1 part or 2 part adhesive

[waynestores]

Can someone please tell me what the differance is between a 1 part adhesive and 2 part adhesive.

 

[Varley]

Are you talking about flexi adhesive?

 

[waynestores]

yes mate

 

[Varley]

1 part flexi is just mixed with water
2 part flexi is mixed with a flexible additive instead of water, making it even more flexible, rarely would you have to use this.

Many thanks Guys

you do not always need to use 2 part adhesives with ufh most spf adhesives will suffice , bal rapid flexi-set for instance is ideal for ufh and most other brands will be aswell..
hope this helps .. dave.

i find the best 2 part flexi is granfix ultimate flex it works like a 2 part but you just add water it is cheaper than fast flex and comes in a 20kg bag which means you also get more coverage
