Bustilate glue - technical characteristics and application depending on the type

This adhesive composition is used for gluing tiles, heavy wallpaper, borders and linoleum without a base. The material has high waterproofing properties. To obtain the desired viscosity, Bustilat-N must be distributed with water according to the instructions before use. This type of glue is characterized by improved adhesion, minimal toxicity and non-flammability. It is considered the best option for gluing linoleum or wallpaper. It is designed for gluing finishing and building materials based on polymers, PVC film, various types of wallpaper and linoleum. Bustilat-Lux is often used in construction areas, but it is also used by carpenters and joiners.

How to remove old Bustilat from walls?

When it is necessary to remove wallpaper glued to Bustilat and remove residual glue, you need to prepare. Let us immediately note that trying to soak frozen Bustilat is pointless - even hot water cannot soak it. You can use a metal scraper or a sharp spatula. The glue is removed well with a grinder with a metal brush attachment, but this work is very dusty, so you need a respirator. There is another trick you can use to remove Bustilate: wet a rag and apply it to the surface, then iron or heat it with a hairdryer. The glue will soften and you can peel it off with a spatula. The work is not fast, but not dusty.

The modern range of adhesive compositions is diverse, which makes it possible to choose the most suitable option for a particular material. Among a large product group, Bustilat glue has remained in demand for several decades. Its properties, advantages and application features will be discussed in the article.

Areas of application of Bustilat

Glue is used for arranging various coatings inside the house if strong fixation of finishing materials is required. Thanks to its elasticity, the adhesive seam will serve for a long time, because it is not subject to destruction due to vibrations, fluctuations, and mechanical loads. The product is perfect for the following reasons:

concrete;
wood;
bricks;
Fibreboard, chipboard;
stone;
plaster.

Bustilat is used to glue various types of wallpaper, including the heaviest ones. It is suitable for fixing carpet, other pile coverings, linoleum with a fabric and felt backing. The adhesive is suitable for fastening polymer and ceramic tiles, panels, stucco moldings, baguettes and other decor, wood trim. The glue is also useful for working with asbestos-cement slabs. Another product is added to cement during various repair work, which will increase the strength of the mortar or screed.

Types of glue

There are several varieties on sale that differ in properties. The choice of a specific model depends on the needs and operating conditions

It is very important to buy the right brand so that it can withstand the climatic conditions in the area of use. The following modifications are available:

— “Bustilat-M” glue — is a special frost-resistant mixture;
— “Bustilat-N” glue — designed for materials with poor adhesion and contains special additives that increase the adhesiveness and strength of the adhesive seam;
— adhesive “Bustilat-D” — has increased strength and is especially used for installing heavy materials or gluing to a base;
— Bustilat-Lux glue — used for gluing polymer materials.

Within one modification, there may also be varieties with a numerical designation, which will indicate the degree of manifestation of the main distinctive property. In general, it should be noted that existing models make it possible to fully cover the repair needs for the installation of finishing materials. At the same time, Bustilat glue for linoleum and other elements will cost much less than modern substances. The economic indicator is very important, so in this sector there are simply no competitors for this glue.

Features and Specifications

Bustilate belongs to one-component adhesives. It does not contain solvents.

Latex is used as a base in the production of glue. Chalk, modified cellulose, preservative, water, thickener, as well as special additives are added to the base. The result is a thick, creamy mass with optimal properties, grayish-white in color, and without a pungent odor.

Characteristics of bustylate glue

In addition to its environmental friendliness, we are attracted by such characteristics of Bustilat adhesive as the ability to dry quickly, high bond strength, excellent adhesion properties, as well as:

Economical. On average, glue consumption ranges from 80 to 200 g per square meter.
The time for complete hardening ranges from 1 to 1.5 days.
There is no need to restore the adhesive layer if mistakes need to be corrected. This condition can only be met until the initially applied adhesive layer has completely dried.
Lack of coloring on the surface of the material (paper, non-woven wallpaper) after the glue has hardened.
Non-flammable and unresponsive to open fire.

Based on the presented characteristics, the reputation of a reliable universal glue is well deserved. However, there are some disadvantages that affect the possibility of using Bustilat, depending on the conditions:

If there are special requirements for durability, then in this case this adhesive is significantly inferior to multicomponent mixtures.
If the work is planned to be carried out in an unheated room, it is better to choose a different composition, since Bustilat freezes quickly due to the presence of water in the composition. There is no reaction to low temperatures only after the adhesive layer has completely hardened.

