FAQ

How long does it take to dry?

Initial grab is immediate, but full bond strength develops over time. Heavy items may need temporary support while the adhesive fully cures.

Is it safe to use indoors?

Yes, it's completely safe for indoor use. The formula is solvent-free and
environmentally friendly, making it ideal for indoor applications.

How do I clean up if I make a mess?

Simply clean with water while the adhesive is still wet. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any excess.

Can I use it on damp surfaces?

Yes, Sika® Gun A Nail® can be used on damp wood, plaster, and brick surfaces. However, surfaces should not be running wet.

What surfaces can I use Sika® Gun A Nail® on?

Sika® Gun A Nail® works on most common building materials where at least one surface is porous. Ideal for wood, plaster, brick, and many other building materials.
Note: Do not use where both surfaces are non-porous (e.g., metal to metal or plastic to plastic).
