Bostik EVO-STIK Impact Adhesive
Tin/tube contact adhesive. Manufacturer TDS explicitly lists both metal and cork among bonded substrates; not suitable for polystyrene, vinyl, polythene or polypropylene.
This is contact adhesive, so everything true of that chemistry applies here too.
We may earn a commission from links on this page. It never changes which adhesive we recommend.

What it bonds
Where the manufacturer names a material, we quote them. Where we have assessed it ourselves, we say so and grade it lower. The two are never merged.