What's included

The composition of this adhesive includes chalk, latex, thickener, cellulose, and water. Various impurities may also be present that improve the composition.

The technical specifications are as follows:

has a white color;
viscous, without the presence of lumps;
after it dries, it acquires a transparent color;
has low consumption;
hardens within 24 hours;
non-flammable, as it does not contain alcohol;
should be used only in the warm season, because it is water-based and freezes in the cold.

The glue can be used for wallpaper, linoleum, parquet, tiles, and wooden products.

Material care

Oilcloth is a very low-maintenance type of cladding. When it gets dirty, simply clean it with water and any detergent. Some stains are difficult to remove. In such cases, you can use alcohol-containing compounds or regular vodka.

Oilcloth has won the love of customers due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of installation. This coating can be easily re-glued or individual sections replaced. It does not require special care and is completely waterproof. Using film, you can quickly and effortlessly change your boring bathroom design.

In addition, the choice of such materials is very wide. This provides owners with the opportunity to implement any creative ideas during bathroom renovations.

Instructions

In order to determine how much oilcloth you will need, take measurements of the room, that is, the number of pieces for pasting should be equal to the number of meters of wall length (you can ignore window and door openings).

If the room has been wallpapered previously, completely remove all previous coatings. If there is paint on the walls, moisten them with water and remove the plaster, plaster, paint, and then dry thoroughly.

Now take the oilcloth panels themselves and spread them with glue evenly over the entire area, without missing a single area, otherwise bubbles may form.

If you glue oilcloth

on chalk whitewash, then first apply glue to the walls using a brush, otherwise, when drying, the layer may begin to lag behind the plaster. Apply glue to both the wall and the canvas, and then smooth it out with gauze.

Start from the corner. If you are gluing with an overlap, always point the edge of the fabric towards the window. Apply the cloth coated with glue from top to bottom, from the ceiling to the floor. To smooth the edges, use a roller or rag, being careful to ensure that the pattern on adjacent panels aligns correctly.

Glue the oilcloth strips with a slight overlap, coat the edges well. Using a damp cloth, smooth and wipe off any excess glue. Take strips of paper, coat them with wallpaper glue and place them over the seams. Once dry, lightly moisten with water and remove. Secure the top of the oilcloth in the ceiling area with strips of paper that will match the color or, conversely, create contrast.

After you have mastered the technique of gluing wallpaper on a flat wall, it's time to learn how to glue the corners. At first glance, there is nothing complicated in this process. However, upon closer examination of the case, this process becomes a real curse for some. Therefore, it will be useful to read this article to the end. Below are some recommendations for wallpapering corners.

Instructions

I would like to say right away that gluing a whole canvas into a corner is extremely undesirable. In practice, there are very few absolutely straight nodes in apartments. That is why, with almost one hundred percent probability, the corners of your wallpaper will wrinkle, the strip will skew, and the next strip will also lie unevenly. What can I say? The process stalled, your mood deteriorated and you had to run to the store for a new roll of wallpaper. A depressing prospect. Therefore, to prevent such incidents from happening, glue the corners correctly.

So, what is the basic principle of wallpapering corners? The canvas should be glued in such a way that there is a slight overlap on the adjacent wall (literally 1-2 cm). The next strip will lie end-to-end on the other wall towards the corner and you will have an even corner. If you are gluing heavy wallpaper (vinyl, non-woven and other similar ones), then it is necessary, using a plumb line and making a centimeter overlap on the adjacent wall, to paste the strip of wallpaper strictly vertically.

These were the basic requirements regarding the process of gluing wallpaper in the corners. These requirements apply to both paper and other wallpapers. The exception, perhaps, is glass wallpaper. They will have to be cut exactly along a plumb line that runs right along the corner. The whole “trick” here is that glass wallpaper is glued exclusively for painting, so the junction of two canvases in the corner after the process of painting the wallpaper will become almost invisible.

In the process of gluing wallpaper, novice repairmen often have doubts about the strength of the glue used. At this moment, first of all, they remember about PVA glue. But how justified is its use?

Can PVA glue + sand replace the primer for DSP plaster?

