Instructions and rules of work
Before gluing the parts, both bases must be properly prepared. To do this, the surfaces are cleaned of dust, dirt, old paint is removed from them, fat is removed by wiping with alcohol, acetone. The optimum moisture content of wood is 8-10%, the limit of this indicator is 18%. With a moisture content of 12-14%, you need to be prepared for an increase in the setting time of the glue. It is desirable that the room temperature is about 20 degrees.
The procedure for working with glue is as follows:
- Cut the tip of the tube nozzle to a size corresponding to the width of the required seam. If Moment is purchased in a can, bucket, open the package.
- Make sure that the adhesive and the materials to be bonded are at room temperature. Better if they are warmed up to + 23 ... + 25 degrees.
- Apply the product in a thin layer with a brush, roller or rubber trowel. To achieve better adhesion, glue should be applied to both surfaces.
- Fix the products for 10-15 minutes to set the glue. With high moisture content of wood, this time should be increased. Vices, heavy objects can be used as clamps. It is best to leave the products in this position for a day - this is how much the glue line needs to be ready for use.
- Remains of glue that have gone beyond the seam must be removed mechanically (for example, wiped off with a damp cloth).
Care must be taken when working with Instant Glue. The details should be folded correctly right away, because they will grab almost immediately. For all adhesives of the Moment Stolyar line, it is precisely the high-quality initial fixation that is important, therefore, immediately after applying the product, the strongest pressure is provided.
Valuable Tips
When purchasing PVA glue for wood, it is worth considering important nuances in order to spend money on a really effective component for gluing.
The following points are worthy of attention:
- to connect parts forever, it is better to choose a synthetic adhesive composition, but for elements that will be further disassembled, it is worth purchasing casein or bone glue;
- light wood is demanding on adhesives and it is necessary for it to select a product that can adapt to the color of the surface so that after drying there is no dark seam between the parts;
- the glue mass should not be too thick or liquid, as this may indicate its hypothermia and, as a result, loss of properties.
Craftsmen often ask themselves: how long does PVA glue dry on wood? This is really important to know, as otherwise the result of connecting the parts can be frustrating. Different drying times are indicated on the packages of adhesive mixtures, but this should not be believed in all cases.
This period is definitely enough for the complete grasp of the composition and the parts will not separate either by themselves or under force.
Work technology
Together with information about the best quality products, it is worth knowing how to glue wood with PVA glue.
Regardless of the variety, also the manufacturer of the sticky mass, two important rules should be observed:
- Before starting work with the glue, the wooden parts must be assembled in a test mode to make sure that all the elements are present and that they correspond to each other.
- Before spreading the composition over the surface, it should be cleaned and dried.
There are situations when parts cannot be pressed against each other with the required pressure. In this case, they should be connected and fixed with clamps, and it is allowed to remove the wooden elements only after the adhesive mass has completely dried.
Peculiarities
To begin with, it is worth mentioning that "Moment Joiner" is not just glue, but a whole series of tools that will definitely come in handy during the repair, assembly or repair of furniture. All products in this series are perfect for both outdoor and indoor work. At the same time, according to manufacturers, the glue is suitable for both domestic and professional use.
Among the features and advantages of this tool, it is worth noting not only its versatility, but also its reliability. The glue hardens very quickly. For example, at room temperature, just ten minutes is enough for the product to set and the breakage is repaired. It should be noted that at higher temperatures, the product sets even faster.
The main feature of this glue is that it is characterized by heat resistance, water resistance and high strength. After the work with the glue is completed, it will not be visible at all, since after drying it becomes transparent.
ULTIMA JOINER PVA
Unique PVA glue Stolyar from Ultima possesses rather high performance properties. It is actively used in the printing and woodworking industries.
The glue is famous for its maximum seam strength, due to which it can successfully glue parts that will be subjected to high loads in the future - this mark is even on the packaging of the composition. In addition, among the positive aspects, it is necessary to highlight the setting speed, frost resistance and almost crystal transparency.
The sticky mass does not lose its properties after four freezing cycles down to -35 degrees. This fact is indicated by the manufacturer and confirmed by many buyers, so it's really worth trusting him.
The only drawback of the glue is that it dries for a long time. Despite the quick setting after distributing the mixture and joining the parts, the master will in any case have to wait several hours to continue working with the glued elements.
Instructions for use
To prevent possible reddening of the skin of the hands, we recommend using latex gloves. Otherwise, this glue is safe.
