The AEG 18V Cordless Caulking Gun takes the hand strain out of applying adhesives, sealants and fillers, and it handles both 300ml cartridges and 600ml sausage packs. It is sold as a skin only, so it suits tradies and keen DIYers who already own AEG 18V batteries and want steady, consistent beads without squeezing a manual trigger all day.About the productThe gun uses constant flow technology to help lay an even bead and a neat finish. It generates plenty of push force (3800N according to AEG) to move thick compounds through the nozzle. An anti-drip function retracts the plunger when you release the trigger, which cuts down on oozing and wasted material. The ergonomic body is designed to reduce fatigue during repetitive, continuous work.Where to use itIndoors: sealing around baths, vanities and kitchen benchtops, running adhesive along panelling and skirting, and filling joints and gaps.Outdoors: sealing around windows, doors, cladding and roof penetrations, and other exterior jobs that need a long, steady bead.How to use it Variable speed trigger with seven speed settings, giving flow rates from a slow 0 to 7.6 cm/min up to a fast 45.7 to 63.5 cm/min. Rotatable collar system for quick changes between 300ml cartridges and 600ml sausage packs. For sausage packs, fit the 600ml cartridge, rack and plunger. Belt clip for convenient on-person storage when working on a ladder or moving between tasks. Works with any AEG 18V battery (battery and charger sold separately). Important notesThis is a skin only, so the battery and charger are not included. AEG does not recommend using 600ml polyurethane sealant sausage packs with this gun, so use 300ml polyurethane cartridges instead. Always follow the compound manufacturer's directions for application and cure.Specifications Brand AEG Product 18V 300ml/600ml Caulking Gun (Skin Only) Model number A18CG0 Voltage 18V (AEG 18V battery, sold separately) Push force 3800N Speed settings 7, plus variable speed trigger Flow rate 0 to 63.5 cm/min across the seven settings Compatible packs 300ml cartridges and 600ml sausage packs Tool weight 1.7kg Use Adhesives, sealants and fillers Care and storageRemove the battery before changing cartridges or cleaning the tool, and wipe away leftover compound before it cures.

The Makita DCG180ZB is a cordless 18V caulking gun built for 600ml sealant jobs, supplied here as a skin only (tool only) so it can run off the Makita 18V batteries you already own. It takes the effort out of long sealant runs and gives you steady, controllable flow for a tidy finish, whether you are working with silicone, sealant or adhesive.About the productThis is a compact, lightweight cordless applicator with a motor-driven plunger that pushes sealant at a speed you choose. A dial sets the top speed and the variable speed trigger lets you fine-tune the flow as you work. An anti-drip function relieves pressure in the holder when you release the trigger, so excess sealant is less likely to ooze from the nozzle. The sealant holder rotates through 360 degrees, which helps you line the nozzle up with the joint without twisting your wrist. It handles standard cartridges, sausage packs and bulk sealant.Where to use itIndoors: kitchen and bathroom joints, tiling and fixture sealing, internal gaps and trims before painting.Outdoors: roofing and flashing details, window and door perimeters, cladding joints and general building sealing, anywhere you need a consistent bead without hand fatigue.How to use it Fit a charged Makita 18V battery (sold separately). Load a cartridge, sausage pack or bulk sealant using the matching piston and holder parts supplied with the tool. Set your maximum pushing speed on the dial, then use the trigger to vary the flow as you go. Rotate the holder to suit the angle of the joint, and release the trigger to stop the flow with the anti-drip function. Important notesBattery and charger are not included. Specifications vary slightly between supplier listings for the exact cartridge and holder sizes, so check that your sealant packaging fits the holder before starting a big job. Keep the plunger and holder clean between jobs so cured sealant does not build up.Specifications Brand Makita Product 18V 600ml Cordless Caulking Gun Model DCG180ZB Supplied as Skin only (no battery or charger) Voltage 18V Compatible sealant formats Cartridge, sausage pack, bulk sealant Max. pushing force 5,000N No load pushing speed 0 to 28mm per second Overall length 538mm Weight (skin only) 2.1kg Weight (with BL1860B battery) 2.7kg Use Interior and exterior sealing work Care and storageRemove the battery before loading, changing or cleaning the holder and plunger.