The “coat” on the outer surface of the garage wall has peeled off. Wall material: concrete blocks. The peeling area is less than 1 sq.m. There is no point in buying a primer for such an area. There is a PVA bubble at home. It can dilute the glue with water, mix it with sand, apply it to the concrete with a brush, dry it, and then sketch out the “fur coat.” Or stupidity?

You don't have to do that. It will fall off in six months. Verified.

If the toad is pressuring you to buy an acrylic primer (although it is sold in liter packaging), then prime the wall, cleaned with a metal brush, with PVA diluted in water. Then apply strokes of tile adhesive (also available in small packages) with a notched trowel. Allow the tile adhesive to gain strength by wetting it for several days. Then you can plaster.

How to use?

To lay linoleum or carpet, the adhesive solution is applied to the floor using a spatula.

Immediately after this, finishing material is laid on the base.

The cladding must be pressed firmly to the base. Upon completion, it is necessary to leave the finish for three days until the glue has completely dried. The optimal composition consumption in this case is from 0.5 to 0.7 kilograms per m2.

Advice from an expert: You can add cement mortar to the glue. This will help speed up the hardening process of the layer if it is necessary to carry out the work in the shortest possible time. Proportions – 1: 1. To prepare the mixture, you need to mix one part cement and three parts sand.

When using an adhesive composition for laying ceramic tiles, the composition must be carefully applied to the back side of the finishing material. The optimal layer size is about 203 millimeters. Afterwards, the tile must be firmly pressed against the wall and fixed in this position until the glue sets. Complete hardening of the glue occurs after three days. At this time, under no circumstances should you influence the finish. From 0.4 to one kilogram of glue is consumed per square meter.

Bustilat is actively used for installing wallpaper from various materials.

If the glue thickens over time, it should be diluted a little. Add one-seventh of pure water to the mixture; this is the maximum allowable volume. If the product is fresh, there is no need to dilute it.

It is worth noting that the frozen layer of Bustilat cannot be removed with hot water, so washing off old wallpaper and treating the base in this way does not make sense.

The most popular, affordable and effective method is mechanical cleaning, which is carried out using a metal spatula or a sharp scraper. You can also use a grinder that has a special attachment in the form of a metal brush. This method will help get rid of glue residues, but during operation there is a lot of dust and noise. Protect your respiratory tract with a respirator while working.

The second method is to wet a cloth with water and heat the cloth with a hair dryer or iron. Under the influence of temperature, the crust of the layer will become elastic. This is an efficient and silent, but time-consuming process.

Before starting work, thoroughly ventilate the room.
The working surface should also be prepared by cleaning it from dirt, traces of grease and various compounds. If necessary, a priming procedure is carried out (if the base has a porous structure).
Be sure to read the instructions for use of the product. All necessary information is indicated on the packaging.
The price of glue depends on many factors: manufacturer's markup, store percentage, type of composition. The minimum price per kilogram is about 100 rubles.

During repairs, it is impossible to do without adhesives. This is justified by the fact that the use of elements such as nails or screws can make the material unsightly. In order not to spoil the appearance of the room after renovation, they often use Bustilate Glue: we will find out the main properties and use cases below.

The glue is used for gluing wooden and ceramic products, wallpaper, linoleum and other structures. It is worth noting that this substance has been on the market for about 50 years, however, even today the use of bustylate glue has not lost its popularity. This proves that boostilate is a high-quality material that is available to any category of builders, as well as to those people who do their own repairs.

How to clean the surface from old Bustilat

If it is necessary to dismantle the old wallpaper that was attached to Bustilat and free the surface from glue residues, preparation is required. Frozen “Bustilat” does not dissolve even in hot water, so you should not soak it.

The most effective method is mechanical, using a sharp scraper or spatula.

A grinder with a special attachment in the form of a metal brush removes residues perfectly. A respirator is required to protect against dust.

There is another method for removing dried glue. Moisten a cloth with water, then apply it to the base and heat it with an iron or hairdryer. The adhesive crust will become softer and easier to remove with a spatula. The process is long, but not dusty.

Bustilat glue is very popular, and if you use it correctly, you will achieve good results in home repairs.

Varieties

Types of bustylate glue (click to enlarge)
You can find different types of glue on the market. The choice will depend on what types of work will be carried out. Below are the main types of adhesive composition.

