Sticks Like Sh*T All Weather Polymer Adhesive – Evostik

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.
