Grab adhesive - grab and strength test
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 07. 2016
- A few months back I recreated a video that I watched on CZcams called “the maximum torque challenge”. I was not convinced by the manufacturer’s integrity when making their video and so I decided to repeat their tests in my own video, the results of which were quite different to their results. The original video can be seen here-
• The real Maximum Torqu...
I then decided to do another test to see how well each of the adhesives would perform at removing a wooden block that was glued to a piece of external plywood using each brand of grab adhesive, the results of which can be seen in this video-
• Grab adhesive strength...
A few people commented on both videos asking if I could try out other makes of grab adhesive and so I made this video, which includes the initial grab on a vertical surface using a block paver weighing 2KG, then the hydraulic test to see how much force is required to remove the wooden block from the external plywood.
I do apologise for the quality of the filming of the pressure dial, but the light on the dial automatically switches itself off after a few seconds. As I film myself sometimes I don’t realise the camera is not picking up the important bit due to bad light reflections etc.
In this second test Only the PINKGRIP passed the initial grab test on a vertical surface with no slipping at all.
The amount of pressure required to break the bond between the block and plywood was as follows
GRIPFILL - 202 PSI. Cost £2.49
PINKGRIP- 228 PSI. Cost £2.45
No more nails - 265 PSI. Cost £4.99
ADISEAL- 362 PSI. Cost £9.00
Serious STUFF - 397 PSI. Cost £11.99
Geocel The Works- 528 PSI. Cost £7.99
C-T-1 - 642 PSI. Cost £10.20 - Jak na to + styl
I appreciate this is one of your older videos but I have only just discovered you/them. Subscribed

Thanks for the comment and for subscribing ;-)
A very comprehensive test I would say! These videos are incredibly helpful to people like me who don't always have the funds to do our own tests, and end up out of pocket because of (some) manufacturers wild, exaggerated claims! Thanks for the great results and detailed test. N.
I'm glad these videos help!Thanks for the comment Neil ;-)
First of all Chaz, love your uploads! Always look forward to them on You Tube. I always have a box of Bostik "Grips like sh*t" in the van, used it for a couple or so years now. It's never failed!!! Even on masonary! Give it some support for a couple of minutes and it does the job perfect on heavey items. Light stuff, never had a problem! Squeeze and forget!
Thanks for the comment ;-)
way too much adhesive a 1 to 3 mm bead would have ALL these stick and stay .been there got the tshirt
Holy cow Batman, I've only been a handyman for a year and diy enthusiastic for 16 years. I've always reached for own brand or grip fill. I'll definitely be changing my brands now. Thanks for an awesome video.
You are welcome Andy.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
In my experience you would get a better result by putting thinner stripes of adhesive on the bricks. If the adhesive is too thick it tends to defeat the purpose which is probably why the CT1 didn't stick until it was further down the wall and the adhesive had thinned out a bit.
Good video though, keep up the good work.
Master good point
I thought same. More the better isn't always true
Choochter I’ve only ever used stuff like this to seal cracks
Excellent video as always. Keep them coming. Thanks
Thanks for the comment Alan ;-)
It was interesting to see the results. I used pinkgrip today because it was cheap, so it's reassuring to find it works so well.
Yes, for the money it is ok. I think it would be better in a plastic tube though.
Thanks for the comment
Thanks for this - pink grip it is!! Needed some grab glue..
Great video and great testing, really shows the difference. May I suggest the addition of a summary table at the end would be helpful and also to always work to the line on the grab test so you could measure slip in mm.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
to be honest I learn alot throw this channel and know I work with professional company before I was just handyman. but bs of ultimate handyman I m site supervisor all credit goes to this channel keep it up great work
Thank you ;-)
Very interesting tests Chez - Thanks!
You are welcome John.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Great video at least we know what to buy if needed. Thanks another great video
Thanks for the comment 👍
Great series. I watched your last one as well, very informative. I don't know if you guys have Loctite PL Premium but that's the go-to pro adhesive used in the states. If you ever do another round, I would like to see how it performs.
