FAQ

How long do I have to work with the mixed product before it starts to harden?

The working time for Selleys Liquid Nails VBS is approximately 20-30 minutes once the mixed product has been poured out onto the slab. Keep in mind that factors such as temperature can affect this timeframe, with warmer conditions potentially shortening the working time. It’s best to mix only the amount you can apply within that window to avoid wasting material.

How long does it take for the vapour barrier to fully cure?

Under normal conditions (around 25°C), Selleys Liquid Nails VBS typically cures enough to be walked on, re-coated, or adhered to in 8-12 hours. Lower temperatures may extend the cure time, so ensure adequate ventilation and warmth for optimal results. Always check the surface for tackiness before proceeding with subsequent steps.

What is the coverage area I can expect from one liter of Selleys Liquid Nails VBS?

You can expect approximately 6 square meters of coverage per liter of Selleys Liquid Nails VBS. This coverage rate can vary depending on the porosity and texture of the substrate you are applying it to. Porous surfaces may require a second coat to achieve a proper vapour barrier, so plan accordingly.
