BOSTIK
Bostik on AutoMotoPart is a ten-product repair and fixing range. Three superglues comprise a 3g liquid tube, 3g non-drip gel and 5g easy-flow bottle. Specialist 20ml tubes cover Soft Plastics, Hard Plastics and All Purpose adhesive. EVO-STIK Impact contact adhesive appears in 30g and 65g tubes plus a 500ml Impact Contact tin. A Blu Tack Handy Pack provides a removable, reusable fixing option for light items rather than a permanent structural bond.
Choose from the two materials, surface shape, required flexibility, moisture and temperature exposure, assembly time and whether the repair must later be repositioned or dismantled. The current AutoMotoPart selection contains 10 Bostik items, led by 7 maintenance entries, 1 bostik superglue bottle 5g entry, 1 bostik superglue gel 3g entry, 1 bostik superglue tube 3g entry. These Bostik figures describe the range on this page rather than every product the brand may make elsewhere.
Bostik identifies its traditional liquid and gel superglues as ethyl cyanoacrylate. The low-viscosity liquid flows into close horizontal fractures, whereas gel gives more control on vertical or porous areas. Hard Plastics Adhesive is intended for specified rigid plastics such as PVC-U, ABS and high-impact polystyrene; Soft Plastics Adhesive is formulated for flexible PVC, polyurethane and certain rubbers. All Purpose is a solvent-borne clear multipurpose product. EVO-STIK Impact is a contact adhesive applied to the mating faces and aligned accurately before they touch, because the bond forms immediately. Blu Tack is for temporary light fixing on suitable non-porous surfaces and can mark some finishes.
Read the current technical and safety sheets before use. Identify plastics rather than judging hardness by touch, and test sensitive surfaces. Clean and dry both faces, ventilate solvented products, protect eyes and skin and keep adhesives away from children, flames and vehicle controls. Cyanoacrylate bonds skin in seconds; do not pull joined fingers apart or use solvent near eyes. Never use a household adhesive for safety-critical, load-bearing, fuel, brake, airbag, seat-belt, hot-engine, food-contact or potable-water work without explicit approval. Observe open time, contact time and full cure, support the repair as instructed and dispose of uncured residue safely.

Bostik: understand the range before choosing
Bostik supplies consumer and industrial adhesive technologies, with EVO-STIK included in its UK consumer offering. The AutoMotoPart selection spans fast-curing cyanoacrylate superglues, solvented all-purpose and specialist plastic adhesives, EVO-STIK contact adhesive and reusable Blu Tack. These chemistries bond differently and are not generic substitutes for one another.
AutoMotoPart currently lists 10 Bostik items. The largest Bostik groups are 7 maintenance entries, 1 bostik superglue bottle 5g entry, 1 bostik superglue gel 3g entry, 1 bostik superglue tube 3g entry. Bostik totals can change, so a category count is orientation rather than proof that a particular reference suits a vehicle, workplace or job. The exact Bostik listing, its current technical information and the item in front of you must agree.
What the Bostik page actually covers
| Product group in this range | Current entries | Selection focus |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | 7 | Use 3g liquid superglue for close-fitting repairs where a low-viscosity adhesive can be controlled. |
| BOSTIK SUPERGLUE BOTTLE 5G | 1 | Select 3g gel where a non-drip application is preferable on a vertical or more porous surface. |
| BOSTIK SUPERGLUE GEL 3G | 1 | Choose the 5g bottle for controlled easy-flow dispensing, not because more adhesive creates a stronger joint. |
| BOSTIK SUPERGLUE TUBE 3G | 1 | Separate Soft Plastics from Hard Plastics Adhesive by identified polymer and required bond flexibility. |
The ten-item page contains three cyanoacrylate superglues, three specialist or all-purpose 20ml solvented adhesives, three EVO-STIK Impact contact-adhesive packs and one reusable tack. Tube, bottle and tin formats affect dispensing but do not alone identify chemistry. The complete product name and material list control selection.
Build a reliable shortlist
Name both substrates as precisely as possible. For plastic, look for a moulded recycling or polymer code and verify whether it is rigid, flexible, low-surface-energy or plasticised. Record joint gap, area, load direction, heat, water, vibration and required working time before comparing Bostik guidance.
| Check | Why it matters | Useful evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry | Cyanoacrylate, contact, solvented multipurpose and reusable tack cure differently | Full Bostik or EVO-STIK name and current technical sheet |
| Materials | A product suitable for rigid PVC may not bond flexible or low-energy plastic | Identification of both clean substrates |
| Joint geometry | Thin liquid, gel and contact film suit different gaps and orientations | Gap size, vertical or horizontal position and bond area |
| Service exposure | Water, heat, fuel, oil, UV and flexing affect durability | Real operating conditions and published limitations |
| Assembly time | Instant contact and cyanoacrylate leave little alignment opportunity | Open time, repositioning need and clamping method |
| Safety role | A successful cosmetic bond may still be unsafe under structural load | Component consequence, maker repair method and competent assessment |
Avoid bonding unknown plastic until it is identified. Polyethylene, polypropylene, silicone and heavily plasticised materials can resist common adhesives or need special preparation. A hidden test can reveal surface damage but does not prove long-term structural performance.
Liquid, gel and bottle superglues
The three Bostik superglue products share cyanoacrylate chemistry but use different delivery formats. A liquid tube or easy-flow bottle can penetrate a fine, close-fitting horizontal fracture; the gel is thicker and less likely to run on vertical or porous work. None is a gap-filling structural resin. The smallest controlled amount generally cures more reliably than flooding the joint.
Dry-fit parts and arrange alignment before opening. Protect the bench and point the nozzle away from the face. Apply to one surface as directed, join immediately and hold for the specified set time without adjusting. Moisture triggers cyanoacrylate cure, including moisture on skin and eyes, so avoid contact. Prevent cotton or wool contacting spills because some cyanoacrylates can react strongly with cellulose material.
