EVO-STIK Gripfill Gap Filling Adhesive

Perfect for around the house jobs including: sticking on some skirting, some architrave, a repair to a hot tub, a floor tile and two exterior brick vent covers. Easy to use, fast to grip and offers a solid solution with some flexibility when dry.

Good Value

A cost effective material - do note that is does expand a little after use...so if you are say fixing a broken roof tile, you will end up with a 'bulge' on the surface unless you are careful.

I've tried a lot of cartridge adhesives and find this to be the best balance between performance and value. I used it extensively when fixing up my previous house. It's excellent for mounting skirting board with the result feeling solid once set. The nozzle doesn't detach, so puncturing the seal can be a pain (use a long nail). I read somewhere that you can break the seal by bending the nozzle in the direction of the three arrows embossed on the top - but that ended in disaster :) You're actually supposed press the item you want to stick onto the adhesive, then remove it, wait a bit, then stick it back on. I think this is to activate the chemicals. I don't do this, but haven't had any problems. Sealing the nozzle after use is a pain, as you can't swap in a nozzle with a screw top. But, it lasts a fair while if you can stop air getting to it. It does smell like strong glue, so ventilate the area as best you can. I was tempted to buy a 12-pack of No Nails rather than 2 of these, but this stuff is just way better. Rather do the job right first time than having to re-stick. I recall there's an extra-strong GripFill, which I also tried, but this was adequate for me.

Great all-rounder to have. The original gripfill is always a good standby in the workshop and home for lots of jobs. The only single drawback is that it does eventually 'go off' in the tube.

I've used gripfill on and off for many years. I don't know if theses been a change in formula but it skins over now super fast, so if you don't attached the item super instantly, and I mean *instantly* it is skinned over so not very sticky. It also needs more support for overhead items even if lightweight. I won't be using it any more personally.

EVO-STIK Gripfill Buff is a reliable, heavy-duty adhesive that excels in bonding a wide range of materials — especially when gap-filling strength and durability are key.

The adhesive is pretty good, well worth the low price of under £4 that I paid. It's a thick, strong smelling adhesive, that holds very well. I used it to bind my Upstand to the wall and it gave me no problems, try not to get it on your skin, I ended up ripping skin off my fingers sitting there removing this from my hands the evening after I used it; wear gloves. DOWNSIDE: the green CARDBOARD tube is longer than your typical tube so it didn't fit in my cheap sealant gun, it was about 3-4cm too long. Determined to make it work, I forced the plunger into the back a few centimetres then used scissors to cut a few centimetres off the back of the cardboard tube so it would fit. Also used it to stick down a doorway bar thing, where the wooden floor of one room meets the floor at a different level in another room; time will tell how well it holds, but so far after a couple of weeks it seems solid.