Thanks, I have never heard of that before but if I see some I'll pick some up.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Brilliant testing, thank you. It would have been good to have a look at what was left after the hydraulic test to see if the adhesive or the timber block had torn first.
Thanks, the only one that de-laminated the timber was the C-T-1, which took part of the plywood with it. On the previous tests that I did the Nemese brand from screwfix held so well that the wooden block split in two, the two original test videos are here (just in case you have not seen them)

Very informative. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Thanks for the comment 👍
excellent test, it's good to know that you dont have to spend £10 plus for a good adhesive, the pinkgrip did well. i have heard
CT1 is very good for plumbing etc but i was not sure how good was it as an adhesive, now you have saved me wasting money on all these so called all bells and whistles adhesives. keep up the good work, i love you videos very helpfull. kevin
Im glad the video helped.
Thanks for the comment
best videos best way to explane the right methods about building work great work
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Thank you for a intresting test. To buy the best product is important. But still important that the psi is diffrent . have a great week
You are welcome.Thanks for the comment ;-)
just bought a load of pink grip for 2.30 each on a whim from wickes so the initial grip is great ....
and btw the tutorial on the pipe bender worked a treat i made my shower riser yesterday and the family think i bought it!!!
not bad as i already had the chrome pipe and fittings and of course the bender from years ago!!
so thanks again i got a refund on the 120 riser kit that looked naff !!
you are saving me time and cash..great videos...
I'm glad the videos help ;-)Thanks for the comment.
Impressive tests - CT-1 scored very well in the pressure tests (looks as if wood surface gave way before the glue!
Yes, that's correct. The bond on the C-T-1 was very impressive.
Thanks for the comment
I agree way too much applied, also I would move the block around till you feel the grip has caught. I do small a circle motion till it feels grabbed.
I just copied what Everbuild did in their original "Maximum torque challenge video".
Of course there is nothing stopping you from going out and buying the same adhesives as me to repeat the test with less adhesive for the benefit of the people on CZcams?
Superb. I love these forensic DIY videos and I can't thank you (and people like you) for taking the time to make them. However.. I've worked in very heavy engineering all my life and one of the many things that drives me a bit nuts is folks using too much adhesive. For example.. I used to see guys building cranes and SOAKING bolts in Loctite. There is no need to do this. A few small spots of Loctite gets the job done without a pool of blue stuff on the floor.
Thanks for the comment 👍
I live on the fifth floor and trying to put chicken wire or netting any advice how I should do it
Interesting stuff, I've always gone for grip fill personally. I think it would have been a fairer test if you used the manufacturers instructions regarding the amount of adhesive to apply. Not surprised they slid with that amount of adhesive! Great vid though
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Hi Chaz, great video! Keep up the good work. Quick question: did you have price range when buying these products or was it whatever was available the shop? Also, were all the adhesives approved for working with mansory/concrete/bricks? If you were to select 1 based on the tests - which one would you use? Thanks! Love your videos.
Hi Aakash, in the first test that I did I bought the same adhesives that everbuild used in their "maximum torque challenge", then for the second test (this one) I bought adhesives that people recommended from the first video-
czcams.com/video/9XgDvYsJiB8/video.html
I think all grab adhesives can be used on masonry.If I had to choose one brand I'd go for the Nemesis brand sold at Screwfix as it performed well in both of the tests that I did, including the strength test-
czcams.com/video/80pC1-eJFj0/video.html
Oh thanks - I missed that! You did mention it in the first seconds of the video! Yeah, I have heard good reviews for Nemesis - some sources say its a Dow Corning product.
Thanks, the Nemesis gear is excellent. It would not surprise me at all if it was made by Dow Corning.
Top video, It would be great to see a test of weight load bearing capabilities of the new plasterboard foam based adhesive versus the traditional dot and dot method. Also interested to see hot the new Stick Like pars up with the CT1 etc
Yes, those tests would be interesting. I suspect dry wall adhesive will be much stronger than the foam!
