Applications

Our special Sta-Stuck sprayable contact adhesive is an adhesive that will reliably stick SBM5 Soundproofing Mat, Acoustic Membrane and M20AD soundproofing for walls to a wide variety of surfaces with no adverse effect. It is a low odour product, has a high solids content and is water and heat resistant with permanent flexibility.

This glue is also useful for sticking a wide variety of other sound insulating products including our acoustic foam and M20AD wall insulation. It is particularly good to work with due to its low solvent content which does not leave strong fumes lingering after use. Note: Sta-Stuck should not be used as a permanent fixative for outer layers; once a SBM5 or M20AD has been fixed with Sta-Stuck, an additional layer of plasterboard should always be attached immediately to avoid the bond from failing as a result of excessive heat.

Directions

PLEASE NOTE !! STA-STUCK IS A CONTACT ADHESIVE. ONCE THE PRODUCT IS OFFERED UP TO THE SURFACE AND FIXED IT CANNOT BE EASILY RE-POSITIONED.

Shake can well before use (especially in cold conditions) Best results are obtained when working in an ambient temperature of 70oF/21oC with surfaces to be bonded properly conditioned. Ensure all surfaces are thoroughly clean and free from moisture, dirt, dust and grease or any other materials that could affect the bond. For vertical or horizontal patterns, turn tip in spray nozzle clockwise to adjust the spray pattern. Hold spray can 6 to 8 inches from the surface and apply in even coats, making sure the adhesive 'webs' across the surface. Do not hold closer than 6 inches or use too much be ‘wetting’ the surface.

It is important the adhesive 'webs' across the surface and 80 - 100% coverage is achieved as shown on the picture above.  One surface should be sprayed vertically and the other horizontally. Do not concentrate in one spot or allow the adhesive to 'puddle'. Double coating applications are recommended on porous surfaces (after the first coat has dried, apply a second coat evenly on top). Allow adhesive to tack (approx 2 - 4 minutes) and bond together with a firm pressure over the entire area. Tack time can vary depending on climate conditions.

It is important that maximum uniform pressure is applied to over the entire area bonded to achieve maximum bond strength. Use the Spray Contact Adhesive in well ventilated conditions. As the bond can also fail in extremes of heat it is also important to add a top layer of plasterboard as soon as possible to ensure that the sound insulation layer is held firmly in place.
