People who have decorated should be no stranger to glass glue, which can be said to be an "artifact" in decoration, which can not only bond some decoration materials, but also caulk and close are also very easy to use.

However, many people fall into a "misunderstanding", that is, they think that one glass glue can hit all the gaps.In fact, different gaps need to be beaten with different glue. Otherwise, it is easy to turn yellow and black.

In this issue, let's talk about the correct use of glass glue in decoration, if you haven't decorated yet, don't choose the wrong one.Especially the glass glue brought by the decoration workers, don't take advantage of this small bargain.

1. What are the classifications of glass glue?

In fact, in terms of properties, glass glue can be divided into acidic and neutral.The former has good viscosity and fast curing, but the taste is relatively pungent and contains formaldehyde, which is very unenvironmentally friendly. The latter has no formaldehyde addition, but the curing speed is relatively slow, and it usually takes 3~0 days to dry thoroughly.

Therefore, from the perspective of environmental protection, home decoration must use neutral glass glue.

If you smell the pungent smell of glass glue at home, then it means that the decorator has used acidic glass glue. After all, this glue is cheap and the curing effect is very remarkable.

2. How to choose neutral glass glue?

It is believed that there are many families where the glass glue caulking has yellowing, mildew, and falling off. The core reason is that the glass glue is not selected correctly.Combined with the family scene, we generally use the following three kinds of glass glue in decoration.

(1) Anti-scabine

As the name suggests, it has the effect of mildew prevention, and the mildew prevention effect is divided into "0~0" 0 grades, and the family chooses the highest grade 0 mildew resistance, and the durability will be longer.

In addition, some brands of glass glue are also divided into 12 times/0 times/0 times mildew prevention effect on the basis of 0 mildew resistance, which is not said to be an IQ tax, but the price will definitely be higher, just choose carefully.

Usage Scenarios :

Mainly for wet and often water-exposed kitchen and bathroom areas,For example, in the gaps of cabinets, countertops, vegetable sinks, bathrooms, shower rooms, etc., you can use anti-mold glue to fill the joints to avoid the problem of blackening and mildew due to moisture.

The colors of the anti-mold glue are usually clear, porcelain white and gray. As long as one side of the gap is made of white material, you can use porcelain white, and the effect will not be bad. If the sides are made of other colors, then use a transparent one.

(2) Beauty cream

In fact, the gaps in most scenes at home can be filled with anti-mildew glue. It's just that for the appearance party, the color of the anti-mildew glue is too single and has no decoration.

Therefore, if you want the cracks in your home to really "disappear", beauty gel is a very good choice.

Compared with anti-mildew glue, its biggest highlight is that it has a variety of colors, which can be matched with furniture materials of different materials and colors, so that the gaps "disappear completely", and it also has an anti-mildew effect.

In addition, the elongation of beauty glue is also relatively good, and there is a certain flexibility after curing, which can effectively prevent cracking, so it is also called "mouth sealing glue and edge banding glue".

Usage Scenarios :

Generally, the gaps in contact with the latex paint wall can be filled with beauty glue.For example, baseboards, door and window covers, custom furniture, wall coverings, wainscoting and other gaps can be closed with beauty glue to make the space look more beautiful and whole.

(3) Weather-resistant

Weather-resistant adhesive, also known as weather-resistant sealant, has aging resistance, is not afraid of the sun, has good viscosity, and has a certain elasticity. The appearance is similar to that of structural adhesives, but the functions of the two are completely different.

Although this glue is generally used for glass curtain walls, metals, exterior walls, aluminum alloys and other materials, it can also be used in home decoration and is easy to be overlooked.

Usage Scenarios :

1) Sun room/aluminum alloy doors and windows

As we all know, when installing sunrooms and enclosed balconies, installers generally use structural adhesive to caulk and seal the edges.

Although the structural adhesive also has strong adhesive properties, it has weak anti-aging and anti-deformation capabilities, and it is easy to crack and age after long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays, and then water seepage.

Therefore, the gaps in the outer wall of the sun room or closed balcony are best filled with weather-resistant adhesive.It can effectively avoid water seepage and leakage due to aging and cracking.

2) Balcony cabinets

If the balcony at home has good lighting, in addition to the window frames should be filled with weather-resistant glue, such as the gaps of balcony cabinets and laundry tables, it is also best to use weather-resistant glue to fill the gaps, so as to delay aging and ensure aesthetics.

Write at the end:

Glass glue, although it is an inconspicuous small material in the home, plays a great role in decoration. Therefore, when we decorate, try to buy different glues according to different locations, and don't be greedy for cheap glue brought by decoration workers.

In addition to this, the brand of glass glue is also important. For example, Sika, Dow Corning, Wacker, and JCDecaux are all very good. One thing to note is that if you don't have a large budget, don't buy expensive, the basic one is enough.