Thanks for the comment
Thumbs up for including gripfill
Wouldn't the amount, and thickness of the Sealant, allow for the slipping of the bricks? A thinner application may be a better test...
I tried to put roughly the same amount on the bricks that was used in the original "Maximum torque challenge", as their video tested out several brands of grab adhesive and only the Maximum torque stuck. I have tried it with roughly half of the adhesive and it did not make the block pavers stick any better.
Thanks for the comment
Outstanding. Thanks.
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment 👍
It's a great video and kudos to you for making it, but I think it could do with a final summary - what are your thoughts after this test? Any product you'd particularly recommend or advise against? Have your tests changed your daily choices when it comes to grab adhesives?
Thanks, I try to make my videos as short as possible and try not to influence people by doing a summary.
This is only one of the tests that I conducted after my initial "real maximum torque challenge". You can see more videos here-
czcams.com/video/9XgDvYsJiB8/video.html
czcams.com/video/80pC1-eJFj0/video.html
To be honest I use Nemesis now (from screwfix) as it stuck on the vertical test and also performed well on the strength test. I even glued the bottle holder into my fridge door using Nemesis grab adhesive and even epoxy glue would not do that!
Thanks for the comment
For initial grab, I use the stick, pull apart, refit method. never had a problem using Gripfill or Pinkgrip. Many of today`s materials don`t like adhesive based products anyway, so you have to go solvent free, and choose suitable methods of additional fixing or support.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Because of your Part 1 video we only buy Nemisis. Would like to see the best grip on skimmed plasterboard, thanks
which grab adhesive would you suggest for a good an secure fixing of timber stud to concrete wall inside. i dont want to take chance of hitting wires that may b hidden.
I'd just use Nemesis from Screwfix as it's cheap and works well
Have really enjoyed this videos - am considering trying something other than my old standby Stixall.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Cheers mate 👍 that test was so captivating sorry about the pun i was glued to my screen. Cheers 🍻
😁
I used to use gripfill all the time until I tried pink grip. smoother out if the tube and goes off quicker.
First test with the brick was useful , informative and practical. The second test which depended on the strength of a ply veneer was about as ridiculous as it's possible to be.
Yeah, because people never use grab adhesives on plywood 😜
It's the way you apply the adhesive. Top tip . Apply lots of "0" instead of a line and when you push it on it pops to secure it to the wall
I applied it the way Everbuild did in their original video "the real torque challenge".
Thanks for the comment 👍
nice video ,i got an " airing cupboard " which isnt its just a closet in a new build flat but the entire electric consumer board is next to it so sod knows where the wires from it go to so i dont wanna drill or punture holes into it for brackets for shelfs ,i dont have a wire or stud finder so id rather glue posts on the insde for support struts
Yes drilling in such places is a bad idea.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Brilliant video. This should be shown on the shopping channels when they are trying to sell the tubes at £10+.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Interesting thanks. I normally use the Screwfix own brand if it's something light, as it's only 1.50 a tube. It works pretty well, it won't grab anything too substantial though. Nemesis is a better product, but 5 quid a tube, these 10 quid a tube ones are way too much. Might switch to Pinkgrip in the future, after watching this .
Nemesis is great, I have used that a few times now and is my grab adhesive of choice.
You are right about the price though, some of these at £10 a tube are simply hyped up or clever marketing.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Thanks for reviewing these, appreciate this as we wouldn't really be able to test to these sort of levels. Only real world tests. I've never got on with gripfill, if I had a choice would probably use the pinkgrip for a general cheap grab adhesive.
You are welcome.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
I've been using stixall for several years and it is great stuff
Thanks for the comment 👍
Great Test thankyou.
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment 👍
Wife and myself totally gripped by the fascinating experiment!
I suppose for most applications, once you get above a certain baseline, the actual increase in strength is somewhat academic but the results are very interesting all the same.
Absolutely.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
How about a tile adhesive video? I've had good and bad experience with it wikes tile adhesive was terrible but evostick was really good on large tiles.
