Sika Sika Gun a Nail

Solvent-free, high-strength gap-filling building adhesive for assemblies with at least one porous surface.

This is grab adhesive, no-nails, 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.

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.
