GREAT STUFF PRO™ Wall &
Floor Adhesive is a heavy-duty
adhesive specially formulated to
bond subfloors, drywall, paneling,
foam panels and most construction
materials. Different from traditional
adhesives because of its excellent
bonding power on dry, damp and
even frozen lumber, GREAT STUFF
PRO™ Wall & Floor Adhesive
provides a fast-grab tack and
long-term high-strength bond. It
bonds to lumber, plywood, particle
board, masonry, drywall, concrete
and foam panels. It is an ideal
choice for anchoring, joining and
stabilizing insulated concrete forms
and structural insulated panels.
GREAT STUFF PRO™ Gaps & Cracks
Insulating Foam Sealant can be used
to seal gaps in the forms and prevent
concrete leakage during the pouring
stage.
Materials Checklist
• GREAT STUFF PRO™ Wall & Floor

Safety and
Conditions
of Use
• Read the label and Material Safety
Data Sheet carefully before use.
• GREAT STUFF PRO™ Wall
& Floor Adhesive contains
isocyanate and a flammable
blowing agent. Vapor may travel
to other rooms. Ensure adequate
ventilation. Shut off all pilot lights
and extinguish open flames;
eliminate all sources of ignition
before use. Do not smoke or
use lighters or matches while
dispensing foam.
• Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use
in well-ventilated areas or wear
proper respiratory protection.
Isocyanate is irritating to the
eyes, skin and respiratory system,
and may cause sensitization by
inhalation or skin contact.
• GREAT STUFF PRO™ Wall &
Floor Adhesive is very sticky
and will adhere to most surfaces
and skin. Do not get foam on
skin. Wear gloves, and goggles
or safety glasses. Cured foam
must be mechanically removed or
allowed to wear off in time.
• The contents are under pressure.
The can may burst if left in areas
susceptible to high temperatures,
such as motor vehicles, or near
radiators, stoves or other sources
of heat. Do not lace can in hot
water. Do not puncture, incinerate
or store at temperatures above
120ºF (149ºC).
• GREAT STUFF PRO™ Wall &
Floor Adhesive should not be
used around heaters, furnaces,
fireplaces, recessed lighting
fixtures or other applications
where the foam may come in
contact with heat-conducting
surfaces. GREAT STUFF PRO™
foam will burn if exposed to
open flame or sparks from high-
energy sources, and it will start
to thermally degrade if exposed
to temperatures above 240ºF
(116ºC) for long periods of time.
Preparation
1. Remove all contaminants (water,
oil, dust, dirt, debris or other loose
materials or release agents) that
may affect the adhesion between
the substrates. If in doubt,
conduct an adhesion test, waiting
at least one hour to assess the
bond.
2. If the surface area has been
previously painted, scrape away
all loose or poorly adhered paint
and sand or thoroughly roughen
the surface. Conduct an adhesion
test if any previously painted
surfaces are to be bonded.
3. Whenever possible, allow any
concrete or masonry substrates to
completely cure before bonding.
4. Shake can vigorously for one
minute before dispensing or
between uses.
5. Invert can and screw foam
dispensing gun firmly onto valve
as shown in Figure 2. Screw until
finger-tight; do not overtighten
(Figure 3).
TIP: Using grease or petroleum jelly
in the adapter of the gun can reduce
possibility of foam gluing the can on
the gun.