I had more fun watching this video then watching my favorite premier League team Chelsea fc play a winning game I'm impressed with the last one the wood meterial failed before the grip product did I'm pretty suprised about pink grip though intiallaly it gripped better than the others but I thought it would have done a lot better stength wise great video chez
I'm glad the video was more entertaining that watching football. I'm not a fan of football at all so would rather watch paint dry LOL.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Very interesting test. I still maintain gripfill is the best rounder, and I've seen it as cheap as £1.50. Or I'm just set in my ways!! In America it's called PL premium, and is very popular. Well conducted test as usual
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Hi could I use CT1 to fix some small wooden batons to an outside brick wall ,to put up some feather edge panels up......thanks
Yes, that should be fine, although mechanical fixings would be preferred, as you don't want it detaching with the wind etc.
I really find these tests fascinating and i just want to stick things now lol. I found the no more nails really funny as I had visions of someone nailing a brick to a wall :-)
Thanks for the comment ;-)
A great test! I have on occasion used two different adhesives for the same application, a high grab, fast drying one for initial hold and a slower curing and far stronger one for lasting strength. Get the best of both this way. From what you tested in this case i'd go for the pink grip plus C-T-1
Thanks, the C-T-1 bond was good, but I'd just use the nemesis brand from screwfix as the initial grab is good and the bond is excellent as well. Not sure if you have seen the previous videos-
czcams.com/video/9XgDvYsJiB8/video.html
czcams.com/video/80pC1-eJFj0/video.html
Thanks for the comment
Great experiment,I would love to see how aldi s grab adhesive fares out seen as its only €2 and it's made in Germany if that helps
I'll look out for some of that in future ;-)
Thanks for the comment
Is the gauge showing psi, or is it calibrated to show the ram push?
Great video again!
Its just showing PSI.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
It doesn't matter for a the comparison test, but I thought that with a 2" (?) cylinder the "push" will be around 3 times more than the pressure. Some impressive results of actual load bearing ability there!
Absolutely. The C-T-1 and Nemesis both broke the wood before the adhesive failed- very impressive!
Thanks for the comments ;-)
I think in a video like this you should have a "re-cap" part at the end where you show all the products and how they performed in both tests.
Hi, the information is in the description field under the video.
Thanks for the comment
Hi are these Polyurethane adhesives? curious to know what the best Polyurethane Construction adhesive may be? gorilla by any chance?
Not sure which ones are polyurethane, I do have another batch here to test when I get chance!
Thanks for the comment
Which is the best to lay down a oak wood door threshold bar?
If you can get it, I would use Adiseal 👍
Neat experiment.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
nice video. i would have loved to see a summary of results and hear your thoughts... ive used gripfill for a while now.... think ill change!
missed the summary in the description! thanks!
Yeah, sorry I could not fit the summary in the video, so I put it in the video description section, but then I forgot to add the annotation to tell people (which I added a few minutes after the video went live).
Thanks for the comments ;-)
So what's the best way to remove this stuff cleanly without a 642 PSI hydraulic ram? I want to build some integrated wardrobes, cupboards and drawers in my bedroom. I was originally going to use wall plugs to hold my 2x2 framing timber to the plastered brick walls, but it's not gone well, so I'm now looking into construction adhesives instead. However I don't want to put use it if removing the units at a later date will wreck the wall.
Some people say to use white spirit, others say to use an electric heat gun. Some even say even say it'll never come off, and replastering the entire wall will be the only option. I want to plan ahead before diving right in. Since the wall plugs idea that I thought was a sure thing hasn't worked right.
No idea, sorry.
I only use grab adhesive for permanent fixtures. I have never had to remove any!
great video , any advice on contact adhesive,
I normally just use Evo stick as it seems to work well.Thanks for the comment
wish i knew about pinkfix years ago when i used to stick modified car panels on.
Absolutely.
Thanks for the comment
grip fill needs put on and took off then put on again, that's how I use it anyway.
Interesting, but Inconclusive! I think you need to use standardised tests, some of those bricks clearly had more adhesive on than others, and you need to standardise how hard/long they're pressed on before the test begins,.
