This wonderful glue by Evo Stick, is suitable for all paper/wood type applications, it works on chipboard, plywood, MDF sterlingboard, and any other material which is wood or paper based. It sticks like errr - glue. and does not take that long to dry (needs clamping or screwing while it does)
This is a modern chemical glue, in the old days it would be an animal glue, made from bits of horses and fish, this is not the case nowadays.
It comes in the usual plastic squeezy type bottles, which are flat, this means they don't roll away if you knock them over. The caps on these are not that good but you can stick a nail in the top. There are two types, waterproof, and non waterproof, personally I just ust the former, if I bought both types, one would go off on me as I do not use that much.
Prices - (as per B&Q) The waterproof version comes in at £4.18 for 250ml. the 500ml is £6.48, the one litre costs £9.47, and the massive 2.5 litre is just £15.97.
Now for the non waterproof type. This is available in just two suzes, 500ml is £5.78 and the full one litre costs £8.47, as you can see the non waterproof is a little cheaper.
This glue makes a brilliant gap filler, you can even mix it with sawdust to fill cracks which do not show up. When the glue has hardened, it can be sanded, filed, or even drilled, although you must bear in mind that it will stop wood from taking stain, so remove exess.
PVA glue is a very watered down version of this, so if you need to mix some with water for the kids, it is no problem. You must avoid getting this on clothes though.
The Evo Stick is available at pretty much every DIY store nowadays, and very often at Woolworths, Wilkinsons etc.
It is a milky white liquid, which is ran between both surfaces, the materials are then brought together & clamped, or otherwise fixed together, any exess should be wiped off with a moist rag while still wet,. When dry, the join is perfect, and very strong. I recommend this product, as I tend to do with most of my reviews. Don't get me wrong, if I dislike something I will say so, but in most cases I use what I like and this makes me feel qualified to do a review.
I do appreciate that this is a short review, but I don't believe in waxing lyrical just to fill a box with things people do not wish to read.
