It is good

bad quality glue, my suggestion is to not buy this product

If you've come to this product listing looking for Bostik contact adhesive, then you've found it. Congratulations! If you're just generally looking for glue and don't know what Bostik contact adhesive is then product reviews are probably not the best place to start looking. If you want to know what glue to use for what purpose, go and look at a specialist website or look it up in a book. On the other hand, if you want to know what *not* to use this glue for, go and look at some of the one or two star reviews for this product and marvel at what people expect contact adhesive to do. Obviously Bostik is a well-known brand, and it's been around for a while, even though this newer 'dark' packaging is trying to look very serious and stylish in a way that no glue should ever really need to. Glue is not stylish or fashionable — I say the brighter and more ridiculous the packaging is, the more likely I'm going to be to buy it. This packaging is much more likely to get lost at the bottom of a toolbox or hidden on a dark shelf in the garage than any previous version, which seems like a bit of a silly move to me. Anyway, I realise I'm on my third (short) paragraph and haven't even reviewed the glue itself. All I really need to say is that the contact adhesive works exactly as expected and sticks well. Once you're past the (lack of) colour, the tube is precisely good enough to be useful and the price is simply what it is. Good value? It seems to be worth it and I'll probably buy it again when I've run out. If that doesn't seal it for you, then nothing will. Now go and read some of those negative reviews. They're probably more fun than this one anyway.

does what it needs to

Magic stuff. Just make sure you keep the pieces apart and it will stick solid. Doesnt really like porous surfaces ( brick etc ) without lots of glue , but nothing is perfect.

I use this glue for various jobs and always have a tube at home. It is easy to use. Dries fairly quickly and allows enough time before it sets. It is pretty strong but it does depend on the material you use it on. All in all, good stuff.

Good contact cement, sticks my leather projects like.....well....glue. The only issue is if you're using it on precision projects as the glue is very runny for contact cement, even the slightest upturn of the tube will resemble a 5 year olds nose on a cold January morning
