Product Intelligence
Selleys Liquid Nails Fast Grab Construction Adhesive
Overview
Selleys Liquid Nails Fast Grab is a high-strength, water-based construction adhesive manufactured by Selleys Pty Ltd. It is specifically engineered to provide strong initial holding power, making it ideal for vertical applications and situations where traditional fastening methods cannot be used.
Key Features
Selleys Liquid Nails Fast Grab delivers several distinctive benefits for construction and bonding applications:
- Strong Initial Grab: Up to 100 kg/m² instant grab strength, enabling fast assembly without requiring immediate clamping
- High Strength: Holds up to 500 tonnes/m² after 7 days, meeting AS 2329-1999E standards for tensile shear strength greater than 1.5 MPa
- Water-Based Formulation: Low odour characteristics make it ideal for indoor applications
- Easy Water Cleanup: Uncured product can be readily removed with water, eliminating the need for harsh chemical solvents
- No Drip, Sag or Stringing: Maintains clean application without material displacement during installation
- Paintable: Surface becomes paintable after 12 hours of curing
- Gap Bridging: Bridges gaps up to 9mm between surfaces
- Flexible Bond: Provides flexibility to accommodate building movement and structural shifts

- Finishing Elements: Skirting, cornices, architraves
- Other Substrates: Plastics (with pre-testing), some rubbers (with pre-testing), tiles, ceramics
Specific Applications
The adhesive is particularly well-suited for:
- Vertical jobs where fasteners cannot be used
- Floating desk assemblies requiring secure, immediate adhesion
- Cornice installation using caulking gun application
- Interior finishing such as skirting board installation
- Polystyrene-to-wood bonding applications
Limitations & Restrictions
- Not suitable for: Polyethylene, polypropylene, PTFE (Teflon), and mirrors
- Not recommended for: Metals heated by direct sunlight (bonds weaken at higher temperatures; use Liquid Nails Mirror & Metal instead)
- Application restrictions: Avoid use in tightly clamped joints such as cabinet making or joinery
- Structural bonding: Do not use as the sole bonding agent for structural bonding
- Environmental: Suitable for interior and sheltered exterior applications protected from moisture only
