PVA’s have shorter shelf lives so will lose their ability to give a good bond the older they become. Ureka Global have two One Shot or Cascamite type wood adhesives which are the Aerolite UP4145, and the Woodstikk one shot powder adhesive. Please note: this is the brand new Ureka Cascamite formula, tried and tested, we can confirm that this version has been vastly improved and is as good as, if not better, than the original formula which was loved by many.

The powder system enables extremely good gap filling properties ensuring water does not enter the joint and produces the strongest bond.
