Work Safely: This Product Is Classified DANGER Selleys Liquid Nails Heavy Duty is hazardous according to health criteria of Safe Work Australia. The signal word is DANGER — the highest GHS signal word. This product carries five hazard statements: CodeStatementWhat This MeansH225Highly flammable liquid and vapourFlash point is -12°C. Product will ignite well below freezing. Vapour is explosive in air.H315Causes skin irritationDirect contact irritates skin. Wear overalls and gloves.H319Causes serious eye irritationExposure causes reversible eye damage. Wear safety glasses.H336May cause drowsiness or dizzinessInhaling vapour causes CNS depression. High concentrations cause loss of co-ordination, impaired judgement, and unconsciousness.H372Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposureSTOT-RE Category 1 — the most severe repeated-exposure classification. Prolonged or repeated overexposure causes organ damage. The product is classified Dangerous Goods Class 3 Flammable Liquid (UN 1133, Packing Group III, Hazchem •3Y).

Understand the Flammability Hazard This is the most critical safety consideration for this product. With a flash point of -12°C, the adhesive produces ignitable vapour at all normal working temperatures. The vapour is heavier than air and will accumulate in low-lying areas, hollows, and sumps. Vapour may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. This means an ignition source across the room — or even in an adjacent space — can ignite vapour that has drifted along the floor from the application area. Mandatory ignition controls:

P210: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. No smoking. P240: Ground and bond container and receiving equipment P241: Use explosion-proof electrical, ventilating, lighting, and all other equipment P242: Use non-sparking tools P243: Take action to prevent static discharges Flameproof equipment is necessary in the area where this product is being used Nearby equipment must be earthed Electrical requirements should be assessed according to AS3000 All potential sources of ignition (open flames, pilot lights, furnaces, spark-producing switches and electrical equipment) must be eliminated both in and near the work area Do NOT enter confined spaces where vapour may have collected

Vapour prevention: Prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure Standards. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Fire extinguishing: Use alcohol resistant foam or dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder). Heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Keep containers cool with water spray. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. Store away from sources of heat and ignition. Store locked up. Keep container standing upright. Keep containers closed when not in use.

Protect Yourself with the Required PPE The required personal protection equipment is: SAFETY SHOES, OVERALLS, GLOVES, SAFETY GLASSES, RESPIRATOR. Respirator: Organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. This is mandatory for this product due to H336 (drowsiness/dizziness from vapour) and H372 (organ damage from prolonged/repeated exposure). Use with adequate ventilation. Gloves: Nitrile rubber gloves should be suitable for intermittent contact. Due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, make a final assessment based on your situation. Safety glasses: The product is classified Eye Damage/Irritation Category 2A (H319 serious eye irritation). Overalls and safety shoes: Full body coverage minimises skin contact (H315 skin irritation). Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using. Hygiene: Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking, or using the toilet. Do not eat, drink, or smoke when using this product. Keep away from food, drink, and animal feeding stuffs. Avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, vapours, or spray. Wash hands, face, and all exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Engineering controls: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure Standards. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Use with local exhaust ventilation. Vapour is heavier than air — prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. Do NOT enter confined spaces where vapour may have collected.

Prepare for Success: Essential Setup Gather your tools, prepare surfaces, and verify ignition controls before opening the adhesive. Essential Equipment:

Caulking gun Utility knife or scissors for cutting the cartridge tip and nozzle Nails, screws, clamps, or bracing materials Clean rags Mineral turpentine for clean-up of uncured adhesive Full PPE: safety shoes, overalls, nitrile rubber gloves, safety glasses, and organic vapour/particulate respirator (AS/NZS 1715 and 1716) Scrap material matching your project substrate for practice beads

Before Opening:

Eliminate ALL ignition sources in and near the work area — pilot lights, open flames, spark-producing switches, electrical equipment not rated explosion-proof Ensure adequate ventilation — use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area Ground and bond container and receiving equipment Have appropriate fire extinguisher on hand (alcohol resistant foam, CO₂, or dry chemical powder)

Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are free from oil, grease, and dust. Wipe off any pooled water from wet timber. Both bonding surfaces must be clean. Use a stiff brush to remove dust from porous surfaces like concrete or masonry. Wipe non-porous surfaces with a clean dry cloth.

Load and Apply

Cut cartridge tip, pierce foil, fit nozzle, and cut to desired opening (5mm). Load the cartridge into the caulking gun nozzle-forward. Squeeze the trigger while pointing at scrap material until adhesive appears at the tip.

