Frequently Asked Questions About Adheseal Builders Nails
Q: Can I use Builders Nails on wet timber?
A: Yes, Builders Nails is formulated to bond to both wet and dry timber, providing a strong and reliable connection. Ensure surfaces are as clean as possible for optimal adhesion.
Q: What is the best way to clean up excess adhesive?
A: While the adhesive is still wet, use mineral turpentine to clean tools and spills. Once cured, mechanical removal (scraping) is necessary. Adheseal Hand Wipes are also useful for cleaning skin.
Q: Can Builders Nails be used for exterior applications in Australian climates?
A: Yes, Builders Nails has good weathering and water resistance, making it suitable for exterior applications. However, ensure the application temperature is within the recommended range (5°C to 35°C).
Q: Is priming required before using Builders Nails?
A: Generally, priming is not required due to the high bond strength. However, for critical high-performance applications, consider using Adheseal 50A on non-porous surfaces and Everflex Supaprime on porous surfaces.
Q: Can I paint over Builders Nails?
A: Yes, Builders Nails is paintable with acrylic, oil, and rubber-based paints. However, preliminary tests are recommended to ensure compatibility and desired finish.
Q: What are the limitations of using Builders Nails?
A: Do not use for permanent water immersion, on styrene foam, or as the sole bonding agent for structural applications. Avoid use in tightly clamped joints and on metals exposed to direct sunlight.

Application Guide
- **One-way Method:** Apply a 4-6mm bead using a cartridge gun. Immediately join the substrates and clamp, nail, or screw for at least 24 hours. Refer to flooring manufacturer's specifications for flooring applications.
- **Two-way Method:** Apply adhesive as in the one-way method. Firmly press surfaces together to transfer adhesive and then pull apart. Allow to tack off for 3-5 minutes. Reposition and press firmly, tapping with a hammer and padded block for maximum contact. Full bond strength is achieved in 12-72 hours.