Selleys Liquid Nails Timberflex is a flexible, trowel-grade timber flooring adhesive for fixing solid, engineered strip and sheet timber floors to concrete and timber subfloors, supplied here as a single 600ml sausage pack. It is a good fit for smaller flooring jobs, patch work and trial areas where a full pail is more than you need.About the formulaTimberflex uses a silyl modified polymer (MS polymer) technology, which Selleys describes as isocyanate free and solvent free. It stays flexible once cured so the floor can move naturally. It forms clean, stable ridges under the trowel and gives good wet grab and initial hold. It spreads easily across a wide application range of 5°C to 40°C and is a low VOC product that meets Green Building Council requirements.Where to use itIndoors: engineered overlay flooring (prefinished and bamboo) and most types of solid timber, strip and sheet flooring, bonded to common subfloors such as plywood, particleboard, existing strip flooring, fibre cement sheet and concrete, including over acoustic matting.Outdoors: not recommended. This is an interior flooring adhesive and is not intended for wet areas.Suitable materials include plywood, particleboard, existing timber flooring, fibre cement sheet and steel-trowelled concrete.How to use itSurfaces must be clean, sound and level to within 3mm over 3m, because out-of-level floors increase the risk of hollow spots under strip timber. Grind concrete to remove high spots, contaminants and weak surface layers, and sand timber subfloors to remove old glue and other contaminants. Concrete should have a steel-trowel type finish. Over concrete, Selleys recommends a vapour barrier such as Liquid Nails VBS before laying to prevent moisture migration and swelling of the timber. Slab moisture content should be below 5.5% and moisture vapour transmission below 15g/m² per 24 hours. Apply the adhesive to the subfloor and spread it with a suitable Selleys Direct Stick trowel, then lay the boards into the wet adhesive. Wipe uncured adhesive from tools, hands and prefinished boards with a damp cloth before it cures.Important notesAlways follow Australian Standards, NCC requirements and best practice for timber floor installation. Allow about 24 hours for the adhesive to cure. The working time is about 45 minutes at 25°C and 50% relative humidity. Do not apply to dusty, greasy or damp surfaces. Cured adhesive is much harder to remove than wet adhesive, so clean up promptly.Specifications Brand Selleys Product Liquid Nails Timberflex Timber Flooring Adhesive Pack 1 x 600ml sausage Colour Oak Base Silyl modified polymer (MS polymer) Application Trowel applied Application temperature 5°C to 40°C Working time About 45 minutes (25°C, 50% RH) Cure time 24 hours VOC 32g/L Clean up Damp cloth before curing Use Interior timber flooring SafetyAvoid contact with eyes and prolonged or repeated skin contact, and wear gloves when working.

