  • High strength contact adhesive

  • Designed specifically for high load baring

  • 500ml Can only supplied with our SM20 panels

SM20 glue is a very high strength contact adhesive, designed specifically where high load baring ability is necessary. SM20 panels weigh 15kg each, so it is vital the correct adhesive is used.

Product Application

The following steps are a guide - please follow the exact instruction on the adhesive's packaging as they may vary from batch to batch.

  • Shake can thoroughly before use.
  • For best results, the ambient temperature should be 70°F/21°C and properly conditioned. Note at higher ambient temperatures the tack time of the adhesive is much faster.
  • We do not recommend fitting in temperatures above 82°F as fast tack times may result in poor bonding.
  • Ensure all surfaces to be bonded are free from dirt, oil, grease, dust, and any other material that may affect the bond.
  • If applicable, adjust the nozzle by turning to the largest spray pattern which is usually the third symbol to the right looking at the top of the can and near the base of the nozzle.
  • Hold the can 6 to 8 inches away from surface and apply in even coats making sure the adhesive 'webs' across the surface.
  • Take care not to use too much adhesive or you may run out before the end of the job.
  • Do not hold closer than 6 inches or 'wet' the surface. It is important a web pattern is obtained and at least 80% of the surface is covered.
  • Spray both the back of the SM20 panel, and the party wall. One surface should be sprayed in a vertical pattern and the other in a horizontal.
  • Do not concentrate in one spot or allow to puddle.
  • Once both surfaces have been coated, bond the SM20 panel directly to the wall with a firm, even pressure.
  • Tack time can vary depending on climate conditions and may well be shorter or none at all if it is warm
  • In warm conditions, the adhesive may go off before bonding commences if too much time is taken before bonding the two surfaces together. Don’t delay!
  • It is important that good pressure is applied to ensure a firm bond is obtained. A roller may help.
  • Although our adhesive is low odour, it is still advised that where the work is being conducted is well ventilated with a window open if possible.
  • A mask should be worn when spraying the adhesive.
  • The adhesive should be stored at room temperatures (15° - 21°C).
  • Occasionally, for various reasons, problems may be encountered bonding the product to the wall. When this occurs, mechanical fixings can be used in addition to the adhesive as follows:
  • If fixing to plasterboard faced timber stud, additional normal wire nails hammered well into the insulation so the heads are below the panel surface work well. In these cases use only sufficient nails to secure the insulation effectively.
  • When fixing to masonry walls nail guns can be used to fire nails through the insulation, or alternatively, masonry nails combined with battens can be used, but these must be removed when the adhesive has cured to allow a flush fit for the next layer.

Extremely helpful

I called Soundstop with lots of questions and the person I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I ended up purchasing soundproofed plasterboards and genie clip system from them

Stud wall method

Two alcoves with independent stud walls built and insulation/clips installed.
The result? It works, was sceptical it would,so it was a gamble, sound reduced from neighbours is 70% less and now feel like our semi detached house is more like a fully detached! I’m glad I did it, took me 2 days in total.

Fantastic service and advice.

All products for a LB2 soundproof ceiling are as expected and delivered on time. The advice given before ordering and before installation was second to none. The guys at soundstop really care that your project goes well. Can't recommend them enough!

Perfect as usual; great products.

From query to delivery always a pleasure to do business with. Can recommend enough. We have used both the standard and advanced (sbx) sm20 systems and they have both made a huge difference in a mid terraced house.

Wall Insulation

All-round excellent service. Had a phonecall to confirm order minutes after making it online & had further calls keeping me updated on delivery. Very friendly & were more than happy to give some advice when needed.
Genie clips & bars were simple to install & there's good articles on the website for reference. Haven't heard anything from my neighbours yet!

Outstanding!

I don’t think in nearly 23 years I’ve ever dealt with a company so efficient, knowledgeable and helpful! Delivery was very quick. When I needed some technical assistance, Jim was more than helpful. So much so that I felt I should’ve paid him a consultancy fee! Such a pleasure to do business with Soundshield. Amazing!

Very helpful and exceedingly helpful

My experience of phoning Soundstop for general help with soundproofing and specific help with their products has been a unique experience. A genuine desire to help backed up with the actual knowledge to be so.

I just wish all support calls could be so fruitful.

Thank you

We had great telephone support whilst choosing the product. We bought Tecsound 70 which was easy to fit ( following the good instructions ) It is a great product and seems to work well. The carpet fitter was amazed by it and the shop are now interested in knowing more! Would recommend both Stopsound and the product
