500ml Aerosol Spray Adhesive

Phillips screwdriver bits

Phillips drive remains one of the most widely used fastener systems in UK construction, joinery, and general trade work. These Phillips screwdriver bits cover the three sizes that account for the vast majority of PH-headed fasteners encountered on site: PH1 and PH2 at 25mm for standard fixing tasks, and PH3 at 50mm where a longer reach or heavier drive is needed. Supplied in packs of 10, these are stocked for volume use rather than occasional one-off jobs.

Why choose the Phillips screwdriver bits

• Three sizes, one range: PH1, PH2, and PH3 are ordered individually by size, so you stock exactly what your jobs require without paying for sizes you do not use.

• Pack of 10 per size: A single pack gives enough bits to keep multiple operatives running without constantly restocking. At this pack size, the cost per bit is well below what you would pay for smaller blister packs from a builders merchant.

• 25mm and 50mm lengths: PH1 and PH2 at 25mm cover the standard cordless drill and impact driver application. PH3 at 50mm is the correct length for heavier fixings where extra reach into the drive recess makes a practical difference.

• 1/4" hex shank: Compatible with every cordless drill, electric screwdriver, and magnetic bit holder on the market without adapters. Fits quick-release and standard chuck mechanisms equally.

• Hardened steel construction: The bits are hardened for extended tip life on repetitive fixing tasks, resisting the rounding and deformation that cheaper ungraded bits show after light use.

What's included

• 10 x Phillips screwdriver bits in your selected size and length: PH1 x 25mm, PH2 x 25mm, or PH3 x 50mm

Compatibility

Who is this for?

The Everbuild Stick2 instant spray contact adhesive is aimed at joiners, shopfitters, interior fit-out contractors, decorators, and site operatives carrying out bonding tasks across multiple substrates in a single working day. It is particularly relevant to trades that need to bond decorative laminates to substrate boards, fix cork or linoleum floor coverings, or adhere rubber and PVC sections without setting up a full contact adhesive spread operation. It is also used by maintenance teams in facilities management for rapid repairs to panelling, cladding, and soft furnishing materials.

Typical applications

• Bonding decorative laminate sheet to MDF, chipboard, or plywood substrate during shopfitting or kitchen installation.
• Adhering cork tiles or linoleum flooring sections to prepared concrete or timber subfloors in commercial refurbishment.
• Fixing rigid PVC or ABS trim sections to framing or substrate panels without mechanical fixings.
• Attaching rubber sealing strips, gaskets, or matting to metal or timber frameworks on site or in workshops.
• Securing canvas or fabric coverings to hoarding boards, display panels, or exhibition structures.
• Bonding acoustic foam panels to wall or ceiling substrates during fit-out of meeting rooms or recording environments.
• General repair bonding of stone, metal, and wood elements on maintenance contracts where speed of application is a priority.

How to use

1. Ensure all surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and loose material. Wipe with a solvent cleaner if contamination is present.
2. Shake the can well before use.
3. Turn the nozzle head to select the required fan width: narrow for beaded application on edges and strips, wide for covering sheet materials.
4. Hold the can 15 to 20cm (6 to 8 inches) from the surface.
5. For a permanent contact bond, apply one to three coats to both surfaces. Allow 30 seconds for the solvent to evaporate. Press surfaces together firmly from the centre outwards.
6. For a repositionable bond, spray a single coat onto one surface only. Allow to tack. Position the second surface and press into contact. The bond can be peeled and repositioned before final setting.
7. To prevent nozzle blockage, invert the can and depress the nozzle for one to two seconds at the end of each session to clear residual adhesive from the spray head.

Safety

Personal protective equipment: Wear safety glasses or goggles conforming to EN 166, chemical-resistant gloves conforming to EN 374, and ensure adequate ventilation during use. In confined or poorly ventilated spaces, use a half-face respirator with an organic vapour cartridge conforming to EN 140 and EN 14387.

Hazard summary (as labelled):

• Extremely flammable aerosol: keep away from heat sources, open flames, sparks, and smoking materials. Do not expose the can to temperatures above 50°C, including direct sunlight.
• Pressurised container: may burst if heated. Never puncture or incinerate the can.
• Causes serious eye irritation and skin irritation: avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• May cause drowsiness or dizziness: work in a well-ventilated space. Take regular fresh air breaks in confined areas.
• Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects: do not allow product or empty cans to enter drains or watercourses. Dispose of in accordance with local authority and COSHH waste disposal requirements.