"Omega". This type is used for fabric or felt material. For example, it will perfectly stick fabric wallpaper to the wall. In this case, there will be no stains, since the substance will not penetrate deep into the fabric. Perfect for working with paper. It will help to glue a broken tile or a broken wooden object.
"Bustilat-M". Capable of gluing concrete, brick, ceramics. Will withstand very low temperatures. Used when finishing tiles and wallpaper, can stick linoleum. This glue is perfect for wood. Sometimes used when priming walls.
"Bustilat-N". It has excellent elasticity and retains its adhesive properties even when the object is deformed. Can adhere to materials that do not adhere well. For example, these include synthetic coatings.
"Bustilat-D-super." Prevents the development of mold in the material. This adhesive can be used to attach vinyl linoleum. It is also suitable for polymer materials with a smooth surface. This substance is non-toxic and safe. There is no difference between the expensive adhesive and Bustilat-D-super. He copes well with his tasks.
"Lux". Used for materials with a polymer base. This includes siding.

Watch the video to know how to glue linoleum with it:

Bustilat and PVA are often confused. Both are used in construction and can glue the same materials. But these adhesive compositions have different compositions and technical characteristics.

The expiration dates for these products are different. "PVA" is stored for less than six months. Bustilat glues better. But as far as environmental friendliness is concerned, Bustilat is still inferior to PVA, which is therefore used in children's institutions.

What is the difference between Bustilat and PVA

These two popular adhesives have differences in composition and technical characteristics.

They are used to fasten the same elements and materials. Its popularity is due to its low cost and fairly high efficiency. However, there are some differences between them:

the shelf life of Bustilat is longer than that of PVA (one year and six months, respectively);
PVA is more environmentally friendly, it is acceptable for repairs in kindergartens and schools;
Bustilat's adhesion is slightly higher than that of PVA.

In general, the two adhesive compositions differ insignificantly, so both are suitable for repairs.

Bustilat glue: application

Before using the adhesive composition, you need to carefully prepare the surface:

remove dust and dirt from the surface;
if necessary, the surface can be washed;
if the surface is porous, then it needs to be opened with a primer;
the room temperature should be above zero;
Prepare the glue by mixing it thoroughly.

Working with floor coverings

To glue linoleum or carpet to the floor, you need to apply a thin layer of the adhesive mixture to the floor using a spatula. The prepared, straightened coating is carefully laid according to its dimensions on the floor covered with glue.

Every centimeter of the covering is carefully pressed to the floor and smoothed out. It is advisable not to enter this room for 72 hours to allow the glue to dry completely. To glue the floor covering, you need to know that the consumption of the adhesive mixture for such work is 500–700 grams per square meter.

Laying tiles

To lay tiles on the wall, you need to put 1-3 mm of the compound on the back side of it. Depending on the condition of the wall, you may also need to apply an adhesive composition to it.

Align the tile and lightly press it against the wall. It is advisable not to touch this surface for 72 hours so that the adhesive layer is completely dry. And the glue consumption per square meter ranges from 400 to 1000 grams.

Wallpapering

If you have just opened the glue, then you do not need to dilute it with water. And if you have already opened it and thickened a little, then it is advisable to dilute it. The homogeneous mass obtained after mixing is applied in an even layer to both surfaces using a brush or roller. Ten minutes, after that, you just need to wait, and then glue the surfaces. You need to get rid of all air bubbles using a dry towel or a special spatula.

There should be no drafts in the room where the work was carried out. It is advisable to close the room for the whole day. The consumption of bustilate for wallpapering a room will be 300–400 grams per square meter. You can also use PVA adhesive.

Usage

The surfaces to be glued must be prepared. They are cleaned of dust and dirt residues. The porous surface is primed using a special solution.

Important! Before starting work, you need to check how well the room is ventilated, but after work you will have to close all windows and doors.

The consumption of adhesive for carpet or linoleum will be approximately 700 g per sq.m. It is applied to the floor, and a coating is placed on top and pressed. The surfaces will take 72 hours to dry. If you need to speed up the drying process, add a cement solution to the glue. The proportion should be 1 to 1.

If you need to glue the tile, then the product is applied to its back side in a thin layer. The consumption will be about 1000 g.

