Evo-Stik Gripfill Green Solvented Construction Adhesive 350ml

Evo-Stik Gripfill is one of the most widely used gripfill adhesives on UK building sites, and for good reason. It offers strong initial grab and lasting adhesion across a broad range of solid building materials, all from a single 350ml tube that fits a standard skeleton gun. Whether you are fixing skirting boards, securing plasterboard, or bonding electrical conduit to a wall, Gripfill gets the job done without fuss.

The solvent-based formula is what gives Gripfill its characteristic grab speed. Once applied and the surfaces are briefly left to tack, the bond develops quickly, which reduces the need for extended propping or clamping. That matters on a busy site where you want things fixed and moving on. This is the original green Gripfill — the solvented version — which has been a trade standard for decades and remains the preferred choice for many builders and joiners working with dense or porous building materials.

Where Evo-Stik Gripfill Adhesive Gets Used

Gripfill is at home in general construction and joinery work. It performs well on both porous and semi-porous substrates, and the solvent formula gives it a strong affinity for denser materials where water-based adhesives can struggle to get a grip.

The adhesive works across a wide range of applications: fixing skirting boards and architrave, bonding plasterboard to timber or masonry, securing electrical conduit runs, and adhering stone, brick, and block to compatible surfaces. It also bonds ferrous and non-ferrous metals, which makes it useful for fixing metal trim, brackets, and channel sections in situations where mechanical fixings alone are not practical.

A Note on Surface Prep

Like any contact-type construction adhesive, Gripfill gives its best results on clean, sound, dry surfaces. Dusty, wet, or flaking substrates will compromise the bond, and no amount of extra adhesive will compensate for a poorly prepared surface. A quick brush-down takes ten seconds and saves a callback.

Gripfill is applied with a standard skeleton or sausage gun. For most fixing jobs, a continuous bead or a series of dabs at regular intervals is sufficient. Once applied, allow the adhesive to tack off for a short period before bringing the surfaces together with firm pressure. The tack-off time can vary depending on temperature and the absorbency of the substrate, so on cold days or with dense non-porous materials, allow a little longer before joining.

At 350ml per tube and available in boxes of twelve, Gripfill is a practical stock item for merchants and contractors alike. The price point makes it a sensible everyday adhesive rather than something kept back for special occasions — which is exactly how a gripfill adhesive should work. If you need a general-purpose grab adhesive that has a track record stretching back further than most of the people using it, Gripfill is a straightforward choice.
