Work top edging glue recommendations please
I need to stick a couple of worktop edges on, simple I thought, but
neither of my contact adhesives seem to work well. I'm sure I *used* to use contact adhesive for this but it really doesn't seem so sticky as it used to be. (The ones I have are Syntic plastic adhesive from Germany and Toolstation spray adhesive which has worked well for me in other applications) So I did a web search and while quite a few people seemed to be using contact adhesive there were quite a few suggesting PVA plus, maybe, ironing it. Is PVA + iron a sensible way of doing it? I have PVA 'in stock' so if it works then that will be a good way to do it. Otherwise what contact/impact adhesive is recommended? -- Chris Green · |

PVA needs to soak into the surface of the material being bonded so good tor porous material but poor with impervious materials. Its a couple of years I last bonded an edging strip but at the time managed to get hold of traditional impact adhesive (cannot remember the brand) but this modern stuff is crap!

PVA might be good choice[1] for sealing the cut edge prior to glueing, but it would not be my first choice for gluing the edge on.