Selleys Liquid Nails Original in the 680g sausage pack is a multipurpose construction adhesive for builders and DIYers who get through a lot of adhesive, with more product per pack than a standard cartridge and fewer changeovers on big jobs. It gives a strong, lasting bond on most common building materials and stays flexible enough to cope with the shrinkage and thermal movement that can weaken rigid bonds over time.About the formulaA solvent-based adhesive that holds its shape without dripping, sagging or stringing, so application is tidy. It bonds well to both wet and dry timber, so there is no need to wait for timber to dry out, and it extrudes easily in cooler weather. It also bridges gaps on rough or ill-fitting building materials, resists water and weather once cured, and can be painted over for a neat finish. It meets Australian Standard AS 2329.Where to use itIndoors: sheet flooring to joists, wallboard or panelling to timber or metal frames, cork tiles to timber, fibro or plaster, metal or aluminium door strips to floors or walls, and squeaky tongue and groove boards.Outdoors: timber or fibre cement sheeting to brick or cement block walls, and masonite to timber.Suitable materials include timber, plasterboard, MDF, particleboard, fibre cement sheeting, brick, masonry, concrete, render, tiles and ceramics, metals, rubber and glass. Test plastics for compatibility before committing to a full job.How to use itMake sure surfaces are free of oil, grease and dust, and wipe off any pooled water from wet timber. Fit the sausage pack into a suitable sausage-style applicator gun and run a bead along the joist, stud or batten. On broad, flat surfaces, apply beads about 40cm apart. Press the pieces firmly together and fix with enough nails, screws or clamping to hold the load and keep full contact across the bond area. You can reposition the work for up to about 20 minutes after fitting. Leave the adhesive to set for at least 24 hours before removing any temporary fasteners or clamps. Clean uncured adhesive with mineral turpentine; cured adhesive needs to be scraped or sanded off.Important notesA strong bond is usually reached within 24 hours and keeps building over the next few days, with full cure in about 7 days. Allow longer for thick applications, less porous surfaces and cold weather. Not suitable for styrene foam, for permanent water immersion, or as the only bonding method in structural applications.Specifications Brand Selleys Product Liquid Nails Original Construction Adhesive Pack 1 x 680g sausage Colour Brown Base Solvent-based Application Sausage pack, via sausage-style applicator gun Repositionable Up to about 20 minutes Initial set About 24 hours Full cure About 7 days Standard AS 2329 Use Interior and exterior SafetyUse with normal care: work in a well-ventilated area, keep away from heat and open flame, avoid contact with eyes and skin, and wear gloves and safety glasses.

Sika SikaBond T-55(J) is a one-component, elastic polyurethane adhesive for fully bonding solid and engineered timber floors, supplied here as a single 600ml foil pack for smaller flooring jobs and repairs. It spreads easily, stays flexible once cured and helps take the stress out of the bond between the timber and the substrate, which suits floors that need to move a little with the seasons.About the formulaA moisture-curing polyurethane that cures by reacting with humidity in the air, so it needs reasonable ambient moisture to set properly. The cured adhesive is elastic and dampens footfall sound. It is sandable along with the floor, and Sika rates it as low in VOCs. It is approved for use over underfloor heating and can be applied directly onto old ceramic tiles, which can save you from ripping up an existing tiled floor first (do a preliminary adhesion test on glazed tiles).Where to use itIndoors: full-surface bonding of solid timber and engineered timber floors, parquetry and strip panels, mosaic and industrial parquet, and chipboard, over concrete, cement-based screeds, timber subfloors and old ceramic tiles. It can also be used as an underlay layer before timber flooring is laid.Outdoors: not intended for outdoor use, and it is not rated as UV or weather resistant.Suitable substrates include concrete, cement-based floors, chipboard, timber subfloors and ceramic tiles. Sika notes that ground-floor slabs and areas without a damp-proof membrane need moisture protection first (see important notes below).How to use itMake sure the substrate is clean, dry, sound and free of dust, contamination and old coatings or adhesives. Check the substrate moisture content before you start and prime or seal where required. Load the foil pack into a suitable application gun, snip the end and cut the nozzle tip to suit, then lay the adhesive over the floor and spread it evenly with a notched trowel. Sika's current data sheet lists coverage of roughly 600 to 1000 g per square metre depending on the trowel notch and the flooring type. Use a larger notch for long or wide boards and uneven substrates so you get a continuous bed with no hollow spots. Press the timber firmly into the adhesive while it is still wet and keep a 10 to 15mm expansion gap to the walls. Clean tools while the adhesive is uncured, using Sika Remover-208 or Sika Colma Cleaner. Cured adhesive can only be removed mechanically.Important notesSika's data sheet states this product is only suitable for use by professional wood floor applicators. Apply and lay within roughly 15 to 35 degrees ambient and substrate temperature (20 to 35 degrees with underfloor heating), with relative humidity of about 40 to 70 percent. Keep the adhesive at or above 15 degrees for good workability. The floor can be walked on after about 12 hours and sanded after about 24 hours, depending on conditions and adhesive thickness. Do not expose uncured adhesive to alcohol-containing products, as they interfere with curing. Where a ground-floor slab or other area has no damp-proof membrane, follow Sika's moisture-barrier recommendations (Sika Primer MB or MR Fast, or Sikafloor EpoCem) before laying timber. Follow the flooring manufacturer's own installation guidelines as well.Specifications Brand Sika Product SikaBond T-55(J) Elastic Wood Flooring Adhesive Pack 1 x 600ml foil pack Colour Ochre Base 1-component polyurethane, moisture curing Application Foil pack via application gun, spread with a notched trowel Skin / laying time About 60 minutes at 23 degrees and 50% RH Cure rate About 3mm per 24 hours at 23 degrees and 50% RH Walk on / sand After about 12 hours / 24 hours Coverage About 600 to 1000 g per m2, depending on trowel and flooring type Density About 1.35 kg/l Shore A hardness About 38 after 28 days Shelf life 12 months from production, unopened and stored correctly Storage Dry, out of direct sunlight, 5 to 25 degrees Use Interior only SafetyIt contains small amounts (under 1 percent) of isocyanates, so avoid skin contact and breathing vapour, and keep the product away from heat, sparks and open flames.

