How to use this product

• Ensure the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry and free from dust, grease, oil and loose powdery materials. If porous surfaces are greasy or dirty, we recommend cleaning the surface with SELLEYS LIQUID SUGAR SOAP, and allowed to dry. If the surface is non-porous eg glass or metal, firstly clean the surface with Mineral Turpentine and then again with Methylated Spirits, and allow to dry. If there is old difficult to remove residue such as old flaky paint, we recommend using paint stripper such as SELLEYS KWIK STRIP SMART, and allowed to dry. On wet timber pooled water should be wiped off. Highly oily timber types may need to be wiped with solvent prior to application to remove surface oils.
• We also recommend sanding the surface back with a good quality sanding block, such as a ROTA COTA Sanding Block Medium/ Course grain, as the construction adhesive will adhere more readily to a scratched up surface.
• Cut the seal at the top of the cartridge. Cut the nozzle end to desired opening (approx. 5mm diameter). Fit to the top of the cartridge.
• Insert the cartridge into a caulking gun.
• Apply a bead of product along the length of the joist, stud or batten. On broad flat surfaces apply beads every 40cm.
  Fix the surfaces with sufficient nails, screws or clamping to hold load and achieve contact over the total bond area. The product is repositionable for up to 20 minutes after fitting.
• Allow the adhesive to set (minimum 10-12 hours when at least one substrate is porous) before removing any temporary fasteners or clamping.
• The time it takes to form a strong bond depends on the nature and conditions of the application. In most situations strong bonds can be achieved within 12 hours and will continue to strengthen over a 7 day period.
• When the product is still wet it can be removed with mineral turpentine, otherwise if the product is dry it can be removed by sanding or scraping. We recommend using a 50mm ROTA COTA Soft Grip Scraper. Clean any excess from your hands with SELLEYS Hand Kleen Wipes.
• To eliminate squeaks in tongue and groove flooring, apply a bead of Liquid nails into the groove or each board when installing.

Handy tips

• Gloves should be worn when applying Liquid Nails Platinum. Avoid contact with skin.
• When applying to one surface, ensure sufficient LIQUID NAILS Platinum is used so that some adhesive extrudes out when surfaces are brought together then wipe off excess if necessary. If glue is not visible, then insufficient contact may not have been made between the surfaces and a weak joint may result.
• LIQUID NAILS Platinum should always be used in conjunction with mechanical fasteners in structural, critical or high stress applications.
• LIQUID NAILS Platinum expands slightly as it cures.
• Cured LIQUID NAILS Platinum residues can be removed by using a Direct Stick Remover.
