to fix down to next to nothing with the floors on opposing sides running in opposite directions. I rebated the undersides as accurately as I could put this stuff on the insides of the rebates, got a paper and a cup of tea and stood on the threshold for 6 - 7 mins. Job done. It's not knew - I first used it a few years ago. Iirc there's a 30min one as well. Just be aware it will blow things apart.

I regularly use the Everbuild standard PU glue. ( I generally go for the 30 min version )

It comes in 750g containers for around £10 from Toolstation.

If you plan to buy some and get the most of it - under no circumstances use the bottle it came in to dispense it.It will very quickly fill with masses of scabby cured PU, and you will lose a lot of the contents.

Buy a large 500 ml or so 'top down' everyday value bottle of brown sauce from Tesco (they cost 30p) . It must be the plastic PP or HDPE bottles - stay away from the clear shiny PET bottles (they can be used for PVA though)

Make sure the top does not have one of those rubber inserts in - they will clog very quickly. Take off the top first - do not contaminate it. Remove the seal on the bottle and empty the sauce down the toilet. Fill the bottle half full with water and with your hand on the top, shake it then pour it down the sink. Repeat with soapy water until any greasy residue is gone and then rinse inside with clean water. Shake it out and force dry it with a hair dryer, then leave it overnight to make sure it is dry.

Get a polythene freezer bag ready ( do not use cling film ). Outdoors wearing gloves and the sauce bottle between two bricks, unscrew the top of the PU glue and decant into the sauce bottle until it is full. Screw the lid on the sauce bottle and store top down.Wipe and excess drips from the original container and screw the polythene freezer bag between the lid and the container, also store this top down.

The glue in the sauce bottle will easy last 6 months to a year, and the same applies to the original container provided they are both stored top down ( I balance the original container in an old mug ).

Having a boat, I use Wudcare Fastgrab quite a lot. Seawater proof and stands high sun temperatures OK. Very fast curing so cramps can be removed in 30 mins or so but don't get on hands, it stains for days. http://www.wudcare.co.uk/tech/Fast-Grab.pdf

Something about the first photo made me think "dead by dawn, dead by dawn".

This is a VERY specific comment btw.

Oh. And chainsaws.

Anyway I too use this glue. Seems very good but I find it tricky to know just how much on a joint is enough and end up with excess foamed glue to clean up. It can be a pita. Also this stuff is sticky sticky and difficult to clean up if it goes where you did not intend.

Bingo.

Also, carpet fitters use it to stick gripper rods down to old tanked floors.

Of course you can always put a bit of tape or a smear of wax down first to help the clean up. I came across this -

at £1.50 a litre on a car boot and wished I'd had more - I haven't been too careful with it and I'm down to about an inch and it's still good after about 18 months. It's way outlasted any other PU I've tried.

As they say in the product page "The Glue that started it all" : http://uk.gorillaglue.com/gorilla-glue I find it most useful for veneer's, lots of flat weights needed though.