Equal amounts of adhesive, equal pressure for equal time, then start the timer, too much glue is sometimes detrimental, especially for 'grab' adhesives,
(I've used 'pink grip' before, it's bloody good, goes off in the tube a bit quick though, so only buy what you need, even sealed tubes can go off within a year, cardboard see, maybe you could spray them with a sealant tho?) ☺
Great video. I always knew NMN was rubbish, now it's Ultimate Handyman proven!!
Pinkgrip is a third of the cost of some of those other adhesives.
Will you be doing any testing in wet conditions?
I had not planned to and I'm not sure if all of the adhesives claim to work in wet conditions but I'll look into it in future.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
What do the psi stands for in relation to kg? For example how much weight can it hold up on a wall?
It's hard to say, as there are so many variables.
But obviously, the more PSI it takes to break the bond- the stronger it is.
Thanks for the comment 👍
lovely experiment.
would be great to all the the b results on a screen at the end ranking the best on top.
I put all of the results including the price paid in the video description field.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
+Ultimate Handyman
oh yes you did.
apologies.
keep up the good work. literally it is invaluable.
No problem ;-)
I need to put up a wooden curtain rod, 8ft long I screwed it into a plaster wall already and it fell down after 3 months, I couldn't screw it in properly as the plaster is too crumbly, it's a council house built in 1968 and there is a big gap between the plaster and metal lintel. I was thinking of grip fill in the screw holes and push in the wall plugs let in cure for 24 hours then put up the pole? what do u think and any advice would be welcome
That might work, but what I normally do is screw a wooden batten (2" by 1") to the wall first (this can also be glued with Grip fill etc.).
It's much easier fixing a curtain rail to the wooden batten as you can put the screws anywhere.
Ok Cheers thanks, keep up the good work
Did you not put way too much on the bricks?
I tried to apply the same amount of adhesive that was applied in the original "maximum torque challenge" video. To do that I cut all of the nozzles to the same length, but some of the adhesives are thinner than others so its difficult to control the amount of adhesive that come out of the tube. You can see my version of the maximum torque challenge here-
czcams.com/video/9XgDvYsJiB8/video.html
a summary is essential for this video.
The info is in the description ;-)
Thanks for the comment
Great video, I have to say pink grip looks decent. I've not heard of some of these makes, are they popular in the trade? I know gripfill is big.
I'm not sure to be honest.
I picked up a few tubes from screwfix and B&Q and some of the others were recommended by people that watched my previous videos on this subject.
At least people can now make more informed decisions rather than watching videos made by the adhesive manufacturers (who are not always truthful).
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Hello, I need to use it for a wall hanger, do I need to look at the pinkgrip because of the first part of the video, or the one with higher pressure value (CT1 or Geocel)
I'm not sure what you mean exactly by a wall hanger, but one of the best adhesives is the Nemesis, sold at screwfix (assuming you are in the UK)
A coat hooks wall mounted, like this one. cdn.notonthehighstreet.com/system/product_images/images/001/835/266/original_limited-edition-reclaimed-bowler-hat-and-coat-hook.jpg
If you are in the UK I would try Nemesis from Screwfix.
Failing that CT1 or Geocel should do the trick ;-)
would be good if you had done a test on blocks with say 2x nails or 2 x screws to compare the pressure they take
I'll try to include that next time ;-)
Thanks for the comment
What would you recommend for skirts.
The Nemesis brand from screwfix is good, I used that in previous tests-
czcams.com/video/9XgDvYsJiB8/video.html
czcams.com/video/80pC1-eJFj0/video.html
I watched the above video after searching on Google for something to fix a tricky situation ...
One night last week my wife heard a clatter downstairs, and as she thought we were being burgled she awakened me. On inspection a complete length of 4 metre Gyproc coving had left the ceiling and decided it didn't want to play anymore. It was in good condition, unbroken and lying on the floor. On further inspection behind it in the coving recess were some telephone cables whereby the former house owner had clearly removed the coving and hidden wires behind it, you could see where he had applied a product (unknown) from a gun to the cove.
