Description
A premium grade, high strength construction adhesive that delivers a weather resistant, strong, flexible and shock resistance bond that is useful in many landscaping projects.
Uses
Ideal for landscape jobs such as:
Stabilise stone and interlocking masonry retaining walls
Bonding pavers to concrete
Bonding capstones to wall
Repairing rockeries
Seal between treated pine logs to reduce soil loss
Stabilise loose stone steps
Technical Features
Strengthens and increases the life of dry stone and interlocking masonry walls
High flexibility to withstand seasonal movement and temperature extremes
Excellent adhesion to sound concrete and similar materials
UV resistant and long lasting in all weather extremes
Low odour during application
Non corrosive
Gap filling
Application Tips
Cannot be painted over
Not recommended for permanent water immersion applications
If re-positioning materials, fresh adhesive must be applied to achieve bonding
Not suitable for adhering loose soft crumbly materials
New concrete etc will not adhere to cured adhesive
All surfaces must be sound, dry and free from oil, grease, loose powdery material.
If necessary, use mineral turpentine to clean surface and allow to dry.
Cut cartridge tip, fit nozzle and cut nozzle tip to a suitable size opening (approximately 5mm).
Place cartridge into caulking gun.
Apply ‘dobs’ or ‘beads’ of adhesive of appropriate thickness to ensure sufficient contact and spread between both surfaces. (To minimise ‘squeezed out’ apply at least 12mm in from edges)
Immediately bring surfaces together before product skins (within 5 minutes) and apply sufficient pressure to spread between both surfaces
Do not wipe ‘squeeze out’. Wait until product cures and remove by trimming with a sharp blade, but avoid cutting into the bond.
Leave bond undisturbed until adhesive cures sufficiently. Do not allow traffic on stairs or use of walls for at least 24 hours after adhesive application.
Do not apply to wet/damp surfaces
Technical Details and Performance
Liquid Nails Landscape will skin and begin curing within 5 minutes. Full cure will normally be achieved in 72 hours.

Consistency (As applied)
Non-slump, solvent free paste
Curing Mechanism
Very rapidly develops rubber consistency by reaction with moisture from the air
Curing Rate
2mm depth per day
Skin Forming Time
10-15 minutes (depending on weather conditions)
Service Temperature
–60°C to +150°C
Lap Shear Bond Strength (Hoop Pine to Hoop Pine at 1.6mm thick adhesive, 500sq mm bond area)
After 7 days: 570KPa
Coverage
15 metres of a 5mm diameter bead
Cleaning
Clean all excess adhesive from equipment before it cures with a cloth dampened with mineral turpentine or acetone. Once cured adhesive is extremely difficult to remove and must be abraded or trimmed with a knife. Spilt of smeared adhesive is best left to cure and then removed by abrasion.
