Glue and Glue Guns

All Bolt Products are designed and tested for use with polyester glue and achieve exceptional results.

This is the most economical high performance construction glue available and all our tests and certification is carried out using this (most of our competitors use and sell epoxy at around four times the price.)

Vinylester resins are available which have a better chemical resistance but a negligable performance advantage.

Our glue is manufactured and supplied by one of Europes leading chemical fastening systems companies and is fully certified for anchor bonding.
We supply a styrene-free resin with a slightly slower (ca 7mins @ 20°C) gel time. The standard (fast) products can be difficult to work with if the temperatures are high and for normal climbing applications this increased gel and cure time will not be relevant.

Glue Quantities.


We can naturally give the theoretical requirements for a bolt/hole combination but additional to this there is the wastage priming the mixer nozzles, nozzle change, the excess per hole, the glue on your hands, clothes, hair etc, and other wastages. For example;- our standard 6mm x 80mm bolt theoretically needs 5,7 ml of glue, in practice we get around 25 to 30 bolts per 380ml cartridge which works out at 12 to 15ml per bolt, mainly depending on whether we used a complete tube in one session or had to change nozzles.
As a rough guide:-
6 x 80mm bolt - 25 per cartridge
6 x 100 23
6 x 150 20
8 x 80 20
8x 100 17
8x 150 15

Polyester Glue

We supply our adhesive in 380ml coaxial tubes which require a special larger frame gun as is common in the construction industry. Naturally we stock these at a very competetive price. The smaller cartridges to fit a normal gun are not popular with experienced bolters as once opened the contents must be used up, the larger tubes can be re-capped and stored.

Gel time @ 20°C- 7 mins.

Min. cure time @ 20°C- 1,5hrs

Tubes are supplied with TWO mixer nozzles each.
