3MFastbond Contact Adhesive 30NF, Green, 1 Gallon Can

I used this to glue Filon back on camper. Worked flawlessly. Easy clean up.

This 3M contact adhesive worked like a charm adhering 3 mm thick cork panels to the walls and ceiling in my RV. The RV surfaces were a mixture of primed plywood and vinyl wallpaper. I used the green stuff, which occasionally leaked through the cork panels. A little rubbing removed the excess (cured) adhesive with a few exceptions. In the future, I would consider the clear version, though I'm uncertain whether even application would be more difficult without the green tint. I'm glad I spent the money on the good 3M stuff.

This is crap. Yes it is water base and eco friendly, but you have to quadruple the suggested coverage to get any adherence what so ever, and even then it does not hold as strongly as advertised. Used on polystyrene panels in an RV rebuild because I needed an adhesive that didn't melt the styrofoam when glueing to underlayment. At $100 per gallon I was hoping it would stick, followed directions explicitly...no dice. After curing for a couple days the panels still separated. Its junk, find an alternative method of construction what ever it is you are glueing so that you can use conventional solvent based contact cement instead of the weak sauce.

I used this glue on fabric for the "wiener dog aero method" you can find online. The process is very similar to the Stewart System method but it uses exterior "latex" paint which is an acrylic enamel and not latex anymore. I used about half a gallon of this contact cement on an Experimental Kolb Firestar. I did some test strips of 1" glue joint on fabric to fabric. In shear a man cannot pull it apart. You can peel it apart but not in shear. I love how there is no odor and you use water to clean up.

THIS IS SOME GNARLY STUFF - GETS THE JOB DONE RIGHT. we made the mistake of buying some cheap stuff before getting this- the difference was RATHER NOTICABLE.... THIS IS SOME STRONG STUFF.

did not stick well, hard to clean off green residue

Yes, this 3M 30NF Water based Contact Cement is excellent. Years ago I could find it for $23 a Gallon. It's been a while since I've needed some and I'm shocked by the price, wow. Outrageous!I'm going to impart some good information about working with Water Based Contact Cement. The guys that say "I'll never use that stuff again etc..." , they just don't know how to use it. But you know it is the future so let's get it right, right here!1) I roll it using a short nap roller. Critical - DON'T over-roll it. The high Solids materials that do the bonding tend to resorb back into the roller the more you work it while bond-killing water gets worked into the fibers.2) Keep it thin. It's tempting when having problems to want to slap 3, 4, even 5 coats on your surfaces (I've done it). Just 2 quickly rolled coats, cover it well but don't get too fussy, just get it on there quickly and leave it alone.3) The cans always say 30-45 minutes of dry time. You must wait at least an hour, 90 minutes is best, and if it's cold and raining add another 30-45 minutes.4) Towel in hand or rolling pin in hand, press hard along all surfaces. Then, use a block of wood and a Hammer along all surfaces. If you rushed the dry time and it feels like it's not bonding well, grab your heat gun. Blast the top surface (if it can't be peeled apart) with the heat gun and immediately follow with the wood block and Hammer.5) Once you get grooved on these points you will have a better bond than any solvent based cement. The 3M 30NF is great stuff but way too expensive. There is another, see below.6) Try this product > Better Bond's Titan DX(tm) premium contact cement. Google it.You are good to go!Nuclearfueled

I used this product to install cork tile flooring. I was impressed with the ease of use, strength of the initial grab and the relatively low fumes. It also goes farther because it is thinner than solvent-based adhesive. I would definitely use it again.
