Create a durable, water-resistant bond instantly with our Contact Cement. This powerful adhesive is an industry standard that provides a permanent bond between two materials. We use this product daily in the Sax ProShop to securely attach materials such as Cork, Tech Cork, Felt, Teflon, Ultra-Suede, Sorbothane, and Neoprene to key feet, tone holes, tenons, necks, and more! Use the brush provided to evenly coat each surface with Contact Cement. Then let both parts sit for 5-10 minutes until they are almost completely dry to the touch. Once the contact cement has dried, carefully press the two surfaces together. Once the coated pieces go together they will instantly form a permanent bond.

Sold in two convenient sizes with brush caps.

Always be sure to seal your contact cement bottle tightly after use as continued exposure to air will cause it to thicken and dry up. Thin with Toluene.