To understand how to glue with PVA glue with high quality, you must firmly master the following rules:
After mastering the above rules, the instructions are pretty simple. The optimum temperature for gluing is 18-25 ° C. Please note that the parts themselves must be at this temperature, and not just the air in the room. The surfaces to be glued must be cleaned of all excess. This is best done with fine sandpaper. Moreover, the use of sandpaper will increase the surface roughness, which leads to an increase in the contact area and thereby improve cohesion.
The cleaned and sanded surface must be wiped with a highly volatile solvent. In addition to degreasing, this procedure will remove dust. The presence of dust dramatically reduces the adhesion of the glue to the part.
PVA dispersion is applied in a thin layer on both surfaces and left for 6-8 minutes. During this time, on each part, the glue penetrates into the thickness of the material by several microns and already begins the polymerization process. Then the surfaces to be glued are pressed against each other and securely fixed
Only after this time, the glue line acquires the declared characteristics.
Of course, if you glue the cardboard, then you don't have to wait that long. But when working with furniture, adherence to the aging period is highly desirable. When gluing wood, careful adherence to the instructions leads to a paradoxical effect - the glue seam of PVA super glue becomes stronger than the product itself. In other words, if the load is exceeded, the piece of wood itself will break, not the glue seam!
It is best to remove excess glue immediately after application. This can be done with a damp cloth. After drying and complete curing, only scraping with a knife or sandpaper is possible.The action of household solvents causes the polymer film to swell and does not lead to dissolution.

Packaging and storage
Adhesives are available in a variety of containers. In everyday life, tubes of 125 g are most popular, as well as jars of 250 g. Small packages are equipped with caps, therefore it is more convenient to work with them (you can tighten the product at any time). Typically, such glue is used to create crafts, carry out minor repairs to furniture, interior items, for gluing the corners of wallpaper.
Also on sale there are cans of 750 g. They are used for repair work, they are often added to wallpaper glue to enhance adhesion (to hold heavy cloths). Professionals usually choose 3 kg buckets, and furniture factories usually choose 30 kg buckets. Packages of 3 kg have a sealed lid, as well as larger containers, although the glue does not have to be stored for a long time under production conditions. Additional packages of 100 and 200 g are available for the "Instant Grip" glue, as it is often used for small jobs that require fast and reliable gluing.
The product should be stored at + 5 ... + 30 degrees in its original packaging, tightly twisted and closed. It must be protected from high humidity, direct sunlight. Despite the moderate frost resistance, it is better not to freeze the glue unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, the frozen product must be brought to a room with room temperature, and allowed to melt in a natural way. When used correctly, Moment adhesives from the Joiner series will become reliable assistants at construction sites and in repairs.
Characteristics and varieties
As mentioned above, Moment Stolyar glue is divided into several varieties, and each tool has its own characteristics and its purpose.
Glue marked "Express" is available in various packages from 125 to 750 g. And there are also large packages in the form of buckets from 3 to 30 kg. This water dispersion product is highly moisture resistant and is excellent for all types of wood, plywood, veneer, chipboard and MDF. But you can also use glue for working with cladding materials and for attaching a variety of fittings.
It is important to note that this product contains no toluene and various kinds of solvents. After applying and connecting the parts, the glue sets within fifteen minutes
Another type of glue, which is produced with the mark "Universal PVA", can be purchased in a can from 250 g to 3 kg. This glue is excellent for working with all types of wood for assembly bonding. It can also be used when working with materials such as plywood, MDF and chipboard. "PVA universal" is also suitable for some types of plastic and veneer.
The red color of the product packaging marked "Super PVA D2" immediately attracts attention. It is a versatile product that does its job perfectly, is durable, reliable and moisture resistant.
The glue is made without the use of solvents, which adds another plus to his piggy bank. This tool is designed to work with various types of wood, laminate, chipboard, MDF and others. The glue easily glues laminated and parquet flooring, plywood and even plastic. Another advantage of this glue is that it is also great for working with paper. Glue is produced in tubes and buckets. You can find compact packages from 125 g or large up to 30 kg.
Another version of the glue from this series, which is somewhat similar to "Super PVA", but is marked "D3".The product is available in packages from 750 g to 30 kg and is equally well suited for wood, plywood, veneer, MDF and chipboard. This material is highly reliable and durable.
