No More Nails Adhesives
No More Nails is a water-based adhesive that is solvent-free and provides an instant tack for shelves and other attachment projects. It's a great way to mount and construct wooden objects without the need for drilling. You don't need any special tools or equipment for this process either. Simply apply the adhesive to the surface of the object and attach it to the wall or any other surface. No ore Nails adhesives can be used on wood, brick, ceramic, plasterboard, MDF, hardboard, mirrors, plywood, stone, glass, concrete, plastics, PVC, metal, tile and even painted surfaces.
Try your hand at this pretty three-panel screen made using No More Nails adhesive. Painted in white or a light colour, it adds a touch of romance and chic to your bedroom and can be used to divide your rooms into two separate spaces or as a screen for extra privacy.
Epoxy glues
Epoxy glues are great for those tricky jobs where you need to be a bit more meticulous. These adhesives are ideal for indoor and outdoor use and can even be painted, sanded, and drilled after application. Epoxy Repair Solutions will bond and cure within minutes. You can use epoxies on a range of materials including:
- wood
- ceramics
- cardboard
- metals
- glass
- china
- fibreglass
- fabrics
- crystal
Epoxy glue is perfect when you need a robust bond that cures quickly and lasts a long time. An epoxy forms when you mix epoxy resin and a hardener together. They are usually stored in different sections of a double syringe and are only mixed when you are ready to bond your surfaces. They can be used for repairs, basic woodworking, and precise work on more detailed projects.
Contact Adhesives
Easy to use, fast curing and durable, contact adhesives make DIY projects a breeze. They are ideal for projects that require you to assemble lots of different materials. You can choose between a transparent version (ideal when the glue may be visible on a project), regular contact adhesive, and leather adhesive for craft projects and furniture repairs.
