epsilonGreedy Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I think the title says it all. I am heading off to my local BM to purchase 8 litres of D4 glue and looking at adverts for this stuff online it appears to be supplied in basic squeezable bottles. I had previously assumed pro's only work with cartridges that fit into a decorators gun. This YouTube video demonstrates Caberdeck being fitted with the glue applied from a large plastic bottle. Is this the norm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Everyone normally uses squeezy bottles - how many boards have you got to do as I did about 80sqm with 4 bottles from memory. It isn't cheap so don't buy too much as it does go off in the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 My builder used squeezy bottles fir my floors but fir other stuff I used cartridge (working above my head in the loft), yes goes off quite quickly so don’t stock pile it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wozza Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) IIRC Egger recommend 1 bottle of D4 adhesive for 6 boards, I think I used around 1 bottle for 5 boards, and as already said, it drips so protect anything underneath that you dont want glue on. Also remember to paint the glue onto any cut edges to seal them - get a few cheap brushes for this. Edited May 5, 2020 by wozza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone West Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 My Caberdek was glued with foaming PU glue and nailed every 150mm with ring shanked nails. Can't remember the name of the glue but remember it bubbled up everywhere. At least the floor doesn't squeak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) On 05/05/2020 at 19:24, joe90 said: you will have black hands for weeks I had to do an emergency repair on a PU moulding machine when I worked in the Derbyshire. Now take into account that this was the 1990's, and the humour of the area. My impersonation of Lenny Henry went down quite well.
