Evo-Stik Sticks Like Sh*t is a high-strength polymer adhesive built for conditions that would defeat ordinary grab adhesives. It bonds to wet surfaces, cures underwater, and handles the temperature swings and movement that come with exterior work in the UK. The name is crude but the product delivers this is a genuine all-weather adhesive that earns its place in the van.
The hybrid polymer formula grips porous and non-porous materials with equal confidence. Wood, metal, concrete, brick, ceramic, glass, most plastics the list of what it won’t stick to is shorter than what it will. That flexibility makes it genuinely useful across trades. Joiners, roofers, bathroom fitters and general builders all find uses for it because it removes the guesswork about whether an adhesive will work on a particular substrate.
Why Tradespeople Reach For This One
The solvent-free formula means no aggressive fumes in enclosed spaces, which matters when you’re fitting out a bathroom or kitchen with the client hovering nearby. It also means the bond stays flexible once cured, accommodating the natural movement of materials without cracking or losing grip. That flexibility is what separates polymer adhesives from rigid alternatives that fail when substrates expand and contract.
Being able to apply in wet conditions is not just a marketing claim it genuinely changes what jobs you can tackle and when. Fixing external trim in drizzle, bonding to damp concrete that will never fully dry, or even making repairs to pond liners and water features. The underwater curing capability is not something you will use every day, but when you need it, nothing else will do.
Practical Considerations
Available in white or clear, with the clear version useful where squeeze-out might show on finished work. The 290ml cartridge fits standard skeleton guns, so no special equipment required. Initial grab is strong enough to reduce the need for temporary fixings on vertical surfaces, though heavy items may still benefit from support while the adhesive cures fully.
Pro Tip: Apply in continuous beads rather than dots for load-bearing bonds gives you more surface contact and a stronger final fix.
This adhesive suits jobs where conventional fixings are impractical or where you need a bond that tolerates movement and moisture. Common applications include fixing skirting boards and architraves, bonding wall panels and cladding, securing mirrors and heavy decorative items, and installing trim and mouldings. It works equally well on interior fit-outs and exterior projects like fixing house numbers, letter boxes, and external trim. Bathroom and kitchen installers use it for splashbacks and panels where drilling is not ideal. The underwater curing makes it useful for pond repairs and marine applications.

Interior and exterior use
Strong initial grab
Not suitable for: Not recommended for PE, PP or PTFE plastics, bituminous surfaces, or materials that may bleed oils or plasticisers. Avoid using on substrates intended for painting until full cure.
Apply to clean, dust-free surfaces for best adhesion. Cut the cartridge nozzle at an angle and load into a standard skeleton gun. Apply in beads or zigzag patterns depending on the substrate size. Press materials firmly together and reposition within ten minutes if needed. Support heavy items until initial grab takes hold. Full cure typically takes 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature and humidity.
Clean both surfaces to remove dust, grease and loose material
Cut the nozzle at 45 degrees to suit your bead width
Apply adhesive in continuous beads spaced 50mm apart
Press surfaces firmly together within 10 minutes of application
Support heavy items with tape or temporary fixings until cured
Can I paint over Sticks Like Sh*t once it has cured?
Yes, the cured adhesive can be painted with most paints once fully hardened. Allow at least 48 hours cure time before painting. Test compatibility on a small area first with specialist paints.
How long does the adhesive take to fully cure?
Full cure takes 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature, humidity and joint thickness. Initial grab is strong within minutes, but avoid stressing the bond until fully cured.
Will it stick to damp concrete?
Yes, this is one of its main advantages. It bonds to wet and damp surfaces including green concrete, making it useful where surfaces cannot be fully dried before fixing.
What is the difference between white and clear versions?
The formulas perform identically. Clear is useful where squeeze-out might be visible on finished work, such as glass or transparent plastics. White blends better with painted surfaces and standard building materials.
Does it work on external jobs in cold weather?
Yes, it remains workable and cures in temperatures from 5°C to 40°C. Avoid applying in direct rain during initial cure, though it tolerates damp conditions better than most adhesives.
A hybrid polymer adhesive based on silyl-modified polymer technology. The solvent-free formula produces a permanently flexible bond that accommodates substrate movement without cracking. Resistant to UV exposure, ageing and temperature cycling from -40°C to +100°C once cured. Suitable for structural and non-structural bonding applications in construction, fitting and marine environments.
