EVO-STIK

EVO-STIK products on this page cover bonding, sealing, gap filling and rigid repair. Epoxy Rapid appears as twin 15ml tubes and a 25ml syringe, both supplying resin and hardener for a mixed two-part bond. Impact Contact Adhesive is listed in a 250ml tin and 30g tube. Sticks Like is a 290ml cartridge adhesive, while the 250ml Wood Adhesive is for supported timber joints. White and clear Multi Purpose Silicone serve flexible sealing, Foam Filler expands into appropriate building gaps, and the 50g Metal Epoxy Putty forms a mouldable rigid repair.

Select the chemistry from the substrates and joint, then check working time, cure, movement, moisture, temperature and finishing requirements on the exact pack. The current AutoMotoPart selection contains 10 EVO-STIK items, led by 10 maintenance entries. These EVO-STIK figures describe the range on this page rather than every product the brand may make elsewhere.

A good bond starts with sound surfaces. Remove oil, dust, loose paint, corrosion and incompatible old sealant; abrade only where the material and instructions allow, then dry and test a hidden area. Plastics, plated metals, rubber, foam and painted finishes can be difficult or solvent-sensitive. Support the assembly so parts align without forcing the adhesive to bridge a structural gap it was not designed to fill.

Mix both epoxy components in the stated ratio and use within the working time; a syringe controls dispensing but does not remove the need for thorough mixing. Contact adhesive is normally applied to both suitable surfaces and joined only after the directed open time, so repositioning may be impossible. Silicone remains flexible but is not a universal structural adhesive or paintable filler. Expanding foam needs controlled application, ventilation and protection of adjacent finishes, skin and eyes. Metal putty cannot restore safety-critical thickness or replace welding specified by a repair procedure. Observe the label, safety data, ventilation, PPE and ignition controls, especially for solvent products. The page below is a neutral guide; current EVO-STIK technical data decides final suitability.

EVO-STIK: understand the range before choosing

EVO-STIK is a Bostik adhesive and sealant range. The current ten-item selection spans five different chemistries and jobs: two-part rapid epoxy, grab adhesive, wood adhesive, solvent contact adhesive, silicone sealant, expanding foam filler and kneadable metal epoxy putty. These are not interchangeable repair products, so the two materials, joint design, movement, temperature and environment must be identified before choosing.

AutoMotoPart currently lists 10 EVO-STIK items. The largest EVO-STIK groups are 10 maintenance entries. EVO-STIK totals can change, so a category count is orientation rather than proof that a particular reference suits a vehicle, workplace or job. The exact EVO-STIK listing, its current technical information and the item in front of you must agree.

What the EVO-STIK page actually covers

Product group in this rangeCurrent entriesSelection focus
Maintenance10Confirm both materials, joint area, load, gap, movement, temperature, moisture, preparation, working time and cure.

All ten entries are grouped as maintenance, but the titles divide into two rapid epoxies, two contact-adhesive packs, two silicone colours and four single-purpose formats. Pack size and delivery alter application control: twin tubes allow separate measuring, a syringe dispenses two parts, tins and tubes suit different contact-adhesive areas, and cartridges require a compatible gun and nozzle.

Build a reliable shortlist

Describe the joint rather than asking for the strongest glue. Rigid epoxy suits some close-fitting repairs; contact adhesive suits supported surface bonds; wood adhesive depends on timber fit and clamping; silicone accommodates movement in a seal; foam fills selected voids; and metal putty is shaped before it hardens. None is automatically correct for load-bearing or safety-critical work.

CheckWhy it mattersUseful evidence
SubstratesAdhesion and solvent response vary by metal, timber, plastic, rubber and coatingExact material names and hidden compatibility test
Joint designPeel, shear, vibration and movement load adhesives differentlyBond area, gap, support and expected movement

ApplicationMixing, open time, clamping, tooling and expansion differExact pack directions and required equipment
CureHandling strength is not necessarily full service strengthTemperature, humidity, cure time and load restriction
Repair limitAdhesive cannot restore every structural or regulated componentOriginal repair method and competent inspection

If the material is unknown, the joint carries occupants or controls, or failure could release a part into traffic or machinery, obtain the original repair specification. Do not rely on a generic high-strength description where a mechanical fixing, welding or approved structural system is required.

Epoxy Rapid tubes and syringe

EVO-STIK Epoxy Rapid is a solvent-free two-part adhesive in separate tubes or a dual syringe. Dispense equal or otherwise instructed proportions onto a disposable compatible surface, mix until uniform and apply within the stated working period. Cap each tube correctly to avoid cross-contamination, and do not use a partly blocked syringe that delivers visibly unequal streams.

Close-fitting clean surfaces give more predictable results than thick uncontrolled layers. Hold alignment with tape, clamps or a jig that will not starve the joint, and leave it undisturbed for the directed cure. Low temperature can slow curing. Dispose of mixed residue only after following the safety information, because curing epoxy can generate heat in a concentrated mass.