Another type of glue from this series is a product that is available in cans from 100 to 200 g and is designated as "Instant grip". This moisture resistant adhesive is excellent for working with a wide variety of wood species. Means completed based on acrylic water variance. It grabs in a matter of seconds. Just ten seconds and the job is done. The glue is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. It is applied easily and conveniently; after drying, it does not leave any traces.
How to prepare the mixture
To prepare the working material, take ready-made grain, dry powders, tiles, granules. They are thoroughly crushed, diluted with warm water according to the instructions. Swelling of active components is awaited. Then use. Store in a hermetically sealed container. All formulations, except for casein, retain their sticky properties for several days.
The method of preparation is prescribed in the instructions on the package.... The composition of the mixture may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. Consistency matters. The description of a specific glue indicates the required amount of water. It is designed to produce a mixture of a specific viscosity. If a more liquid material is needed for work, the liquid is added in small portions, each time the paste is thoroughly mixed.
Appointment
As for the purpose of one or another tool of the Moment Joiner series, it is important to mention that some of them are suitable not only for working with wood. For example, a product marked "Express" copes well with gluing paper, thick cardboard and even straw
If there is such glue in the house, then it can be safely used to create a variety of crafts with children.
Also for crafts and paperwork, glue marked "D3" is suitable. It is also great for making doors or windows. And also in the production of various furniture for the bathroom or kitchen, since it is highly water resistant.
Since many adhesives of the Moment Stolyar series are considered to be universal, that is, a tool that is suitable not only for working with wood, but also for working with metal and PVC. The tool marked "Instant Grip" can glue wood to wood, wood to metal or PVC. That is why it is used to perform not only small work, but also for heavy repair work.
Application
Carpenter's glue comes in convenient packages and is great for wood and beyond. Detailed instructions are on each package, so that even a non-professional can make minor repairs at home using this tool.
Before starting work, it is imperative to prepare the surface and those parts that will be used for repairs. All parts that are planned to be glued together must be clean.
If you plan to work with wood, it is important to remember that the moisture content of the parts should not exceed twelve percent, otherwise the bonding process may take a longer time. It is not recommended to carry out work at low temperatures
The temperature should be at least plus ten degrees. The ideal temperature for such work is plus twenty degrees.
When gluing the parts, it is important to firmly fix them to each other for at least fifteen minutes. Construction professionals in this case use a special vice.
If there is nothing of the kind in the house, then it is quite possible to do with improvised means. The glued parts can be pressed down with something heavy, such as a tied stack of books, a bucket full of water, and so on. The main thing is that the heavy object does not move, otherwise the parts will not be properly glued to each other.
Usually, the glue is available in convenient tube packaging. This is very convenient if you need to apply a thin layer of glue. Cut the cap so that you can gently apply the desired seam thickness later. You can use a brush or roller to smooth out the adhesive over a large area.
Varieties
In the modern household chemicals market, the model range of joinery adhesives is represented by five series, differing from each other in composition, conditions of use, time of initial setting and complete hardening.
"Moment Stolyar Glue-Express" is a universal moisture-resistant agent produced on a water-dispersion basis and intended for gluing wood of different species, as well as wood-fiber and chipboard, veneer and plywood. Full curing time is from 10 to 15 minutes and depends on the ambient temperature and the moisture content of the wood.
The adhesive has high moisture resistant properties, does not contain solvent and toluene. The product is suitable for working with paper, cardboard and straw, which allows it to be used instead of stationery glue for making crafts and applications. After applying the composition, the working surfaces must be pressed tightly against each other. This can be done with a vice. Also, products can be crushed by a book or other heavy object.
The product is available in tubes weighing 125 g, in cans of 250 and 750 g, as well as in large buckets of 3 and 30 kg. You need to store the glue in tightly closed containers in a temperature range of 5 to 30 degrees.
"Moment Stolyar Super PVA" is the optimal solution for gluing wood of various species, laminate, chipboard and fiberboard. The glue is available in red cans, has a transparent structure and is practically invisible after drying. The moisture resistance of the material corresponds to class D2, which allows it to be used in dry and moderately damp rooms. The joinery is suitable for working with laminated plastics, straw, cardboard and paper, which allows you to carry out crafts together with children without fear of harmful effects. Complete setting of the solution occurs after 15-20 minutes.
Moment Joiner Super PVA D3 waterproof is a universal assembly compound capable of withstanding repeated freezing and thawing, intended for gluing wood products and laminated surfaces. The water resistance limit is determined by the DIN-EN-204 / D3 index, which indicates the high moisture-repellent properties of the material and allows the use of products repaired with it in high humidity conditions. The product has proven itself well in renovation work in kitchens, bathrooms, lavatories, and also as an assembly tool for gluing parquet and laminate flooring.