Bostik Ultraset SF Pro is a ready-to-use, solvent-free polyurethane adhesive for fixing timber flooring, supplied here as a single 600ml sausage pack. It is an elastomeric, one-part formula made for fitting parquet, solid strip, engineered, bamboo and sheet timber flooring to flat concrete or timber subfloors, or over an existing floor.About the formulaA one-part, moisture-curing polyurethane with no solvent and a zero VOC rating. There is no mixing, and it spreads easily. It stays flexible after full cure, so the bond can move with the timber, and it is suitable over radiant heating. Bostik also lists good acoustic properties, and the product is made in Australia. The technical data sheet notes testing to ASTM C794 for peel adhesion on a range of Australian hardwoods. It also notes that the product meets EN 14293:2006 for adhesives bonding parquet to a subfloor. Bostik quotes a Shore A hardness of about 52 and a timber-to-timber shear strength of 1.4 N/mm2 (2mm bond line, BS EN 14293).Where to use itIndoors: direct-stick installation of timber floors over flat concrete or timber subfloors, or over existing floors, in residential and commercial settings. It can also fix recommended acoustic underlays as an intermediate layer between the subfloor and the flooring.Outdoors: not intended for exterior use.Suitable flooring types include parquet, solid strip, engineered, bamboo and sheet timber systems.How to use itSurfaces must be clean, dry, sound and free of voids, curing compounds, loose material, oil and grease. The subfloor should be flat to within 3mm over a 3m straightedge. If it is out of tolerance, prime and level it first using Bostik's recommended primer and levelling compound, and follow their data sheets. Spread the adhesive evenly so the film is not patchy and has no pinholes. The data sheet calls for a wet film thickness above 300 microns. Lay the flooring in line with the timber manufacturer's installation instructions. Where a vapour barrier is needed over a new or green slab, Bostik's Ultraseal Vapour Barrier is the recommended option.Important notesThe adhesive needs atmospheric moisture to cure. In low humidity (below 40%), check with Bostik technical services before you start. Do not use it as a waterproofing membrane. Do not install it over wet, contaminated or friable surfaces, and keep it away from water exposure. Allow timber to acclimatise and leave expansion gaps as the timber manufacturer or installation standard requires. Dense, burnished concrete may need abrading first. Cure and walk-on times depend on temperature, humidity and film thickness, so check the current data sheet for your job. A sausage gun is needed to dispense the 600ml foil pack, and it is not included.Specifications Brand Bostik Product Ultraset SF Pro Solvent Free Polyurethane Timber Flooring Adhesive Pack 1 x 600ml sausage Base One-part, solvent-free, moisture-curing polyurethane (elastomeric) VOC Zero VOC Application Sausage gun, spread with a notched trowel Shore A hardness Approx. 52 Shear strength (timber to timber, 2mm) 1.4 N/mm2 (BS EN 14293) Standards Tested to ASTM C794; meets EN 14293:2006 Use Interior timber flooring, including over radiant heating Origin Made in Australia SafetyBostik describes it as solvent-free and non-flammable.

