Types of Gypsum Adhesive
Most often, gypsum composition is produced in the form of a dry powder substance, but you can also find ready-to-use gypsum adhesive in our store. The mixture is extremely convenient for application. To enhance the adhesion possibility, special substances are added to the key elements of the content, which not only increase the binding properties but also allow for longer work with the adhesive.
For example, if you are considering what to glue gypsum board with, it is necessary to examine in more detail the different types of packaging of gypsum adhesive, which include a composition with silica sand. It is important to note that the quantity and types of additives in gypsum adhesive affect the product's properties and prices.
You can assess the effectiveness of the product by the amount of water needed to mix the adhesive. This value is usually indicated on the product packaging. For example, if it is specified that 300 ml of water is needed for one kilogram of the mixture, it proves that a small amount of gypsum is present in the content, which is why its adhesive properties are reduced.

Preparing Gypsum Adhesives
As made clear in the paragraphs above, it is better for gypsum adhesive to be in powdered form. Mix the mixture with water in a suitable container. First, water should be poured into the container, to which gypsum adhesive is gradually added. It is recommended to mix the composition carefully, so it is advisable to stir with a suitable mixer.
As a result, a mixture resembling sour cream should be obtained, with no lumps. It is not recommended to add other components to the adhesive. Make sure that the container used for preparing the mixture is absolutely clean.
