EVO-STIK Flooring Adhesive

Offer with small tools but inside the container. If stick on outside the bottle is so convenient After applied on the floor to install vinyl flooring. Perfect 👍 Clean with warm water 👍

I was looking for a sensibly-priced glue to stick some Amtico vinyl tiles down in a shower room (onto moisture-resistant chipboard). The Amtico adhesives are very expensive so I tried Evo Stik 873 Flooring Adhesive, based on positive reviews on Amazon, and it being a trusted brand. The adhesive was excellent. It has a low odour (water-based) and has the consistency of a smooth yogurt, so is easy to spread. As someone has already commented, use the smaller serrated edge of the supplied spreader (meant for contact adhesive) or you will get too much adhesive on the floor, which will ooze out between the tile joins. If you do get adhesive on the face of the tile it will clean off easily with a wet piece of kitchen roll (as long as it hasn't set). Much easier to clean off hands and tools than solvent-based adhesives. Takes a while to set, so leave it 24 hours to be sure. I used masking tape, stretched across each joint, to ensure the tiles didn't drift apart whilst they set.

Great product, really easy to lay the laminate on, i found it easier to apply to the back of the boards rather than the floor. Just need a decent spreader to go with it. has been down for a while now and flooring seems to be well secure still. Was one of the cheaper options but definitely did the job

Seems to bond well, I had to weigh it down while it was curing and it didn’t go so far as it says on the tube but did the job fine. It can be messy if you don’t take care and I would suggest wearing gloves

Good flooring adhesive

Well this does do the job, but 2 hours dry time? - optimistic at best. I have worked with many adhesives and sealants but I have to say this has to be one of the most awkward and infuriating I have come across.I used it to fix vinyl planks to a synthetic coated insulated floor. I followed the instructions for the first plank, this was a huge mistake. The tile oozed out glue everywhere and sat far too proud, I had to scrape virtually all the glue off. The glue is extremely sticky, you only need a very thin coat not the liberal amount recommended. I found that you had to put on very little and comb it out with the provided scraper. You must clean down as much as you can as you go along, this stuff smears everywhere, I used a cloth covered in sealant remover, this seemed to work well. (TRY IT ON A SPARE PIECE FIRST TO ENSURE IT DOES NOT TAKE THE COLOUR OUT OF THE TILE) Also mind that this glue is supposed to dry in 2 hours, absolutely not. It took 10 days before the tiles were anything like set, this was in a room with an ambient temperature of around 17 degrees. Up until this point glue oozed from the seams as soon as any pressure was applied. On the plus side once the glue had set, it was solid. It dries to a brown finish which for me as I laid light oak coloured tiles was a bonus For ease of use and drying I would rate this glue 1 star, but because it did eventually dry and stick well I have pushed it up to 3. If I ever had to vinyl tile again, I would certainly be looking for an alternative.

Having never used a product like this before, I entered my whole project with a certain amount of trepidation. I chose a brand which I was familiar with, even though I couldn't find any information on laying luxury vinyl tiles on top of the original thermoplastic tiles. Thought I'd give it a go... Although on the tub it says for rough back tiles to use the deeper notched side of the spreader (which handily is included in the tub), this proved too much adhesive, an interesting couple of days ensued whilst we avoided/gingerly stepped on, the tiles. No harm done apart from three rather sulky dogs! Lesson learnt, the rest of the kitchen was done using the other side of the spreader - brilliant, we could use the flooring immediately Handy hint - when I entitled this 'a sticky situation' I meant it. Using thin silicone or latex gloves may be a good idea. Perhaps it was me having never done this before, but this adhesive really is sticky (I guess it has to be), but if you want to avoid your taps, kettle, door handles/steering wheel/gearstick, and everything else you touch being sticky, perhaps try the above advice. I have had many positive remarks about the flooring, and would recommend this product, even to novices like myself...

A bit messy, but good stuff

Grosse arnaque, sur l'image on voit un pot où c'est marqué pour une surface de 20m2 hors on reçoit un pot pour une surface de 7,5 a 10m2!!!! Effectivement le pot fait bien 2,5l mais l'image est mensongère et trompeuse. Du coup aussitôt l'emballage ouvert aussitôt retourner car pour le prix c'est loin d'être intéressant
