How good is evo-stik impact adhesive for glueing plastic to wood and how many years or decades is the bond good for? Thanks.

A bit more detail would help – for example some plastics don’t glue well, and the usage & nature of the assembly and the environment to which it will be exposed can all affect what might reasonably be expected.

As said more details are needed. I know it makes vinly tile and flooring go soft and will attack polystyrene and is not meant for external use.

Hi, have you read their literature Evo-stik ? or their Technical Data Sheets ?

All I can say is that when I’ve used Evo-Stik products, according to their instructions, it does what it’s said on the tin.

Regards Nick.

I used it to stick Formica to blackboard about 50 years ago to make kitchen worktops. I’m still using some pieces as work surfaces in the workshop and it’s still OK.

It’s OK with the Phenolic resin used to make Formica and other HPLs but will attack certain plastics as the link Nick posted shows.

Also does not stick to others, easy to peel the dried glue off the provided notched spreaders so has not bonded to them

Same as Andrew Crow, almost 60 years ago I made kitchen units for our self build house and fixed Formica surface and edging strips I cut to block board with Evostik. Never had a problem and one set of the wall cupboards is now in my workshop showing no sign of separation.

I think care and preparation are vital as it is with many adhesives.