For wallpaper, glue is not diluted. If it thickens, add a little water. The main thing is not to overdo it. Per sq. m. consumption of adhesive composition will be about 200 g.

Important! It is imperative to prevent air bubbles from appearing between objects. While they dry, the windows in the room should be closed, and there should be no drafts.

The composition of Bustilat glue includes chemical compounds, so you need to work with it, observing the basic rules. Be sure to wear gloves before use. When the glue dries, the room needs to be ventilated. In case of contact with mucous membranes, they should be washed thoroughly. If any unpleasant symptoms appear, be sure to visit a doctor.

Instructions for using glue

Before carrying out work, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation of the room by opening the doors and windows.

To prepare the surface for gluing, it must be cleaned of dust and dirt. If the base is porous, it is recommended to pre-prime it with a special solution.

Works with linoleum

To glue linoleum or carpet, a thin layer of adhesive is applied to the floor with a spatula, and the prepared coating is laid on top of it.
Next, you need to carefully press it to the base and leave it for 72 hours to dry completely.
The glue consumption in this case will be about 500-700 grams per square meter.

To speed up the drying of the glue when gluing linoleum or tiles, you can add cement mortar in a ratio of 1 to 1. Prepare the solution from 1 part cement and 3 parts sand.

Working with tiles

When using adhesive to decorate walls with tiles, you need to apply a layer of 1-3 mm of the composition on the back side of the tile.
Next, press it firmly against the wall. Drying occurs within 72 hours, and glue consumption varies between 400-1000 grams per square.

Wallpaper

For gluing wallpaper, Bustilat does not need to be diluted if it has not thickened. Otherwise, add 1/7 part water, but don't overdo it.
The glue consumption will be 300-400 grams per square meter.

Bustilate and PVA - what is the difference?

Construction PVA and Bustilat are two common adhesives that differ in chemical composition and some performance characteristics.

Both compositions glue the same materials and surfaces, and their advantages include low cost, but there is a slight difference between them:

Bustilat glue is stored longer than PVA (12 and 6 months, respectively);
PVA is more environmentally friendly, so it is not prohibited to use it when renovating children's institutions;
In terms of adhesion, Bustilat is slightly superior to PVA.

As you can see, the differences between the two adhesive compositions are insignificant, so you can choose any of them for repair work.

Are there any analogues?

Bustilat glue has almost no analogues, considering the price-quality ratio, but there are improved varieties of adhesive composition.

Different types differ in such parameters as:

thermal resistance;
frost resistance;
immunity to moisture.

Let's look at the main varieties:

Bustilat-M

An adhesive with frost-resistant characteristics, suitable for gluing finishing tiles, carpets made of synthetic materials, heavy wallpaper and linoleum, and it is also often used for priming internal and external walls of buildings.

Bustilat-N

Bustilat-D-Super

This type of glue is characterized by improved adhesion, minimal toxicity and non-flammability. It is considered the best option for gluing linoleum or wallpaper.

Bustilat-Lux

It is designed for gluing finishing and building materials based on polymers, PVC film, various types of wallpaper and linoleum. Bustilat-Lux is often used in construction areas, but it is also used by carpenters and joiners.

How to remove old Bustilat from walls?

The only possible and effective method is mechanical removal of wallpaper and glue.

You can use a metal scraper or a sharp spatula.

The glue is removed well with a grinder with a metal brush attachment, but this work is very dusty, so you need a respirator.

There is another trick you can use to remove Bustilate: wet a rag and apply it to the surface, then iron or heat it with a hairdryer. The glue will soften and you can peel it off with a spatula. The work is not fast, but not dusty.

“Bustilat” is a synthetic universal construction adhesive, which is intended for gluing wallpaper, carpeting, fiberboard, chipboard, asbestos-cement and ceramic and polymer tiles, linoleum. Bustilat glue allows you to easily connect walls, floors and ceilings with decorative elements without damaging them with unnecessary holes. The adhesive is intended for interior use only.

General information about Bustilat

Bustilat is a universal construction adhesive of synthetic origin. Good adhesion indicators and harmlessness to health are the main qualities that make it suitable for use inside human housing. The glue cannot be used outdoors, but indoors it is used for finishing walls, floors, and ceilings, allowing you to securely fasten decorative elements and avoid drilling unnecessary holes. “Bustilat” is an invention of Russian scientists from the Mosstroy Research Institute, but now it is produced by different companies:

"Bright colors";
VGT;
"Expert";
"Aquest";
"Rhoda Color";
"Satellite";
"Akvit";
"Diola", etc.

