Should I switch off my Tuskbond canister between uses?

Canisters can be left with the valves open, connected to a gun and hose system for up to 2 weeks (ensuring the gun trigger is locked off to prevent accidental spraying). Turning the canister valve off over this period can cause adhesive to cure in the hose causing blockages. If the canisters are to be left unused for over 2 weeks, then it is recommended that the gun and hose system is cleaned using the Tuskbond GC22 canister cleaning system.

My canister is not spraying correctly, what could be the problem?

99% of issues can be attributed to the spray tip of the gun. Over time this tip will build up with residue and the flow of adhesive will be restricted or stopped altogether. To alleviate this problem, the tip can be cleaned after use using a Tuskbond GC22 aerosol or similar solvent cleaner. In extreme cases, the tip can be replaced.

How can I determine if my spray tip is clogged?

Remove the tip from the gun using a spanner then spray the canister onto some scrap material. Take care, as without the tip the adhesive flow could be powerful. If the canister sprays with a strong jet, then your tip needs to be replaced or cleaned.

How do I remove overspray of adhesive?

Tuskbond GC22 or SC12 can be used to clean some overspray. Alternatively, overspray of adhesive can be removed using white spirit or another similar solvent. Always ensure that the product will not damage the surface being cleaned beforehand. Test before use.

Yes, Tuskbond One and Tuskbond G500 canisters are both Class 0 fire rated. To download the certificate, please visit the relevant product pages. We are constantly updating the testing and certification for our products, so watch this space.

Will my gun and hose fit your canister?

All universal gun and hoses should fit Tuskbond canisters. Always clean a gun and hose through (see Tuskbond GC22) before swapping between different adhesives as interactions between adhesives could cause blockages.
