FAQs
What are Power Adhesives used for in woodworking?
They’re commonly used for edge banding, jig assembly, trim fixing, temporary holds, and fast repairs. Their rapid bonding properties are ideal for tasks that benefit from quick setting without clamps.
What materials do Power Adhesives bond?
These adhesives can bond timber, MDF, plywood, plastics, metal, fabric, foam, and more. Specific formulations are available for different substrates to maximise strength and performance.
Can I use Power Adhesives with any hot glue gun?
Power Adhesives glue sticks work best with compatible high-quality hot melt glue guns. Some models may require specific glue stick diameters (e.g. 12mm or 15mm), so always check before use.
How fast do Power Adhesives set?
Most formulations set within seconds to a few minutes depending on the material and ambient temperature. This fast curing makes them excellent for quick-turnaround work and production tasks.
Are Power Adhesives suitable for structural joints?
While strong and durable, hot melt adhesives are generally best for light to medium duty applications. For structural joints, they are often used as a temporary fix or in combination with mechanical fasteners.
Can I sand or paint over cured glue?
Once cured, Power Adhesives glue is flexible and durable. While it can be sanded lightly, it’s not always ideal for finishing. Some formulations may resist paint or stain, so test compatibility beforehand.
Are these glue sticks waterproof?
Most Power Adhesives are moisture resistant, though not all are fully waterproof. For outdoor or high-moisture environments, check product specifications for water resistance ratings.
Do Power Adhesives contain solvents?
No, hot melt adhesives are solvent-free and emit very low odour, making them a safer alternative for indoor use and well-ventilated workshops.