The most popular glue remains Lakra M 20 from, which can be found in any hardware store. High-quality glue always has a certificate of conformity. Many companies produce glue in accordance with GOST 24064-80, but its production is also permitted according to specially developed specifications.

This is interesting: Choosing tile adhesive for exterior work: we consider it in detail

Storage

Bustilat glue is stored in a hermetically sealed container and in a place protected from high temperatures.

For this substance, repeated freezing (up to 5 times) with further thawing at room temperature is acceptable during transportation and storage.

Before use, the substance is thoroughly mixed.

The shelf life in the original sealed packaging at an ambient temperature of + 5-20 degrees C is 12 months from the date of manufacture.

Installation of floor, wall or finishing coverings indoors is not always possible with the help of fasteners. Despite the wide selection of screws, nails, bolts, studs, self-tapping screws, their presence can significantly spoil the appearance of the coating and complicate its further operation. The use of adhesives helps solve the problem. Especially appreciated are universal adhesives, suitable for gluing wallpaper and floor coverings, and placing decorative elements made of various materials. Thus, the use of Bustilat glue in the process of laying linoleum provides a high-quality coating due to a number of technical characteristics of the adhesive composition.

The domestic manufacturer offers many options for bustylate glue

Famous manufacturers

Since Bustilat is in demand today, almost all manufacturers of adhesive masses are engaged in its production. But three TMs are more often found in customer reviews:

Lakra produces Bustilat M-20. Designed for gluing synthetic carpets, linoleum, tiles, and wooden floors indoors. Used diluted as a primer. If it begins to thicken during storage, then dilution by 10% with water is acceptable. After the layer has completely dried, a flexible film is formed. Packaged in containers of 1 and 2.5 kg.

The palette is produced by Bustilat TURY. It is used for gluing carpet, pile linoleum, etc. It is based on latex and modified additives. Storage is carried out in a tightly closed container at a temperature of at least 5 degrees for no more than a year from the date of production. Packaging: 1.3 kg, 4 kg.

VGT produces universal Bustilat. It is used for gluing wallpaper, borders on wallpaper, films. The initial shade is milky. When dry it becomes transparent. Freezing down to -25 degrees is acceptable, but no more than five cycles. Packaging: 0.9 kg, 2.5 kg.

Advantages and disadvantages

To compile this list of pros and cons, experts studied reviews from real customers, expert opinions, as well as data declared by manufacturers.

The practicality and reliability of the adhesive composition has been confirmed by several decades of its use.

This is how long the product has been on the shelves of Russian stores. Over such a long period, professionals carefully studied the effectiveness of the product and confirmed it in practice. Despite the huge selection of adhesives, consumers still choose Bustilat.

Due to the absence of toxic and dangerous elements in the composition, the glue is considered a safe product. This characteristic allows you to safely use the composition in residential buildings.

The price of the product is affordable for the average consumer, and given the popularity and wide distribution of glue, it will not be difficult to find it in any specialized store.

The adhesive layer has excellent elasticity.

Even if the elements and surfaces being glued are deformed, the glue will retain all technical characteristics and, most importantly, its fastening properties.

Regardless of where you use the composition, the glue will fulfill its obligations in full. Whether it's wallpaper, tiles or other individual materials, the composition will firmly connect the elements to the base.

To appreciate the full range of product benefits, purchase only certified products. Glue from the Lakra brand is widely used on the Russian market. If you doubt the quality of the product, check with the sellers for certificates.

No significant disadvantages were found in this composition, however, the product has certain disadvantages.

“Bustilat” cannot be used at sub-zero temperatures, given the fact that there are many adhesives on sale that can withstand this temperature. During its existence, many improved analogues have appeared on the market, which are superior to the product in certain indicators.

What adhesive is best for laying linoleum?

I decided to lay linoleum in the living room myself, what glue should I choose?

comment to favorites Balu1 3 [7.5K] 7 years ago

The choice of adhesive for laying linoleum depends on its type: PVC coating or natural coating. Depending on this, you should approach the selection of adhesive material.

