Wonderful for general repairs around the home - contact adhesive but not stringy and so easy to use
I have been using this since Dunlop first released it years ago (1960's I would guess), then Alpha bought their adhesives division in the 2000's. It's got all the advantages of other contact adhesives in that once the glued surfaces are pressed together they bond and hold and no clamping needed. However, the stuff is thixotropic so does not drip nor is it "stringy" when applying like other well know brands. In the tin its the consistency of very thick tomato sauce, and can be spread with their spreader, a wooden lollipop stick, or a disposable brush. Good for bonding dissimilar materials like cloth onto wood or plastic (covering speaker cabinets, lining guitar cases with material), or the traditional use of gluing Formica laminate onto wood. It also has the unique feature that after letting the surfaces dry to the touch you can very very gently place the two together and still have a chance of re-positioning them. You have to press them together (just hand pressure) to achieve the instant full bond. So helpful when I was re-lining my old guitar case with 6mm thin foam and then covering with cloth material. Not cheap but well worth it for its ease of use and good results.

Great glue and seems very strong.
Great for sticking laminate other things. Mines still going strong and must be nearly 12 months since I used it. Would definitely buy again and recommend it!

Good product
As expected, strong adhesive great for purpose, bit messy once opened, but this is mostly with all glues/paints I guess.

Perfect for cosplay making
Purchased to use in building a cosplay made of EVA foam. Good quality and works well. The smell, unlike other contact adhesive is not overpowering. A good size can for multiple uses. The plastic spreader this came with it is easily cleaned once the contact adhesive has dried on it, it's easily peeled off to clean.

Contact Adhesive
Goes on easily enough, give it 10 minutes then press both surfaces together, gives really good instant adhesion. I used it for laminate edging on new kitchen worktops, but seems a good glue with suggested good shelf life.

The bee's knees
I've been using this stuff since the days it was made by Dunlop. It spreads like butter and sticks like mud to a blanket. If you bring the glued surfaces together gently, then you can tweak the positioning before finally firming up. Worth every penny.

Shoes (Trainers) Repair
Worked fantastic to repair a pair of Nike trainers. Parts of the outer sole to the midsole, parts of the midsole to the uppers and the outer sole to the toe box. Being a contact adhesive, obviously apply to both surfaces, leave to dry for 10-15 minutes then press together. If possible tape surfaces together for a few hours after. Sticky and messy but what do you expect from glue?

Does exactly what it states on the can!
Been around for ages, used to be a Dunlop product. Easy to apply and spread without getting everything stuck to you like some Impact Adhesives.
