Moment Montage liquid nails: features and benefits

Moment Montage liquid nails are a versatile tool for fastening various parts, trim elements and decor without the use of screws and nails. Ease of use and aesthetic result have made it possible to use the adhesive in many types of renovation work.

Liquid nails are composed of a large number of fine-grained fillers. This allows not only to glue, but also to seal the cracks. They perfectly bond wood, plasterboard, gypsum, ceramic and cork surfaces. Some types stick together glass, stone, metal.

Moment Montage liquid nails can be divided into two large groups according to their composition: based on synthetic resins and polyacrylate-water dispersion. This directly affects the properties of the glue, its technical characteristics and application.

"Moment Montage" based on synthetic resins contains rubber and organic solvents. Thanks to the latter, it has a pungent unpleasant odor and is easily flammable until it hardens. Handle rubber nails in a well-ventilated area. They are only suitable for construction and installation work.

Technical characteristics of rubber nails:

• seams withstand prolonged contact with water;
• perfectly bond smooth and non-absorbent surfaces;
• can be used as a sealant;
• thanks to the elasticity of the glue, the seams are resistant to vibration;
• excess mixture is removed only with a solvent;
• dissolve the plastic.

Nails based on polyacrylate water dispersion are chemically neutral. They can be used for interior renovation work: glue PVC panels, plastic skirting boards, baguettes, ceiling tiles. And although the hardened joint can withstand negative temperatures, the glue itself is stored and set at temperatures from +5 to + 300 ° C. It is marked on the MB packaging.

Technical characteristics of acrylic nails:

• do not have a pungent unpleasant odor;
• can be used to fill gaps;
• resistant to atmospheric moisture, but cannot withstand prolonged contact with water;
• after drying, it can be painted with dispersed paints;
• universal;
• at least one of the surfaces must absorb water well;
• excess can be easily removed with a damp cloth.

"Moment Montage" can also be divided according to the type of materialfor example, only for plastic. Nails are available in white or transparent (marking with a small letter "p"). The choice of liquid nails depends on the intended scope of work. If the seams come in contact with water, and the surfaces are smooth, non-absorbent, and the elements are large, then it is better to choose an adhesive based on synthetic resins. If you need to glue plastic elements of decoration, decor, repair work is carried out in living rooms, then it is better to use acrylic nails.

The Moment Montage line includes about sixteen products. Depending on the materials and the complexity of the upcoming work, you can easily choose the most suitable adhesive composition.

Available in bottles.

Liquid nails are a special durable adhesive formulated for mechanical fasteners. Bonding strength can replace screws and nails, hence the name. Perfect for installing tiles, panels, skirting boards, friezes, platbands, window sills, decorative elements. Does not require the use of impact tools during operation, but fasteners may be required to secure heavy structures. "Instant grappling" allows you to quickly complete all installation work. The polarization time is about 15 minutes, during this time you can move the parts, correct the direction.

Compounds on rubber are used for the installation of heavy structures where there is high humidity. Great for natural bamboo wallpapers, tiles and mirrors. For plastic elements, PVC and polystyrene, it is better to use liquid nails based on an acrylic water dispersion. They are more versatile, less dangerous and have no chemical odor. This glue can be used in children's rooms and other living areas.

Before applying the glue, the surfaces must be cleaned and degreased. Nails are applied with an indent from the edge by 2 cm so that the glue does not come out of the seam when squeezed. If the surface is uneven, apply in spots. For small surfaces, it can be applied with a line to give greater rigidity and increase the adhesion force. For example, for ceiling tiles, it can be applied in a continuous line around the perimeter, for wall panels - in small sections.

Apply glue according to the instructions. If the nails are acrylic, then apply glue and press, holding for a few minutes, until it sets. If the nails are rubber, then apply glue, connect the surfaces, and immediately separate them so that the solvents disappear, the bonding is better. Leave for 5-10 minutes and connect completely by pressing. If the structures are heavy, then use props.

If the excess does come out, then before they dry, they can be removed by scraping off with a plastic card like a spatula. Acrylic nails can be wiped off with a damp cloth, rubber nails can be removed with a solvent. If the surface is porous, then such manipulations will spoil the appearance. In this case, it is better to wait until the excess glue is dry and carefully cut it off.

• To work with liquid nails, you need to purchase a construction gun. The cartridge is inserted into it, then you need to open or cut off the tip. The composition is squeezed out with a trigger. If large-scale repair work is planned, then it is better not to save money and purchase a high-quality pistol. In cheap models, the trigger quickly fails. The gun itself is versatile and useful for working with sealant.

• If the concrete walls are fresh, then it is necessary to withstand for at least a month. This is necessary so that the surface dries well, and the concrete itself grabs. After that, you can start installation work. If PVC panels are to be glued to painted walls, they must be sanded. Acrylic nails do not adhere well to non-absorbent surfaces. According to numerous reviews, an additional primer can be applied.
• To improve adhesion to expanded polystyrene, the surface can be covered with wood glue diluted with water (1: 1). Once the primer is dry, nails can be applied. Parts are fastened with liquid nails quickly, but it will take more time to fully cure. The glue dries from 12 to 24 hours.