To install them, you can use water-dispersion glue. However, it should be remembered that this type of glue is used only on those substrates that are capable of absorption (concrete or wooden substrates). When laying new linoleum on old, water-dispersed adhesive will not work. Important! When using this glue, it should only be applied to the base.

Using contact adhesive you can glue linoleum to any substrate. It is applied to both surfaces to be glued, and after applying the contact glue, you need to wait for some time, written in the instructions on the packaging, to let it dry a little.

For gluing them, special adhesives are produced, which contain a minimal amount of water (which, in turn, can affect the modification of the material itself).

There are a lot of manufacturers of linoleum adhesive, so you should consult with a specialist before purchasing. Most often, adhesives from the following companies are used in laying linoleum: Henkel, Forbo, Kiilto; from the Russian ones - “Magamax” and “Polaks Project”.

Precautionary measures

Bustylate glue is a synthetic mixture based on a chemical compound. Therefore, when working with this type of glue, you must follow some rules for its use. Remember to protect your hands with gloves when working with this substance. After finishing work and the glue has completely dried, be sure to ventilate the room. If glue accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with warm, clean water, and then try to see a doctor.

Before pasting with such materials, it is necessary to prepare the surface: seal the grooves in the wooden chopped walls with plaster lime-gypsum or gypsum-sand mortar, or seal them with slats, and then line the walls with plasterboard sheets.

Fastening with nails

. If chintz with an ornament or pattern is used, it is necessary to ensure their alignment when preparing the panels. Having cut the material into pieces of the required length, sew the panel to the size of the wall, in which holes are cut for windows and doors. First, the panel is attached at the top, near the ceiling, pulling it tightly. Nails are driven in at least every 25 cm. After this, the panel is fastened below, near the baseboards, making sure that the material is stretched without wrinkles near the window and door openings. It needs to be attached especially well in corners.

Velvet is upholstered in the same way.

Chintz and velvet can be nailed down, without sewing the panels together, in separate pieces, driving nails into the edges. The edges can be laid one under the other and the nails placed in one row; You can also nail the edges of each panel separately.

Gluing

. For this purpose, various glues and mastics are used, but the best is an ordinary paste made of flour or starch with the addition of 100-150 g of wood glue to it (per bucket of paste). Gluing on paste is convenient because if you need to remove chintz or velvet, you just need to moisten them with water, and as soon as the paste gets wet, they can be easily removed. It is not always possible to soften other types of adhesives and mastics.

You can glue in large panels or individual panels, the latter are more convenient to use. You cannot smear the fabric like wallpaper: the paste will penetrate the front surface and when smoothed, it will become shiny. Therefore, the surface is covered with the prepared paste and allowed to dry until it is tack-free, that is, to a state where the fingers will still stick to it, but without the paste sticking to them. Place the fabric on this paste and smooth it well. The velvet is smoothed through paper or struck with a dry brush. Hands should always be clean and dry, without traces of paste.

You cannot drive a nail into stone, brick, or concrete surfaces, but although it can be easily driven into plaster, it can also be removed very easily. Therefore, you should do this. Thin slats with a width of 20 mm are made and material is attached to their back side with thin nails, and then the slats with the material are attached to the wall. They are attached in the same way at the bottom. If the material is nailed to the face of the slats, it will not fit tightly to the wall.

The slats are attached to the walls like this. First, holes are drilled or punched in the walls, wooden plugs are inserted into them so that they hold firmly, and nails are driven into them through the lath.

Some strengthen the panels by hanging them on a strong thread. Near the corner, nails are driven into the wall from above and below. A thin, strong nylon thread (fishing line) is passed through the sewn cloth, pulled tightly, secured firmly to the nails and the material is straightened. This is how they fix the walls on all four sides.

It is advisable to first carry out a test gluing by gluing a small piece of chintz onto cardboard or plywood.

Pasting walls (ceilings) with oilcloth

. Oilcloth is much easier to apply than chintz and velvet. Adhesives and other contaminants are easily removed from its front side. In practice, it is glued in the same way as linkcrust, but it is not soaked in water.

Oilcloth can be used to cover not only walls, but also floors. However, it is not recommended to cover the walls to their full height, but 1.5-1.7 m from the floor, as if arranging a panel. The oilcloth can either be glued or nailed.

