High-Strength, Weatherproof PVA Adhesive for Interior & Exterior Woodworking

EVERBUILD® 502 All Purpose Weatherproof Wood Adhesive is a high-quality, resin-based PVA adhesive suitable for all wood bonding applications. It provides a high-strength, impact-resistant bond that is usually stronger than the wood itself. Ideal for all general woodworking and joinery uses, furniture assembly, and household DIY projects.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Bond Strength: Offers an excellent rate of bond strength development.
• Weatherproof: High degree of water resistance (D3 Classification) for interior and exterior use.
• Fast Curing: Initial set in just 10 minutes under normal conditions.
• Dries Clear: Contains no inert fillers, ensuring a clean finish.
• Low Timber Staining: Will not stain wood, maintaining its natural appearance.
• Environmentally Friendly: Water-based formulation allows for easy cleanup.
• Creep Resistant: Conforms to BS 14256 for sustained load requirements.
• Radio Frequency Cure: Suitable for radio frequency curing applications.

Ideal For

• General woodworking and joinery uses.
• Furniture assembly.
• Household DIY projects.
• Bonding wood, hardboard, chipboard, and MDF.

Application Instructions

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease.
2. Application: Apply adhesive thinly to both surfaces. Do not over-apply as this will slow down curing.
3. Clamping: Clamp surfaces together until adhesive dries (initial set in 1–2 hours; full strength in 8 hours at 20°C).
4. Doweling: When fitting dowels, apply adhesive to the holes.

Limitations

• Not suitable for continuous immersion in water.
• Ensure wood moisture content is below 15%.
• Do not use at temperatures below 10°C.
• Drying time is extended at low temperatures.
• Clean excess adhesive off glue line after clamping before adhesive dries with a damp cloth.
• Sand off any excess adhesive before staining the wood.
• Ensure sufficient clamping pressure, especially important with radio frequency bonding.
• Use on Laminates: Only suitable for bonding small porous laminate strips. Do not use on non-porous or large areas of laminate. Use contact adhesive instead.
• For exterior use, all glue joints must be protected with an impervious paint system when dry.

Cleaning of Tools

Clean tools and excess adhesive immediately with water before the adhesive cures. Cured adhesive must be removed mechanically.
