Q:I have a 10" by 42" rubber tread for my exterior wood steps. Biggest question is, will this product adhere to painted wood?

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP Weldwood Original Contact Cement. While the adhesive can be applied over properly prepared painted surfaces, the application as described would likely not be suitable. DAP Weldwood Original Contact Cement is not recommended for use on vinyls and/or soft plastics, as the solvents contained in this formula may cause damage to them. Most stair tread is vinyl composition (not rubber). Because you did not identify what the specific brand/type of stair tread, we cannot guarantee compatibility. At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we can obtain some additional information from you and so that we can provide you with a more definitive recommendation.

Answer This Question
A:Â Roughly 50-100 SQ ft for laminate countertops. Sometimes you need more than one coat so it could vary. I always plan on using a quart for average size kitchen counter tops and I end up with a bit left over.

Been using it for years on EPDM (rubber roof systems). A little heavier bodied than an exclusive rubber roof adhesive but it still works well if you do a smaller area.

I have used contact cement on and off for many years. The first time was in high school shop where We were taught in shop class to use it to attach Formica to wood. The project I used it for this time was to apply some vinyl fabric to plywood and it is what was recomended by the vinyl retailer. I made a new bed cover out of plywood. It came out real well but it would be better if you had help because once the vinyl is applied you can move it. Anyway we are living in an age where there is a huge choice of adhesives on the market which is a good thing but for certain jobs good old fashioned contact cement can't be beat.

Grip pad cane off the base of my wife’s laptop. After some research on what adhesive to use I found this to be the only viable option. Works like a champ and no concerns over breakdown from heat or if I need to remove (for access to battery) in the future.

Worked well for my particular application. I needed to glue the toe-kick boards that go with the new, big-box kitchen cabinets we installed, into place. In our situation, the ceramic floor tile in the kitchen was installed after the original cabinets. So, when we pulled the originals and installed the new ones, the tile did not span all the way to base of the new cabinets, leaving a 1 1/2" gap. We furred out the new cabinets' toe-kicks with 2x4s cut to length and screwed into the base of the cabinets with deck screws. We then used this contact cement on both the 2x4s and toe-kick board's backs per instructions and pressed them into place. They're now secure with no visible means of attachment--a job well done.

I used Weldwood contact cement to glue rubber bumpers to Oak pool table rails. We have been using the table for a couple weeks now and there is no sign of the glue failing.
It worked better than expected and it was just the right amount that I didn't have to store any leftovers.