Regular nails are used. The oilcloth is cut into sheets of the required length, hung on the walls, attached in several places with nails at the top and bottom. The top edges are covered with a layout, i.e. a strip no more than 30 mm wide.

It can be painted with oil or enamel paint or varnished. In order for the edges to fit tightly against one another, they have to be cut along a ruler. Oilcloth is glued to the floor using strong adhesives, mastics or pastes.

Recommendations

To give the glue the necessary viscosity, it can be diluted with liquid, but its ratio to the total mass should not exceed 5%.
In order for the glue to adhere well to the surface it has treated, it should not be subjected to heavy loads for 3 days.

To ensure additional adhesion, the surface must be primed before applying the adhesive. This will also serve as good protection against the development of fungal and mold colonies.
The composition is harmless, but when working with it, do not forget about personal protective equipment (work uniform, gloves, mask).

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of Bustilat include the following:

Composition safety. The substance does not harm the human body.
Easy to use. The product can be combined with different types of materials. This is very convenient, since only one composition is enough for repairs. In such a situation, there is no need to buy several special products.
Excellent elasticity and high adhesive properties. Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve high strength of fixation of materials over a long period of time.
Low shrinkage and excellent adhesion. These parameters ensure high reliability of adhesion with natural and artificial materials. As a result, it is possible to obtain a strong and even seam.
Multifunctionality. The composition can be used as an adhesive or primer. It can also serve as a waterproofing mixture.
Affordable price. This is due to cheap raw materials and optimization of the production process.

The product has no serious drawbacks. The only drawback is considered to be low durability. In this case, it is worth giving preference to modern multicomponent compositions.

Advantages and disadvantages

Bustilat glue has its positive aspects in use:

An environmentally friendly product, you can use it safely inside your living room. Availability of raw materials (every hardware store has this product). The cheapness of the initial raw materials for production makes the glue itself cheap. Practical, reliable adhesion of various materials. Versatility, which allows you to use only one product during repairs (instead of a primer or waterproofing mixture). Flexibility of the connection, which is very important if the product is likely to be subject to deformation. There is virtually no shrinkage. The seam is smooth and transparent.

No disadvantages have been identified in the use of Bustilat, but it may be inferior in characteristics and service life to modern adhesive bases.

Types of glue

The chemical industry does not stand still. Modern compounds are added to many formulations of drugs that are used in everyday life. The famous glue has also undergone changes. To improve its moisture resistance and frost resistance, special additives were added to its composition.

Depending on the use of the adhesive composition, its varieties are distinguished:

"Bustilat-M" - the adhesive composition includes frost-resistant additives. Used as a primer and adhesive. Linoleum, carpeting, various types of tiles and wallpaper are glued.
Bustilat-N is specially designed for materials with poor adhesion. It contains special additives that increase the adhesiveness and strength of the adhesive joint. It is used for gluing linoleum without a base, synthetic carpets, non-woven wallpaper, etc.
"Bustilat-D-super" - has enhanced strength. It is specially used if you need to secure heavy materials or for gluing linoleum to a base.
“Bustilat-Lux” - this type is intended for joining polymer materials: PVC film, linoleum, etc.

One type of glue may have different numerical values, which indicate the degree to which the main distinctive property is manifested. Thanks to its varieties, all repair and finishing work can be completely done. It is worth considering that if Bustilat is used for linoleum and other various elements, it will cost much less than other modern substances. This fact remains very important; This glue simply has no competitors in this sector.

Choosing adhesive for ceiling tiles

Finishing with decorative tiles is one of the ways to decorate ceilings. This technology has a number of advantages over classical painting - affordable cost of the material, moisture resistance and soundproofing properties of the tiles, low labor intensity. In addition, finishing the surface with ceiling tiles of the right size with a beautiful convex or embossed pattern looks better than even perfectly executed painting.

Choosing the right ceiling adhesive is important

In addition, decorating ceilings using this technology, unlike painting work, does not require professional skills from the performer and can be done by an amateur finisher. Therefore, the popularity of ceiling tiles as a universal inexpensive finishing material among home craftsmen is great. But the success of using tiles in finishing ceilings depends not only on the quality of the work and the cladding material, but also on the type of adhesive used for the ceiling tiles. Let's consider the factors that influence the choice of adhesive material for this type of cladding.