"Moment Universal PVA Joiner" is a water-based glue suitable for gluing elements made of any wood species, MDF, fiberboard and plywood. The product has a short full-setting time, a transparent structure and does not leave colored or cloudy stains on the wood. The initial initial setting force is 30 kg / cm2, which characterizes the excellent adhesive properties of the product. The main condition is that the surfaces to be glued must be firmly fixed within 20 minutes. Adhesives on a water-dispersion basis have in their composition a strictly defined amount of water, therefore, it will not be possible to additionally dilute the agent to increase the volume, otherwise the proportions will be violated, and the mixture will lose its operational properties.
"Moment Joiner Instant grip" is a universal moisture-resistant agent made on an acrylic water-dispersion basis, intended for any wood. The initial setting time is only 10 seconds, which refers to the composition as a second adhesives and requires careful use. The solution is easy to apply and leaves no residue.The product is excellent for gluing wood to metal, PVC to plastic, withstands up to five short-term freezing cycles.
Composition
The base of wood glue, the main agent is animal protein.
By the type of raw material, there is glue:
- mezdrovy,
- fish,
- bone,
- casein,
- polyvinyl acetate (PVA),
- moisture resistant.
All types are used for carpentry work.
Mezdrovy
The main active ingredient is obtained from the processing of animal skin. Protein is the subcutaneous layer without adipose tissue. It contains oligopeptides. They contain cysteine, which forms bridging links for a secure connection of parts.
Mezdrovy carpentry glue is produced in the form:
- powder,
- tiles,
- scales.
Isinglass
For the production of fish glue, fins, scales, swim bladders are used. The result is a solution suitable for gluing similar and dissimilar surfaces. The only drawback is the high price. Glue is produced in the form of dry flakes and granules.
Bone
They are made from the bone remnants of animals. The composition includes:
- collagen,
- gelatin,
- cysteine.
These substances are viscous and reliably glue the surfaces of wooden products. The price of the material is low. You should choose transparent compositions: they are better than unrefined, cloudy, with impurities.
Casein
Includes:
- casein,
- kerosene,
- copper sulfate,
- sodium fluoride,
- slaked lime.
Disadvantages:
- Significant volume shrinkage.
- Changing the color of the glued surfaces.
- The prepared solution has a short shelf life - several hours.
Bonds wood parts well.
Peculiarities
The Stolyar contains a polyvinyl acetate dispersion with the inclusion of special plasticizers and additives that improve the adhesive properties of the material and increase the reliability of the connection. In the process of manufacturing Moment glue, toxic and poisonous substances are not used, which makes the material environmentally friendly and allows it to be used in the repair of household items. The chemical safety of the product is confirmed by a quality passport and certificates of conformity that meet strict European standards.
Thanks to special additives, the adhesive does not disturb the structure of the wood fibers. After drying, it is invisible. The scope of the product is quite wide. The glue is successfully used when working with all types of natural wood, plywood, chipboard and fiberboard, cardboard, veneer and laminate.
It is allowed to work with the composition at temperatures above 10 degrees and a relative humidity of no more than 80%. When working at low temperatures, the glue may lose its high adhesive properties, and the gluing will turn out to be of poor quality. Average material consumption is about 150 grams per square meter of surface. The dried composition is compatible with all types of paints and varnishes, therefore, if necessary, the glued thing can be painted or varnished.
Krass PVA PVA D3
Class D3 PVA carpentry glue is an excellent choice for joining parts, the appearance of which cannot be spoiled in any way. It is allowed to use it when working with an extended list of wood species. As a rule, this product is used for the manufacture of kitchen or garden furniture, as well as for the installation of laminate and parquet. It is also in no less demand when it is necessary to work with windows, timber, doors, veneer and plywood.
The adhesive differs from its competitors in its high level of water resistance and transparency after drying on the surface. Also, the features of the composition include an elastic, but very strong seam, which is weakly subject to physical changes.
This glue, despite the warnings of some specialists, is allowed to be applied to a damp wood surface and thus to connect the parts. An equally important plus of the product is the absence of toxins and organic solvents in the composition, which ensures its environmental safety.
The disadvantage of this sticky mass is the same as that of the previous product - the drying time. For the rest, Krass PVA PVA D3 receives only positive reviews and satisfies buyers even at its price.