My problem was that the coving was considerably heavier than it would have been because of the original Gyproc cement application, thus I needed something trustworthy to hold the cove up ... as I was only going to get one chance at it, otherwise it meant buying a load of Gyproc coving just for one piece. I went with your recommendation and bought Nemesis ... and glad I did.
I did the preperation of cleaning everything down and removing crusty bits and got it totally dust-free, both cove and wall. I applied the Nemesis to the wall and ceiling to align with the coving flats and applied it, with the help of my wife. I even had nails and hammer ready to underpin it ... but wasn't needed. It immediately attached itself to the substrates and stayed there with no support or aids .... and as said it was quite heavy with the original cement attached, which was immovable without damaging the cornice piece. Many thanks for the video and recommendation, saved me pounds and hours of messing about. 24 hours later it was bonded, caulked and made good with a following coat of emulsion, and as if it never happened. Good stuff, thanks again.
The Nemesis is great and very inexpensive.
I have just tested several more brands, which I'll upload once I get chance to edit the video.
Thanks for the comment
Great stuff,thanks! CT1 for me, or is it Pinkgrip or...
I don't use grab adhesives much but I normally get Nemesis from screwfix as it is one of the best performing ones and one of the least expensive.
Hi can u recommend a good grab adhesive for sticking wood to fibreglass ? it's an interior of a yacht and I need to fix timber batterns and can't screw it for obvious reasons
I have never tested any grab adhesive on fibreglass. I tend to use the Nemesis brand from Screwfix though, I used it a few months back to glue the milk holder door back into the fridge- it worked perfectly, even though epoxy would not hold it.
Who actually makes nemesis adhesive for screwfix ?
Not sure as it's their own brand which I think is exclusive to them.
Someone said it was made by Dow Corning, but I do not know if that is true or not.
It's brilliant stuff though (I'm not on commission either)
How many of the adhesives failed due to the plywood delamination as opposed to the adhesive failing?
I think just one of them managed to delaminate the plywood, which was the last one tested at over 600PSI
I have tried repeating this test using metal on metal but it just does not work as none of the grab adhesives I tried worked well on metal and most could be removed easily.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
I always got on well with Sticks like S***t. Tried pink grip on recommendation from a builder and found it terrible! Been using Toolstations Instant Nails lately and its pretty good and only £1 ! Without your vids I wouldn't be in business, cheers!
The sticks like sh*t did not perform well on my previous tests but as long as it worked for you, that's all that matters-

I have not tried the toolstation instant nails but I'll try and get some in future ;-)Thanks for the comment ;-)
i am confused that Adiseal did not perform in this video as well as it did in the previous video when on the shear test it outperformed the hydraulic ram.
Adiseal improved their formula, in the second video using Adiseal it was the new/improved version
Thanks for the comment
Actually looks like it's the ply that failed with the CT1. Great videos, keep them coming.
Yes, that is correct. There is no disputing the bonding power of the C-T-1, it reminded me of the Nemesis in the previous test which split the piece of wood in two!.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
@@ultimatehandyman that CT1 is good stuff, generally use that or Pink Grip every time. Just used the CT1 to stick AluSpalsh round a kitchen. Had a bit of overspill come through into the Patress cutouts, spark said it was a bitch to get off! On the other hand I noticed you mentioned Nemesis products, I've used their caulk on the past jobs and I can't seem to beat it. Polycell caulk I find is pants, shrinks alot and until bind isn't great. A good vote for Nemesis from me.
Sheilas Wheels has surprised me.The Mrs said get Pink grip I said bugger off.Now eating lots of humble pie.
Interesting video 👍👍👍
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Hi it looks as though some are not too good at grab or grip, some are better at grab and some at grip. You say your favourite is Screwfix nemesis I assume because it has good initial grab and good grip? This is the sort of information that can make jobs easy and even if the product costs more to buy can save money in the long run. Thank you your tests are a real help.