Do not spray near ignition sources. Operatives using this product on site should be briefed on the relevant COSHH risk assessment before first use.

Maintenance

After each use, clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying briefly until only propellant gas is expelled. Store upright in a dry location between +5°C and +25°C, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Do not store near paint, thinners, or other flammable materials. Inspect the nozzle before use for blockage; if blocked, remove, soak in acetone or solvent cleaner, and allow to dry fully before refitting. Once opened, the can should be used within a reasonable period; check the manufacturer's guidance on the can for the opened shelf life. Unopened cans remain usable for 12 months from date of manufacture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between applying one coat and applying multiple coats with this adhesive?

A: A single coat applied to one surface only creates a repositionable bond: the surfaces can be pressed together and then peeled apart and realigned before the bond becomes permanent. Applying one to three coats to both surfaces and allowing 30 seconds for solvent evaporation creates a full contact bond that cannot be repositioned once pressed. The number of coats also affects bond strength: more coats on highly porous substrates improve surface coverage and final strength.

Q: Can I use this adhesive to bond expanded polystyrene or foam insulation board?

A: No. The solvent carrier in this adhesive will attack expanded polystyrene (EPS) and similar solvent-sensitive foams, causing the substrate to dissolve or distort. For bonding foam insulation boards, use a water-based or solvent-free adhesive formulated specifically for that substrate. This product is suitable for rigid PVC, ABS, rubber, and foams described as closed-cell rubber foams, but not EPS or XPS.

Q: How much coverage should I expect from a single 500ml can?

A: Coverage is 2 to 4 m² per can, depending on how porous the substrate is and how many coats are applied. On dense, non-porous materials such as metal or rigid PVC, you will achieve closer to 4 m² at a single coat. On porous substrates like untreated cork or canvas, coverage will be lower. For project planning, use 3 m² per can as a conservative working estimate and add 10 to 15% for wastage on irregular shapes and edges.

Q: Is this adhesive suitable for use outdoors or in wet conditions?

A: The adhesive bonds effectively to exterior-rated substrates and has good weathering resistance once cured. However, it should not be applied to wet or damp surfaces, as moisture contamination will prevent proper tack development. For applications subject to prolonged water immersion or high humidity, consider a specialist waterproof contact adhesive. Store cans indoors and above +5°C — freezing temperatures affect the propellant and adhesive performance.

Q: What does CFC-free mean and why does it matter on a managed construction site?

A: CFC stands for chlorofluorocarbon, a class of propellant gas formerly used in aerosols that is known to deplete the stratospheric ozone layer. CFC propellants are now banned under the Montreal Protocol, and their absence from this product is confirmed on the label. On sites operating under ISO 14001-aligned environmental management systems, procurement teams may be required to confirm that aerosol products are CFC-free. This product meets that requirement. It is worth noting that CFC-free does not mean the product is solvent-free: it still contains organic solvents and must be treated accordingly under COSHH.

Q: How should I dispose of empty or partially used cans on site?

A: Empty cans, once completely depressurised, should be disposed of through your site waste contractor as metal recycling where permitted by local authority guidance. Partially used cans are classified as hazardous waste and must not be placed in general waste streams or skips. They should be segregated, labelled, and collected by a licensed hazardous waste contractor. Never puncture or incinerate any aerosol can. Refer to your site COSHH and waste management plan for site-specific disposal procedures.

Q: Can I use this product in a spray booth or enclosed workshop?

A: Use in enclosed spaces requires forced ventilation or respiratory protection. The solvent vapour is heavier than air and will accumulate at low levels in unventilated spaces, creating both a flammability hazard and an inhalation risk. In any enclosed area, ensure cross-ventilation is active before spraying, and use a half-face respirator with an organic vapour cartridge (EN 140 / EN 14387) if ventilation cannot be confirmed as adequate. Do not spray near motors, heaters, or any ignition sources.

Q: How does this compare to a brush-applied or trowel-applied contact adhesive?

 A: The aerosol format is significantly faster for irregular shapes, overhead applications, and tasks requiring thin, even adhesive films. Brush and trowel application tends to deposit more adhesive per unit area, which can be advantageous on very porous substrates but adds cost and drying time. The adjustable fan nozzle on this product means spray width can be tailored to the task — narrow for edge bonding, wide for sheet coverage — reducing overspray on tight work. For very large areas where solvent exposure would be a concern, or where bond strength requirements exceed medium-duty, a specialist heavy-duty contact adhesive applied by brush may be more appropriate.
