A2A StixAll Adhesive, a high-strength adhesive that bonds anything to anything in just 10-15 minutes, that’s what A2A StixAll is. It is quick to grip and has a high load-bearing capacity. Also, it can be used on wet surfaces and underwater. It is a natural product with zero odor and VOC compliance. It is an MS Polymer (Modified Silicone Sealant) based product that utilizes Japanese Patented Technology. Only Alstone Industries produces such MS-based polymer products in India.
What is StixAll Adhesive?
StixAll, a strong adhesive, can bond mirror glass and tile to each other, as well as concrete-to-mirror glass, concrete-to-stone, glass mirror-to-concrete, mirror-to-glass, glass mirror-to-tile, glass mirror-to-stone, glass mirror to metal, glass mirror to wood, lacquered to glass, lacquered to concrete, glass lacquered to stone, lacquered to metal and lacquered to wood, etc., metal to steel, concrete to fiberglass, etc. Alstone StixAll can be used to paste mirrors and lacquered glass in kitchen and bathroom fittings.
StixAll Adhesive, a chemically curing adhesive and sealant that is one part, combines the best of both silicone and polyurethane technology. It can be used to adhere the most common building surfaces together.

How To Use Alstone StixAll Adhesive?
PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE
All surfaces should be spotless and free of dust. Surfaces can be damp but not have any standing water. For emergency repairs, it can be submerge in water.
APPLICATION METHOD/TOOLS
- Cartridge – Remove the cartridge’s tip, not damaging the thread. Attach the nozzle to the aperture and use a standard sealant gun to apply.
- Squeezy Pack – Remove the plastic cap. Use a sharp knife or a razor to cut the nozzle into the required aperture. Take the tube out.
- Apply light pressure to the base and continue to apply pressure as needed. Before replacing the cap, remove any extra material.
- Use a standard sealant gun to cut the tip of the cartridge. Then, use a nozzle to cut an opening that will accommodate the desired bead size.
- Use Plasterboard, wall panels, worktops, and other heavy items to bond. Apply adhesive to the entire item’s edge (30-50mm away from the edge). Cover the edges with adhesive beads at 300-mm intervals. You can also apply adhesive directly to the battens and press them.
Note: Always provide temporary support for heavy items until the adhesive dries.
- For bonding lightweight items (covings, skirting, etc.) Apply adhesive to the back of the item using one or two continuous beads. Press immediately into place.
- Mark the areas that need to be fill with thicker glue and place them in these areas.
- Clean up any adhesive residue directly using a cloth or white spirits.
As a sealant
- The recommended joint ratios should be consider. If necessary, reduce common depth with an Alstone Expanding Foam or Joint Backer Rod. Also, make sure that adhesion is only allowed on two surfaces. Three-sided adhesion can limit flexibility.
- Masking tape should always be use when the sealant is use in joint configurations to protect adjacent substrates and create a clean sealing line. You should remove the masking tape immediately.
- After tooling, the joint must be tipped within five minutes to ensure that the sealant adheres to the substrate. The sealant can also be polished with a professional tool.
How to Fix Mirrors
Use 6mm adhesive beads to attach the mirror back in vertical strips. Spaced at 30-40mm centers, apply the strips in 6mm diameter. Place the mirror in its correct position immediately and apply sound, even pressure, using a slight twist action. Tape temporary support until adhesive dries (24-48 hrs). Alstone Stixall can also be use to seal around mirrors 24 hours after they have been fix.
Cleaning Tools
You can remove uncured material by wiping it with a dampened cloth containing white spirit. Mechanical means can be use to remove curled material carefully. Before you can paint again, it is essential to allow the material to cure fully.