Hard and Soft Plastics Adhesives
Bostik Hard Plastics Adhesive is documented for identified rigid materials including PVC-U, ABS and high-impact polystyrene, with other listed substrates subject to its instructions. Soft Plastics Adhesive is a flexible-repair product for flexible PVC, polyurethane and specified rubbers and may be supplied with repair patch material. The words hard and soft describe application families, not a complete compatibility test.
Clean away grease and release agents and abrade only where the technical sheet instructs. Apply the defined film to one or both surfaces, respect the waiting period and press with accurate alignment. Soft-plastic repairs need the patch shape, corner radius, overlap and full-strength time specified. Do not use either adhesive on pressurised inflatables, safety equipment or a fluid system merely because the base polymer seems similar.
All Purpose and EVO-STIK Impact
Bostik All Purpose is a clear solvent-borne adhesive for a broad published material list. Its method changes between hard non-absorbent and absorbent surfaces: the former may require adhesive on both faces and a drying period, while the latter can use a different assembly sequence. Consult the current sheet instead of applying one generic method to every repair.
EVO-STIK Impact is a contact adhesive sold here in two tubes and a 500ml tin. Contact adhesive is normally spread as an even film on both prepared faces and allowed to reach its stated condition before joining. Once the coated surfaces touch, repositioning is limited or impossible, so use guides or spacers for large laminates. Ventilate solvent vapour and keep ignition sources away as required by the label and safety data.
Blu Tack temporary fixing
Blu Tack Handy is a reusable pressure-sensitive tack rather than a curing repair adhesive. Bostik recommends clean, dry, non-porous surfaces for typical light-duty use. Knead a suitable amount, press between the item and surface and distribute the load. It is not designed for heavy, valuable or safety-critical objects or for a location where falling could distract a driver.
The adhesive effect can increase over time and an oily mark can remain on some surfaces. Avoid absorbent, delicate, recently decorated or heat-sensitive finishes and conduct an inconspicuous test. Remove by rolling gently rather than pulling paint outward, then use a fresh piece to lift fragments. In a vehicle, keep it off airbags, pedals, displays, sensors, vents and controls.
Preparation, cure and safe removal
A bond is only as sound as its surfaces. Remove failed adhesive without gouging the substrate, degrease with a compatible product and allow full drying. Check joint fit before applying adhesive and provide clamping or pressure exactly as directed. Temperature and humidity alter open time and cure, so avoid improvising with heaters or excessive adhesive.
Keep the original container and safety information until the repair is complete. Cap nozzles promptly and store upright within the stated temperature range. If skin is bonded, use the first-aid method on the product information and seek medical help for eyes, mouth or persistent injury; never force tissue apart. Solvents such as acetone can damage plastics, coatings and skin, so test materials and follow specific removal guidance.
From identification to a checked result
| Stage | Good practice for this range | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Identify | Name both materials, load, environment, joint gap and safety consequence | Choosing a glue only from pack size |
| Select | Match chemistry, viscosity, flexibility, open time and limitations | Using superglue for every plastic repair |
| Prepare | Dry-fit, clean, dry, protect surroundings and ventilate | Applying over grease or release agent |
| Bond | Use the stated film, timing, alignment, pressure and cure | Flooding a joint or repositioning contact adhesive |
| Verify | Inspect after full cure and reject unsafe or incomplete repairs | Loading the part as soon as it feels dry |
Label repaired items with the adhesive and cure date where future service depends on knowing what was used. Retain polymer identification and preparation notes; they are valuable if a bond later needs removal or a more specialised repair.
Reading real Bostik references
The Bostik names below are examples from the current range and show why the complete description matters. They are not universal Bostik recommendations and should not be treated as a fitment list. Within Bostik, a shared family word can conceal a different dimension, connector, material, pack format, operating condition or installation side.
| Example listing | What to verify beyond the name |
|---|---|
| Bostik 30624386 BOSTIK SUPERGLUE TUBE 3G | Bostik or EVO-STIK full product name, chemistry, viscosity and pack |
| Bostik 30624387 BOSTIK SUPERGLUE GEL 3G | Both substrate materials, surface condition, gap and required flexibility |
| Bostik 30624388 BOSTIK SUPERGLUE BOTTLE 5G | Open, contact, handling and full-cure times at working conditions |
| Soft Plastics Adhesive - 20ml Tube | Water, heat, chemical, load and safety-critical limitations |
| Evostick Impact - 30g Tube | Bostik or EVO-STIK full product name, chemistry, viscosity and pack |
| Evostick Impact - 65g Tube | Both substrate materials, surface condition, gap and required flexibility |
| Blu-Tack Handy Pack | Open, contact, handling and full-cure times at working conditions |
| All Purpose Adhesive - 20ml Tube | Water, heat, chemical, load and safety-critical limitations |
The three superglues differ by flow and package; Impact differs fundamentally from All Purpose; and Hard and Soft Plastics products cover different polymers. Keep the full title attached to the repair plan rather than referring only to glue.
Common errors around Bostik products
- Using cyanoacrylate on an unknown plastic or a joint needing movement and gap filling.
- Applying gel and low-viscosity liquid as though they behave identically on a vertical surface.
- Choosing Hard or Soft Plastics Adhesive without identifying the polymer.
- Joining EVO-STIK Impact-coated faces before alignment has been planned.
- Using solvented adhesive without ventilation or near an ignition source.
- Loading a repair before the published full-cure or maximum-strength time.
- Using Blu Tack for a heavy object or on a surface vulnerable to oil marking.
- Repairing a brake, restraint, airbag, fuel or other safety-critical component without explicit approval.
