Developed due to the demand from users whom were tired of using the industry standard off the shelf, generic and low quality adhesive options. Grabfast FU brings a high quality aspect of adhesives to a market that has been historically left behind.

The advanced technical properties of Grabfast FU allows foam to foam bonding with ease, creating a strong but flexible glue line joint. The high tack properties are Ideal for curved surfaces whilst allowing for a slight immediate reposition if required.

Application

All substrates to be bonded should be conditioned at room temperature prior to fabrication. Surfaces should be dry, clean and dust free. Holding the gun parallel to the work surface and apply an even coat of adhesive aiming for 80% – 100% coverage to achieve the perfect bond. Do not allow the adhesive to puddle or concentrate in one area. Double coating the adhesive is recommended on edges of worktops or porous surfaces. Please ensure that the first coat is dry before applying the second coat. Where possible spray one surface horizontally and the other vertically to create a cross hatch when brining the two sides together. Remember that all Grabfast products are contact adhesives and forms a bond by adhering to itself, so there must be adequate adhesive applied to each substrate to be bonded. IMPORTANT – It is the users responsibility to ensure that the chosen Grabfast product is suitable for the application before use. The adhesive is dry when there is no transferrance to the finger. Bring the two sides together and using a J-roller, apply uniform pressure. Never bring the surfaces together, or apply a second coat prematurely as solvent will be trapped causing bubbles overtime.

Troubleshooting:

NEVER TURN THE CANISTER OFF UNTIL READY TO CONNECT TO A NEW CANISTER. TURNING IT OFF PREMATURELY COULD RESULT IN THE HOSE AND GUN BECOMING BLOCKED.

If the gun will not spray:

• Check the valve is turned on at the canister
• Make sure the gun wheel is wound open
• Using a spanner, remove the large front nut which secures the brass spray tip in place
• With the spray tip removed, attempt to spray the gun
• If the glue sprays, your brass tip is blocked. Please clean with Citrus cleaner and replace, or fit a new spray tip
• If there is still no flow, you have a blockage in your hose, usually caused by turning off the canister prematurely or not using the product for an extended period of time. Please contact us for guidance on how to safely remove your hose from the canister.
