Everbuild Maximum Torque is a high-strength hybrid polymer adhesive that bonds almost anything to anything, indoors or out. Works on damp surfaces, cures flexible, and doubles the initial grab of most standard grab adhesives.
Everbuild Maximum Torque is one of those products that genuinely earns its name. Built on a next-generation hybrid PA polymer technology, this 300ml adhesive delivers initial grab that is typically double what you get from a standard grab adhesive — which in practice means less propping, less waiting, and more getting on with the job. If you have ever had to wedge a bit of batten under a panel while the glue catches up, Maximum Torque is the answer to that particular frustration.
The formula bonds to an exceptional range of surfaces without primers: metal, glass, wood, concrete, plaster, plasterboard, most plastics, Perspex, fibreglass, enamel, painted surfaces, polyester and masonry. It is fully waterproof and can be applied to damp surfaces or even underwater, which makes it genuinely useful on external work and in conditions that would defeat lesser products. Temperature resistance runs from -40°C to +150°C, so it holds up whether it is baking in a south-facing conservatory or freezing on a north-facing gable end.
What Makes Maximum Torque Worth Using
Once cured, Everbuild Maximum Torque sets to a tough, permanently flexible rubber that accommodates movement of up to 12.5% — useful anywhere you have expansion, vibration, or structural flex. It is solvent-free and odourless, so working in enclosed spaces is not an issue, and it can be overpainted once cured. It also functions as a sealant, meaning it handles perimeter sealing around doors and windows, jointing cladding, and gap filling in one product rather than two.
Brick slip installations, mirror and splashback bonding, automotive sealing, fibreglass repairs, mobile structures like caravans and boats — the list of practical uses is long. As a nail-free adhesive replacement it performs well, even where surfaces are damp from recent rain or condensation. A solid, no-nonsense option for tradespeople who need high-strength bonding without fussing over conditions.
Pro Tip: On cold days, warm the cartridge in your jacket pocket for 10 minutes before use — Maximum Torque flows and grabs better at temperature, and cold polymer straight from the van can be sluggish out of the nozzle.
Maximum Torque is used across a wide range of trade applications where a high-strength, weatherproof bond is needed without the complications of primers or ideal surface conditions. It is well established in brick slip installation, mirror and splashback fixing, cladding panel jointing, and perimeter sealing around doors and windows. Roofers, joiners, general builders, and automotive fitters all find a use for it. It performs particularly well where surfaces may be damp or where the finished joint needs to flex without cracking — external canopies, boat fittings, caravans, and conservatory frames are all typical situations.

No primer required on most surfaces
Not suitable for: Not suitable for polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or PTFE surfaces, which require specialist adhesive systems. Not recommended where continuous full water immersion is the primary use case rather than weatherproofing.
Cut the nozzle to the required bead size and fit to a standard 300ml sealant gun. Apply an even bead to one surface and press firmly into place. On smooth or non-porous surfaces, apply to both faces and allow a brief open time of a minute or two before bringing them together for improved initial grab.
Temporary support is usually not needed given the fast initial grab, but on heavy items in warm conditions it is worth holding pressure for 30 to 60 seconds to confirm the bond has taken. Full cure takes 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature and joint thickness. The product skins over relatively quickly, so work at a pace that lets you position accurately before the grab kicks in.
Check surfaces are clean, dry or only lightly damp, and free from loose material, oil or grease
Cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to suit the bead size required
Fit the cartridge to a 300ml skeleton gun and prime the plunger until adhesive reaches the nozzle
Apply a continuous bead to one surface, or to both surfaces for a stronger initial bond on dense or smooth substrates
On both-surface applications, allow a short open time of 60 to 90 seconds before joining
Press the surfaces firmly together and hold or support for 30 to 60 seconds
Remove any excess adhesive with a damp cloth before it skins — once cured it is much harder to remove cleanly
Allow 24 to 48 hours for full cure before loading the joint or painting over
Can Maximum Torque really be used on wet or damp surfaces?
Yes. The hybrid polymer formula adheres to damp surfaces and can even be applied underwater in some situations. This makes it useful for external work in UK weather conditions where you cannot always wait for surfaces to dry fully. Clean the surface of loose debris first regardless — damp is fine, dirty is not.
Is Maximum Torque suitable for brick slip installation?
Yes, it is specifically mentioned as suitable for brick slip installation. The high initial grab reduces the need for temporary support while the bond develops, and the weatherproof, flexible cure means it holds up well in external applications where thermal movement is a factor.
Can I use Maximum Torque as a sealant as well as an adhesive?
Yes. Once cured it forms a tough, flexible rubber seal, so it can handle perimeter sealing around doors and windows, joint sealing on cladding, and gap filling in the same application. It is overpaintable too, which is useful where a neat finish is needed.
Everbuild Maximum Torque is formulated on a hybrid PA (polyamide) polymer base, which gives it properties that neither pure silicone nor standard MS polymer adhesives achieve alone. The solvent-free system cures by moisture reaction to a permanently elastic rubber. It is chemically resistant to petrol, 10% dilute acids, alkalis, and most common solvents, and maintains performance across a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.
