Contact Adhesives

Contact adhesives bond laminates, veneers and flexible materials.  Apply adhesive to both surfaces, allow it to tack off and then press together for a strong, instant bond.  Ideal for countertops and sheet goods.

What are contact adhesives best suited for?
Contact adhesives are designed for bonding large surface areas such as laminates, veneers, rubber, leather, and some plastics. They provide an instant, high-strength bond once the glued surfaces are pressed together.

How do I apply contact adhesive correctly?
Apply a thin, even coat to both surfaces, allow it to become tacky (usually a few minutes), then carefully press the parts together. Since the bond is immediate, precise alignment is important — repositioning is not possible afterward.

Can contact adhesives be used outdoors?
Some formulations are water- and heat-resistant, making them suitable for exterior use, but not all. Always check the manufacturer’s specifications and choose a product rated for the conditions (heat, moisture, UV exposure) of your project.
