Say goodbye to nails

GlooIt Zero Nails is a great new product that makes hanging things so much easier and cleaner.

We all love adorning our spaces with cherished memories, whether it’s displaying family photos or hanging certificates in our offices, but the process of drilling holes into walls can be a hassle. There is a simpler, faster alternative. Enter GlooIt Zero Nails, a fantastic new product that eliminates the need for nails, screws, drilling, as well as the resulting dust.

Zero Nails is a single-component, high-strength sealant that offers rapid initial tack and is odourless. It’s versatile too and can be used for both interior and exterior applications – it even sets underwater. It can be used on a number of surfaces, such as metals, glass, wood, concrete and gypsum- cornices, as well as skirting boards. And with a remarkable holding power of 300 kg per square meter once dried, it is excellent for hanging accessories and decorations.

Zero Nails is available in two pack sizes: the first is a 290 ml tube designed for use with a caulking gun, while the second is a convenient 90 g tube with a screw lid. The smaller tube is perfect for quick tasks where less adhesive is needed.

The application process is straightforward: start by ensuring that the surfaces you are joining are free of dust, oil and grease. If using the 290 ml tube, load it into a caulking gun and then snip off the tip of the tube nozzle. If you’re using the smaller tube, simply open it. Apply the adhesive to the joining surfaces, making sure that you achieve even coverage. It’s recommended to leave a gap between each bead to allow air to pass through, which aids in full curing strength.

Once the adhesive has been applied, position the surfaces and press them firmly together, holding them this way for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to bond. The initial tack time is only a few seconds and full curing occurs after 24 hours.

Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast, a professional contractor, or simply looking for a reliable hanging solution, GlooIt Zero Nails is a must-have addition to your toolbox. You can find all GlooIt products, including Zero Nails, at Builders, both in-store and conveniently online at builders.co.za.
