GREAT STUFF PRO™ Wall & Floor Adhesive
GREAT STUFF PRO™ Wall & Floor
Adhesive is a heavy-duty adhesive
specially formulated to bond subfloors,
drywall, paneling, foam panels and most
construction materials. Dierent from
traditional adhesives because of its
excellent bonding power on dry, damp
and even frozen lumber, GREAT STUFF
™
PRO
Wall & Floor Adhesive provides
a fast-grab tack and long-term highstrength bond. It bonds to lumber,
plywood, particle board, masonry,
drywall, concrete and foam panels.
It is an ideal choice for anchoring,
joining and stabilizing insulated
concrete forms and structural insulated panels. GREAT STUFF PRO
™
Gaps
& Cracks Insulating Foam Sealant can
be used to seal gaps in the forms and
prevent concrete leakage during the
pouring stage.

Safety and Conditions of Use
• Read the label and Material Safety Data
Sheet carefully before use.
• GREAT STUFF PRO

Wall & Floor
Adhesive contains isocyanate and a
flammable blowing agent. Vapor may
travel to other rooms. Ensure adequate
ventilation. Shut o all pilot lights and
extinguish open flames; eliminate all
sources of ignition before use. Do not
smoke or use lighters or matches while
dispensing foam.
• Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use in
well-ventilated areas or wear proper
respiratory protection. Isocyanate is
irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory system, and may cause sensitization by inhalation or skin contact.
• GREAT STUFF PRO

Wall & Floor
Adhesive is very sticky and will adhere
to most surfaces and skin. Do not get
foam on skin. Wear gloves, and goggles
or safety glasses. Cured foam must be
mechanically removed or allowed to
wear o in time.
• The contents are under pressure. The
can may burst if left in areas susceptible to high temperatures, such as motor
vehicles, or near radiators, stoves or
other sources of heat. Do not lace can in
hot water. Do not puncture, incinerate
or store at temperatures above
120ºF (149ºC).
• GREAT STUFF PRO

Wall & Floor
Adhesive should not be used around
heaters, furnaces, fireplaces, recessed
lighting fixtures or other applications
where the foam may come in contact
with heat-conducting surfaces. GREAT
STUFF PRO
™
foam will burn if exposed
to open flame or sparks from high
energy sources, and it will start to
thermally degrade if exposed to
temperatures above 240ºF (116ºC)
for long periods of time.
Preparation
1. Remove all contaminants (water,
oil, dust, dirt, debris or other loose
materials or release agents) that may
aect the adhesion between the substrates. If in doubt, conduct an adhesion test, waiting at least one hour to
assess the bond.
2. If the surface area has been previously
painted, scrape away all loose or poorly
adhered paint and sand or thoroughly
roughen the surface. Conduct an
adhesion test if any previously painted
surfaces are to be bonded.
3. Whenever possible, allow any concrete
or masonry substrates to completely
cure before bonding.

4. Shake can vigorously for one minute
before dispensing or between uses.
5. Invert can and screw foam dispensing
gun firmly onto valve as shown in
Figure 2. Screw until finger-tight; do
not overtighten (Figure 3).
Figure 2.
Figure 2.
TIP
Using grease or petroleum jelly in
the adapter of the gun can reduce
possibility of foam gluing the can on
the gun.
6. When changing cans, tighten the
flow control knob before removing
the empty can (Figure 4). Use GREAT
STUFF PRO
™
Gun Cleaner to remove
any residual foam from the attachment area before attaching fresh can.
Always replace can immediately. Press
the trigger to fill the foam dispensing
gun with adhesive.
7. Dispense adhesive for 3–6 seconds to
purge air from gun.
Figure 4.
8. To control size of adhesive bead,
squeeze trigger on the foam dispensing gun or adjust the flow control
knob on the back of the gun
(Figure 5).
Application
1. Keeping can inverted, apply a 1/2”
(13 mm) bead of adhesive the full length
of each stud or joist (Figures 6 and 7).
Figure 6.
Figure 7.
TIP
Apply adhesive in a continuous bead,
with no voids or breaks, to achieve
an eective bond.
Figure 3.
Figure 5.
2. Wherever sheet materials butt
together along sistered studs or joists,
dispense two 1/2” (13 mm) beads side
by side or one 1/2” (13 mm) bead in a
zigzag pattern the full length of the
sistered studs or joists (Figures 8
and 9).
3. Clean foam dispensing gun periodically by rubbing the nozzle on soft
wood to free it from adhesive. Do
not use a sharp object to clean foam
dispensing gun. Use a solvent cleaner
such as GREAT STUFF PRO
™
Gun
Cleaner between extended periods
of non-use
4. Adhere substrates within 10 minutes
of dispensing adhesive. If the applied
bead has skinned over, scrape it o
and apply a new bead.
