How to use a PVC adhesive
How to use PVC adhesive
- Surface Preparation
Clean the surfaces you intend to bond with the adhesive. Remove any dirt, dust, grease, or loose particles using a suitable cleaner or solvent. Ensure the surfaces are dry before proceeding.
- Application
Apply the PVC adhesive to one of the surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of adhesive to use. Be cautious not to apply an excessive amount that could result in excessive squeeze-out or messiness.
- Spreading
Use a brush or applicator to spread the adhesive evenly over the surface. Ensure the adhesive covers the entire bonding area uniformly.
- Joining the Surfaces
Press the two PVC surfaces together firmly, aligning them properly. Apply pressure to ensure good contact between the adhesive and the surfaces. If needed, use clamps or other suitable methods to hold the materials in place while the adhesive cures.
- Curing Time
Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure. Keep in mind that curing time can vary based on factors such as temperature, humidity, and adhesive type.
- Clean-Up
Clean any excess adhesive immediately using a suitable solvent or cleaner. Be careful not to disturb the bonded surfaces during this process.
Tip: To store Adiseal once opened, leave about 1cm worth of product out of the nozzle and store the tube upright in a cool dry place. Adiseal requires moisture for it to cure. The exposed part out of the nozzle will cure creating a cap. To re-use Adiseal, pull the cured part out or cut the nozzle until the uncured part is reached.

Best adhesive for PVC wall panels & PVC bathroom cladding
Adiseal is an ideal adhesive for PVC wall panels & best adhesive for PVC bathroom cladding, offering exceptional strength, waterproof properties, and flexibility. It can effectively bond PVC panels & PVC bathroom cladding to various surfaces like brick, concrete, plaster, wood, stone, tile, marble, and more.
For optimal results, it is recommended to apply Adiseal in thin vertical strips, especially in areas where water may seep behind the wall panels. This prevents water accumulation on top of the adhesive, which can freeze and cause added pressure on the bond during cold temperatures.
Best adhesive for uPVC trim
Adiseal is a great adhesive to stick uPVC trim. It will glue uPVC trim to various building materials when installing windows or other construction applications. It will provide a flexible, waterproof and highly durable bond.
PVC glue
Adiglue can be used to bond PVC, but it should be noted that it is not as flexible or strong as Adiseal construction adhesive & construction sealant. While Adiglue is less brittle than super glues, it may not provide the same level of flexibility and strength.