Practice your bead on scrap material identical to your project substrate before applying to your actual workpiece. Aim for a consistent bead from the 5mm nozzle opening.

Standard Method: Bead Application

Apply bead along the length of joist, stud, or batten. On broad flat surfaces, apply beads every 40cm. Position pieces and press firmly together. Fix with sufficient nails, screws, or clamping to hold load and achieve contact over the total bond area. Materials are repositionable for up to 20 minutes after fitting — adjust positioning within this window. Allow adhesive to set (minimum 8 hours) before removing any temporary fasteners or clamping. Use with mechanical fasteners in high stress applications.

Key note on the 8-hour specification: Usually mechanical fasteners are only required for 8 hours on porous surfaces. A strong bond is achieved in 24 hours and continues to strengthen for 2-3 days. Full cure is 7 days. Expect longer times for thicker applications.

Contact Bond Method For immediate bond:

Apply adhesive to one surface only. Press surfaces together, then pull apart. Allow surfaces to dry out for 2-4 minutes. Firmly re-join surfaces.

This method provides an immediate bond without the need for mechanical fasteners or clamping during the initial cure period. It is particularly useful for smaller pieces and situations where clamping is impractical.

Flooring Method Use in conjunction with the flooring manufacturer's installation requirements. To eliminate squeaks in tongue and groove flooring, apply a bead of Liquid Nails Heavy Duty into the groove of each board when installing. The adhesive bonds the tongue-and-groove joint, preventing the movement that causes squeaking.

Allow Proper Cure Time StageTimeNotesFastener removal (porous surfaces)8 hours minimumUsually fasteners only required for 8 hours on porous surfacesStrong bond24 hoursBond continues to strengthenContinued strengthening2-3 days—Full cure7 days; full strength 7-10 daysExpect longer for thicker applications Factors that extend cure time: Thicker applications require longer cure times. The product is paintable once fully cured. Important: Do not subject bonds to full structural load before the cure stage appropriate for your application. Use mechanical fasteners in high stress applications.

Clean Up Uncured adhesive: Remove with mineral turpentine. Wipe tools, surfaces, and any squeeze-out promptly while adhesive is still wet. Cured adhesive: Once cured, the adhesive cannot be dissolved. Remove by scraping or sanding. Skin contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing for 15 minutes or until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre. Spill clean-up: Wear protective equipment. For small spills, wipe up with absorbent material (clean rag or paper towels). For large spills, shut off all possible sources of ignition, clear the area of unprotected personnel, and cover with damp absorbent material. Use a spark-free shovel. The product is slippery when spilt.

Know the Limitations Selleys Liquid Nails Heavy Duty has specific limitations that must be respected:

Pre-test plastics to determine compatibility Water resistant, not waterproof — not suitable for areas exposed to constant water Do not use as the sole bonding agent for structural bonding — use with mechanical fasteners in high stress applications Not for mirrors or metals that may be heated by direct sunlight Not recommended for polyethylene, polypropylene, Teflon®, or bitumen Avoid use in tightly clamped joints Expect longer cure times for thicker applications Fastener removal at 8 hours applies to porous surfaces — non-porous surfaces may require longer

Troubleshoot Common Problems Problem: Adhesive won't dispense despite trigger pressure Internal foil seal not punctured. Remove cartridge, ensure foil is pierced, then reload and try again. Problem: Strong solvent odour during application This is normal for a solvent-based product. Ensure you are working outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear your organic vapour/particulate respirator (AS/NZS 1715 and 1716). Do not work in confined spaces where vapour may collect. If you experience drowsiness or dizziness, move to fresh air immediately. Problem: Materials won't stay in position on vertical surfaces Ensure sufficient mechanical fasteners (nails, screws, or clamping) are in place to hold load and achieve contact over the total bond area. The non-slump formulation prevents sagging, but mechanical support is required during the cure period. Remember: repositionable for up to 20 minutes after fitting. Problem: Slow bond development The 8-hour fastener removal specification applies to porous surfaces. Non-porous materials and thicker applications require longer times. A strong bond is achieved in 24 hours, with continued strengthening over 2-3 days and full cure at 7 days. Problem: Bond failure on plastics Pre-test all plastics before committing to your project. Polyethylene, polypropylene, and Teflon® are not compatible. Other plastics vary in compatibility. Problem: White residue or discolouration Ensure surfaces were free from oil, grease, and dust before application. Wipe off any pooled water from wet timber as per surface preparation requirements.