Hi Stuart, yes that is correct- some are good at initial grab and some are good at bonding, the nemesis was very good at both, which can be seen in these two videos-czcams.com/video/9XgDvYsJiB8/video.html
czcams.com/video/80pC1-eJFj0/video.html
I'm glad you find the video's useful!
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Odd question do you think any would be any good as a walk over glue trap for a rat....obviously it would have to stay mega tacky to touch
No, I don't think any would work. The adhesive will also cure quite quickly.
Perhaps you could try Mammoth tape- that stuff is as sticky as hell ;-)
I can't seem to get any grab at all between two small pieces of wood using No More Nails. Neither could it hold a small strip of cardboard to the wall! Can this be a faulty tube?
It could be due to temperature.
Most adhesives don't work well if it is cold.
do u think this stuff will hold a tap to a bath? i cant get the nut on under the bath as it impossible to get to without going thru the external wall
Yes, providing you leave it long enough to cure before moving it.
Adiseal would be my preferred brand.
@@ultimatehandyman great .thank you.i can get all the pipes connected but no way can i get under to even undo the old nut im goint to have to hacksaw the old tap off from the top its been on since the 50s
Put a summary up at the end.
The world needs more grab adhesive brands
It needs less, just like plasterboard fixings- there are far too many!
Thanks for the comment ;-)
@@ultimatehandyman I was being sarcastic
@@Professional_CZcams_Commenter 😂😂😂
Sorry, it's too early ;-)
is epoxy better than this stuff for putting up a shower curtain rail and blinds?
Not sure as I have not tested epoxy yet. I think it would be stronger but will not have any grab.
black mastique has always been a crap glue ,but its awesome for long time setting
Black always seems more difficult to clean up afterwards for some reason!
Thanks for the comment ;-)
is the strength of these adhesives not influenced more by the strength of the bonding surface to the sublayer?
Yes, of course but when grab adhesive is used in real life you often end up sticking to a surface that you do not know how strong it is.
I'm going to repeat this test using the same adhesives using metal in the next few weeks (when I get time).
Thanks for the comment
Ultimate Handyman Great. I look forward to your videos.
very useful video. i like them...
Thanks for the comment
I have the same chaulk gun , seems to be the only one that can handle cold adhesives
Yes, its a very good gun.Thanks for the comment
CT1 proving why it's the best.
👍
How much did it cost you to make this video?
It cost about £60 for the materials and probably took me half a day to film and a day and a half to edit the video.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
some one like channel 4 or 5 hire this channel it's got useful info and all main stations have nothing on them to watch....until you hire + ultimate handyman that is. great just like the others
Thanks for the comment ;-)
I use pink grip which is a cheap one at £3.00 a tube. Like the look of ct1 although I think that’s around £11.00 . Interesting to see the way too much comments, I,m probably doing the same. Great test though thanks for that.
Pink Grip is fine for most jobs and much cheaper than some of the other brands.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Should do another vid. With the board flat and stick them all on then lift board and have really slow brick race.
If only I had the time ;-)
Thanks for the comment
@@ultimatehandyman or the money. Them tubes are expensive
Yes, I think I spent about £90 the last time I did a test like this!
great test. its great for a trades man that cant do the test them selves. im shocked with the pink grip. I never got good results with ithave you tried tech 7 , I would like to see a test like this but trying to find the best amount of glue to use. I would guess that if you used a smaller bead of the runnier adhesives you might get less slump
Thanks, I used that amount of adhesive as that is similar to what they used in the "maximum torque challenge", which is what I recreated- but with different results. I have never heard of Tech 7 but will look out for it.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
im in Ireland . we have tech 7. it is similar to ct1. I find tech 7 a lot better. they have brought out a new tech 7 that is a lot thicker and is more of an adhesive rather than silicone . I only used it once to stick a few loose slates on an old house. it is some tack . I stuck the loose slate and couldn't move the loose slate once I got it in place. I must try it someday on something and see if I can break the joint
Thanks, I think I have seen it on ebay. If I do further tests I'll be sure to pick some up ;-)
