SRW Retaining Wall & Paver Adhesive has been around the block when it comes to a name that contractors ask for. It is formulated especially for masonry, concrete, brick, block, pavers and common landscaping materials. SRW Adhesives provide a fast, secure method of bonding retaining wall block, steps, corners and coping for commercial and residential walls and pavers — even on wet, frozen or damp surfaces. SRW Retaining Wall and Paver Adhesive comes in standard and VOC compliant formulas.

Directions
1. Surfaces should be clean and free from oil,
grease, excessive water, ice or any other
material which may deter adhesion.
2. Cut tip on slant for 1/4" or 3/8" bead. Puncture
inner seal with nail or wire. Place cartridge in a
caulking gun.
3. Apply adhesive with the caulking gun to only one
of the surfaces to be joined. Apply in a continuous
bead to ensure complete coverage. Apply no
more adhesive than you can cover in 20 minutes.
4. Press surfaces together firmly. For faster curing,
lift up top product and immediately reposition. Do
not smear adhesive.
5. Vertical or slanted applications may require
additional bracing until adhesive has dried.
6. Allow 48-hour cure time and 4-5 days before
walking on any steps or heavy traffic areas.

CLEANUP
• Scrape off dried excess adhesive with a putty
knife. Remove residue with mineral spirits. (Note:
Test cleaning solvent on an out-of-way area to
make sure it will not mar the surface to be
cleaned.) Storage life: More than 12 months in
tightly closed container

USER TIPS
• On tumbled products, make sure surface is clean
of any dust, dirt or material that may deter proper
adhesion. We recommend using a 3/8" bead.
• On grooved materials, make sure you have a full
positive connection of adhesive to both surfaces.
• Best if applied at temperatures above 10ºF.
• Do not use below the waterline or for continuous
submersion. Not recommended for fiberglass,
rubber, plastic or foam.

GUIDELINES
Application Temperatures: 0º - 120º F, for adhesives and substrates Method of application: Cartridge/caulking gun. Due to fast-drying characteristics, it is not practical to apply by trowel. Strong initial tack allows light pieces to be bonded with only momentary pressure.
Working time: About 30 minutes for 1/4" bead.
