Bostik EVO-STIK Impact Adhesive Spray

Aerosol contact spray adhesive. Manufacturer TDS explicitly lists both metal and cork among bonded substrates.

This is spray 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.

Preparation

Work in warm, well-ventilated conditions. Surfaces must be dry, clean and free from dust, dirt and grease; protect adjacent surfaces from overspray.

Limitations

Interior-oriented aerosol. Do not use on plasticised flexible PVC/vinyl, polystyrene, solvent-sensitive, asphalt or bituminous surfaces. Water resistance is undocumented. The service range comes from a superseded 2018 TDS and should be re-confirmed with Bostik for critical work.
