Plywood, MDF, particle board and block board are built differently, and each presents a different surface to an adhesive. Before choosing a product, it helps to be clear about the conditions the finished piece will face.

Questions to ask

  • Will the joint be exposed to water or high humidity?
  • Does the application need a fast setting time?
  • Is there a standard the customer expects, such as EN 204 D3?
  • What volume will you use — is a larger pack more practical?

The answers narrow the choice quickly. When in doubt, share your application details with the manufacturer's technical team.
