COVE­MATE is a solvent­free, quick grab, interior coving and decorating adhesive. It replaces mechanical fixings in a multitude of home improvement applications. Dries to a white finish and can be over painted once dry. Bond It COVE­MATE is ideal for fixing polystyrene and PU covings, skirting boards, architraves and dado rails, etc. It can be used internally on plaster, brick and stone. It is also suitable for bonding work tops to base units and for bonding cork tiles and cork sheet.

Preparation
Ensure all surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry and free from grease, dust or any other contaminants that may hinder adhesion.

Application
Carefully cut the tip off cartridge. Cut nozzle to required width of bead at a 450 angle and attach to the cartridge. Place cartridge in a standard sealant gun. For lightweight items (eg. coving, dado rails and skirting) apply the adhesive to the back of the item in one or two continuous 6mm beads and press immediately into place. For bonding heavy items (eg. plasterboards, work tops and wall panels) apply the adhesive all the way around approx 30­50mm from the edge. Apply adhesive direct to battens also and then press the item in to place. Note: with heavy items we recommend providing temporary support until the adhesive has dried. Clean any excess material with a damp cloth. Full bond strength will be achieved 24­-48 hours after application.

Limitations­

At least one of the surfaces must be porous. ­
Not suitable for polythene, polypropylene, Teflon or nylon. ­
On low porosity surfaces or in damp, cold or humid conditions, curing time may be significantly affected. ­
Only apply between 5 C and 30 C. ­
Not recommended for plaster coving.
