Key specifications

Choosing the right option

ADOS F2 is a liquid (non-gel) adhesive. For vertical and ceiling work and for porous surfaces such as Gib board, see the thixotropic non-drip gel CRC ADOS F3 Non-Drip Contact Adhesive 8020 - 500ml.

For a spray-applied contact adhesive see CRC ADOS Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive.

Using it

Directions: surfaces must be thoroughly clean and dry, and pre-wiped. Stir thoroughly before use. Some porous surfaces may need a thin sealing coat, dried before the final coat.

Apply a thin, even layer to both surfaces by brush or roller, brushing in short quick strokes. Bond when tacky (10-20 minutes, tacky but not transferring to a clean finger). Contact is immediate, so position accurately, then apply maximum overall instant pressure, for example with a hand roller, to expel air bubbles. No solvent should be trapped in the bond.

F2 is not a gap filler. Test flexible vinyl first, because plasticiser migration can reduce bond strength; check the test sample after 24 hours. Thin only if the adhesive has thickened through solvent loss. Heat reactivation to 80°C is only for once all solvent has evaporated.

Clean application equipment with ADOS Solvent N, and to remove coagulated adhesive from surfaces with ADOS Solvent PS (not for cleaning equipment).

Storage and handling

Store in a sealed container, indoors, between 5°C and 20°C, for up to 12 months.
