Tips For Use – Bonding Metal



Sticky Ass Glue and Sticky Jack Glue are incredible tools for bonding dozens of materials (also known as substrates) together. Since both SAG and SJG are known as Moisture Curing Adhesives, in the case of bonding materials, using a little bit of water will help in the curing (drying) process.

(Moderation is a virtue though, as too much moisture will dilute the strength of Sticky Ass Glue. Please don't go drenching the materials with a power washer!)

Bonding Metal to Metal:
Because metal (and most other shiny materials) is a nonporous substrate, very little water exists in its makeup. That's why when you're bonding large pieces of metal to metal we recommend lightly misting, or running a damp cloth over one of the pieces. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak it.

Bonding Metal to Brick:
Because brick is a porous substrate, enough moisture exists in its makeup and the air around it to make the use of water unnecessary in most cases. However, since metal is a nonporous substrate, very little water exists in its makeup. In cases of bonding a large piece of brick to a large piece of metal, we recommend lightly misting the metal with just a bit of water. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak either of the materials.

Bonding Metal to Ceramic:
Because ceramic is a porous substrate, enough moisture exists in its makeup and the air around it to make the use of water unnecessary in most cases. However, since metal is a nonporous substrate, very little water exists in its makeup. In cases of bonding a large piece of ceramic to a large piece of metal, we recommend lightly misting the metal with just a bit of water. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak either of the materials.

Bonding Metal to Concrete:
Because concrete is a porous substrate, enough moisture exists in its makeup and the air around it to make the use of water unnecessary in most cases. However, since metal is a nonporous substrate, very little water exists in its makeup. In cases of bonding a large piece of concrete to a large piece of metal we recommend lightly misting the metal with just a bit of water. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak either of the materials.

Bonding Metal to FRP Board:
Because FRP Board is a porous substrate, enough moisture exists in its makeup and the air around it to make the use of water unnecessary in most cases. However, since metal is a nonporous substrate, very little water exists in its makeup. In cases of bonding a large piece of FRP Board to a large piece of metal we recommend lightly misting the metal with just a bit of water. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak either of the materials.

Bonding Metal to Glass:
Because metal and glass (and most other shiny materials) are nonporous substrates, very little water exists in their makeup. That's why when you're bonding large pieces of metal to glass we recommend lightly misting, or running a damp cloth over one of the substrates. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak either of the materials.

Bonding Metal to Rubber:
Because rubber is a porous substrate, enough moisture exists in its makeup and the air around it to make the use of water unnecessary in most cases. However, since metal is a nonporous substrate, very little water exists in its makeup. In cases of bonding a large piece of rubber to a large piece of metal we recommend lightly misting the metal with just a bit of water. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak either of the materials.

Bonding Metal to Stone:
Because metal and stone (and most other shiny materials) are nonporous substrates, very little water exists in their makeup. That's why when you're bonding large pieces of metal to stone we recommend lightly misting, or running a damp cloth over one of the substrates. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak either of the materials.

Bonding Metal to Wood:
Because wood is a porous substrate, enough moisture exists in its makeup and the air around it to make the use of water unnecessary in most cases. However, since metal is a nonporous substrate, very little water exists in its makeup. In cases of bonding a large piece of wood to a large piece of metal, we recommend lightly misting the metal with just a bit of water. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak either of the materials.
