Description  

Adheseal Builders Nails is a fast-grip, solvent-based construction adhesive for fixing skirting boards, architraves, wall mouldings, display signs and suitable flooring sheets. Its thick, non-slump synthetic-rubber formula stays where you apply it, making it useful on vertical surfaces and awkward building details.

Builders Nails can be applied as a conventional one-way wet bond or with a two-way contact-bond method, depending on the component and installation. This gives installers practical flexibility when positioning timber trims, boards and compatible building materials.

Common jobs for Builders Nails

  • Skirting and architraves: bonding timber trim and mouldings to sound prepared backgrounds.
  • Wall panels and signs: positioning compatible sheet materials and display-sign components.
  • Floor sheeting: assisting with attachment of suitable particleboard or fibre-cement flooring to timber or steel joists, alongside the prescribed mechanical fixings.
  • General renovation: bonding compatible timber, plasterboard and masonry components where a bead-applied adhesive is practical.

Choosing and applying the adhesive

For one-way bonding, apply beads to prepared surfaces, bring the pieces together and support as required while the adhesive develops strength. In a two-way application, briefly bring coated surfaces together, separate to allow solvent flash-off and reconnect firmly. Surfaces should be clean and compatible; the specified application temperature is 5°C to 35°C.

Builders Nails is not a substitute for required structural fixings, and heavy panels may still need support. Do not use it on polystyrene foam, hot sun-exposed metal, immersed joints or tightly clamped fine joinery. For water-based subfloor and wallboard bonding, compare Multi-Grip; for close-fitting woodworking bonds, choose Unobond.

Common Questions  

What is Builders Nails Adhesive used for?
It is a construction adhesive for mouldings, skirting, flooring panels and other timber, masonry, metal and sheet-material bonding.

Can it be used as a contact adhesive?
Yes. Use the two-way method by transferring adhesive to both surfaces, waiting 3 to 5 minutes, then rejoining them.

Can it be used in swimming pools?
No. It is not for permanent water immersion.

What temperature can I apply it at?
Apply between 10°C and 30°C.

Uses & Benefits  
Solvent-based synthetic rubber construction adhesive for wall mouldings, architraves, skirting, flooring panels and other building work. Non-slump consistency helps hold vertical components during installation. Can be used as a one-way adhesive or a two-way contact adhesive. Bonds timber, masonry, metals, tiles, glass and compatible plastics. Full cure is typically 5 to 7 days.
How To Apply  
Use on clean, dry, sound substrates. Concrete must cure for at least 28 days. For demanding non-porous metal and plastic bonds, lightly abrade and use Adheseal 50A. For porous masonry use Everflex Supaprime. Allow 30 minutes to 2 hours after priming. For one-way bonding, apply a 4mm to 6mm bead, join the surfaces immediately and secure with clamps, nails or screws for at least 24 hours. For two-way bonding, press the surfaces together to transfer adhesive, separate them, wait 3 to 5 minutes, then rejoin and press firmly. Support heavy panels during initial cure.
Limitations and Safety Info  
Do not use on metal surfaces heated by direct sunlight or where continued elevated temperatures occur. Do not use on styrene foam. Do not use as the sole adhesive for structural glazing or structural bonding. Do not use in tightly clamped cabinet-making joints. Do not use for permanent water immersion, fish tanks or swimming pools. Test mirrors, composite panels and natural stone before use. Do not use on lead or copper. Apply only between 10°C and 30°C. The uncured product is flammable. Keep it away from flames, sparks and ignition sources.
Suitable Substrates  
  • Timber, MDF, particleboard, weatherboards and Scyon flooring.
  • Concrete, brick, aerated concrete and mortar.
  • Aluminium, galvanised steel and powder-coated metal, excluding lead and copper.
  • Porcelain, ceramic tile, glass and glazed surfaces.
  • Fibreglass, polycarbonate, rubber and compatible polyester or acrylic resins.
