Description
Selleys Liquid Nails Flex is a flexible construction adhesive built for jobs that need a strong, lasting hold that can still move. It is designed to stretch a long way under load while keeping its grip, so bonded materials can expand, contract and shift with the building without the join letting go.
What it is
A high-performance, low-VOC construction adhesive that bonds to most common building materials, porous or non-porous, and will even grab onto damp surfaces. It cures quickly, shrugs off everyday movement and wear, and stays paintable once set.
Where to use it
Indoors: fixing skirting, architraves, trims, panelling, plasterboard, tiles and general carpentry where a bit of flex is wanted.
Outdoors: exterior trims, cladding and general building repairs, thanks to its interior and exterior rating and weather resistance.
How to use it
Cut the nozzle and load the cartridge into a standard caulking gun. Run a continuous bead along studs, joists or battens, or space beads roughly 5cm apart on broad surfaces. Bring the surfaces together within about 10 minutes and brace, clamp or fix mechanically. Leave temporary fasteners in place for at least 4 hours, and use mechanical fixings for high-stress work.
Important notes
Do not rely on it as the sole support in structural or overhead applications, and avoid tightly clamped joints. Wipe up uncured adhesive with mineral turpentine; once cured it is removed by scraping or sanding.