Selleys Flexiseal FC is a fast-curing polyurethane sealant and adhesive in white, supplied here as a 600ml sausage for sealing and bonding jobs around the building site or the house. It does two jobs in one product: it seals joints between common building materials and bonds them, and it stays flexible enough to cope with the movement those joints see through the seasons.About the formulaA single-component polyurethane with a non-slumping body, so it stays put in vertical joints instead of sagging. It is designed to grip common building surfaces without a primer, cures to a waterproof, flexible seal and can be painted once cured. Selleys rates it for joint movement of around plus or minus 25%.Where to use itIndoors: joints between wall and ceiling elements, around door and window frames, and acoustic rated walls, plus general bonding of building materials.Outdoors: weatherproofing joints between brickwork, masonry, concrete, timber or metal frames, sealing around roofing, retaining walls, external wall and cladding joints, and expansion joints.Suitable materials include concrete, brick, masonry, ceramic tile, metals, softwood and hardwood, plus some plastics (test other plastics and rubber first).How to use itMake sure the joint is clean, dry and free of dust, oil and other contaminants, and use a backing rod in deeper joints. Cut the end of the sausage, load it into a sausage-style applicator gun and extrude the sealant so it makes full contact with both sides of the joint, avoiding trapped air. Tool the surface smooth with a spatula before a skin forms. Once cured, it can be painted. For outdoor work, a suitable exterior paint will help the finish last longer.Important notesWill not adhere to polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or PTFE. Do not apply when the air or surface temperature is below 5°C. Not suitable for permanent water immersion or below water line use. Not intended for structural applications or general glazing. Avoid alcohol and solvent cleaners on the sealant while it cures, as they can interfere with the cure. Very damp substrates can cause bubbling in the sealant. It may affect the drying of oil or alkyd based paints, so test paint compatibility first. White sealant can yellow slightly with age and sun exposure. Store unopened sausages below 30°C in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, where they keep for around 12 months from manufacture. Opened sausages may skin over near the opening, so discard any lump or skin before using the rest.Specifications Brand Selleys Product Flexiseal FC Polyurethane Sealant & Adhesive Size 600ml sausage Colour White Base Polyurethane (single component) Application Sausage, via sausage gun Joint movement capability Plus or minus 25% Minimum application temperature 5°C Shelf life (unopened) About 12 months below 30°C Use Interior and exterior SafetyPolyurethane products can still irritate the skin, eyes and airways, so wear gloves and safety glasses, work with good ventilation and avoid prolonged skin contact.

It seals and bonds expansion and construction joints in both vertical and horizontal applications, staying highly flexible once cured so it can absorb the natural movement of a building without cracking or pulling away. This 600ml grey sausage pack suits a standard sausage gun and is ideal for larger trade and DIY jobs. Key features High-strength, flexible grey polyurethane adhesive and sealant Handles up to ±25% joint movement Non-slumping, low-modulus formula Fast curing and weatherproof for indoor and outdoor use Paintable after cure with no primer needed on most surfaces Excellent adhesion to most common building materials Where to use it Bonds and seals most building materials including concrete, brick, masonry, ceramic tile, metals, softwood, hardwood and some plastics. Suitable for indoor and outdoor sealing of expansion and construction joints, around window and door frames, and general weatherproofing. How to use Prepare joints so they are clean, dry and free from oil, dust and curing agents. Use a backing rod for deeper joints. Cut the nozzle, load the sausage into a suitable gun and extrude the sealant, ensuring full contact with both joint sides and avoiding air entrapment. Tool and smooth off with a spatula. Once fully cured, paint if required using water-based paint. For solvent-based paints, undercoat with a water-based primer first. Important notes Applies and cures best at moderate temperatures (around 20°C), especially in cold weather. Will not adhere to PE, PP or PTFE; test other plastics and rubber before use. Not recommended for continuous submersion or below-water-line use. Not ideal over old or incompatible sealants, which may affect cure.