Impact contact adhesive and Sticks Like

Impact Contact Adhesive in tin or tube is a solvent-borne contact system. Apply the stated coat to each suitable surface, allow the specified solvent evaporation or tack period, then align accurately before contact. Press over the complete area because the initial grab limits correction. Use strong ventilation and keep away from flames, sparks, smoking and hot work.

Sticks Like cartridge adhesive is a grab format with a different cure and substrate list. Cut the nozzle for the required bead, use a sound cartridge gun and support heavy or springing pieces for the full instructed period. A high initial grab does not prove a joint can carry an overhead, dynamic or safety load, and excess bead thickness can delay curing.

Wood adhesive and silicone sealants

Wood Adhesive is selected through timber type, moisture, joint fit and interior or exterior exposure. Plane or sand mating faces where needed, remove dust, spread the stated amount and clamp evenly without distorting the work. End grain and oily timber may need different preparation. Do not infer weather resistance from the word wood; use the exact 250ml product data.

White and clear Multi Purpose Silicone share a family but differ visually. Remove failed sealant completely, clean and dry the joint, use backing material where required and tool within the skin time. Maintain the specified bead geometry so movement is accommodated. Silicone is generally difficult to paint, and residue can prevent later coatings or adhesives from bonding.

Foam filler and metal epoxy putty

The 750ml Foam Filler expands, so protect the work area and apply only the directed amount to a suitable gap. Check whether surfaces should be dampened, shake and orient the can as instructed, and provide ventilation. Keep uncured foam off skin, eyes, clothing, vehicles, wiring and moving parts; cured excess must be trimmed without damaging hidden services.

Metal Epoxy Putty is kneaded until its components are uniform, then pressed into a prepared supported repair before the working time ends. Gloves, clean metal and removal of corrosion or grease are important. It does not recreate engineering properties of missing metal and must not be used for pressurised, braking, steering, suspension, fuel or structural repair without explicit technical approval.

Cure, inspection and safe removal

Keep joints unloaded through the stated cure and account for temperature and humidity. Inspect for incomplete wetting, voids, soft epoxy, adhesive transfer, foam movement and silicone separation. A bond that feels firm at an edge may remain uncured beneath a thick bead or between non-porous surfaces.

Remove excess only by the product's supported wet or cured method. Solvent used indiscriminately can spread adhesive, attack plastics or create vapour hazards. If a repair must be dismantled, protect the underlying surface and avoid uncontrolled heat or cutting. Record the product and cure date for later inspection or refinishing.

From identification to a checked result

StageGood practice for this rangeMistake to avoid
DefineIdentify substrates, joint load, gap, movement and environmentChoosing the strongest-sounding pack
PrepareClean, dry, test and arrange clamps, gun or mixing toolsBonding over grease, rust or old silicone
ApplyMix, coat, wait, bead, tool or knead exactly as directedTransferring one chemistry's method to another
CureHold alignment and protect from load, moisture and temperature extremesTesting strength before full cure
VerifyInspect bond, seal, expansion and surrounding materialsAssuming initial grab proves structural suitability

Retain the EVO-STIK pack, product code and technical data until the joint has fully cured and passed inspection. Note substrate preparation, mix or open time, clamping and cure conditions. This makes later failure analysis safer than identifying the product only as glue or silicone.

Reading real EVO-STIK references

The EVO-STIK names below are examples from the current range and show why the complete description matters. They are not universal EVO-STIK recommendations and should not be treated as a fitment list. Within EVO-STIK, a shared family word can conceal a different dimension, connector, material, pack format, operating condition or installation side.

EVO-STIK questions and answers

Q: What EVO-STIK products are on this page?

A: The range includes rapid epoxy, contact and grab adhesives, wood glue, silicone, expanding foam and metal putty.

Q: Are the Epoxy Rapid tubes and syringe different adhesives?

A: They are the same named family in different dispensing formats; follow the exact pack's mix and working instructions.

Q: Does rapid epoxy need mixing?

A: Yes. Resin and hardener must be dispensed in the stated ratio and mixed uniformly.

Q: Can epoxy fill any size gap?

A: No. Joint gap and layer thickness must remain within the exact product and repair design.

Q: How is contact adhesive applied?

A: It normally coats both suitable surfaces, uses a directed open time and bonds on accurate contact.

Q: Can a contact bond be repositioned?

A: Usually very little, so dry-fit and align before the coated surfaces touch.

Q: Is Sticks Like suitable for unsupported heavy items?

A: Only where the exact technical data and fixing design permit it; temporary support may still be required.

Q: Can Multi Purpose Silicone be painted?

A: Do not assume so; silicone commonly resists paint and can contaminate adjacent finishing work.

Q: Does foam filler stop expanding immediately?

A: No. Apply only through its expansion guidance and keep it away from mechanisms and hidden services.

Q: Can metal putty repair a brake or suspension part?

A: Not without explicit approved repair data; safety-critical metal loss generally needs a specified mechanical repair.

Q: When can an adhesive joint be loaded?

A: After the exact full-cure period under the stated temperature and humidity conditions.

Q: What should be recorded?

A: Product code, substrates, preparation, application time, clamp or support and cure conditions.
