Fevicol Marine vs HeatX vs SH vs ProBond: Which Adhesive for Which Job?

Short answer:

Job	Adhesive
Wood joints in dry rooms	Fevicol SH
Kitchen, bathroom, anything near water	Fevicol Marine
Laminate near the gas stove or chimney	Fevicol HeatX
Acrylic and PVC sheets	Fevicol ProBond

The right adhesive decides how long furniture lasts

You can buy good plywood and good laminate and still see the laminate lift or a joint open within months, because the wrong adhesive was used. Each Fevicol product has its own job; using one tub everywhere is the most common mistake.

Fevicol SH: general woodwork

• Normal wood-to-wood joints in dry areas
• Bedroom furniture, wardrobes, study tables, beds
• Not for places that get wet

This is the carpenter's everyday adhesive.

Fevicol Marine: waterproof work

• Kitchens, bathrooms and anywhere water or damp reaches
• Sink cabinets, vanities, balcony furniture
• The right partner for BWR and BWP plywood

If you've paid for waterproof plywood and the joints are made with ordinary adhesive, the joint is where it fails. Wet area = Marine. Pair it with BWP and marine plywood.

Fevicol HeatX: hot areas

• Pasting laminate near the gas stove and chimney
• Wherever heat could soften an ordinary adhesive

Use HeatX on the shutters and side panels around the hob, and the laminate is far less likely to lift.

Fevicol ProBond: acrylic and PVC sheets

• For pasting acrylic sheets and PVC sheets (a high-grab adhesive)
• High-gloss acrylic shutters, PVC panels

Ordinary wood glue doesn't grip acrylic or PVC well; these need an adhesive like ProBond. See acrylic sheets.

HeatX vs ProBond: which one?

People often search for these two together because both are used for laminate-type work. The difference is the material and the place:

• HeatX is for laminate in hot areas, mainly around the stove.
• ProBond is for acrylic and PVC sheets, which ordinary adhesives don't grip.

So for a laminate shutter next to the hob, HeatX; for an acrylic shutter anywhere in the kitchen, ProBond. If you're not sure, tell us the board, the finish and where it goes, and we'll suggest the product.

Which adhesive for a flush door?

For pasting laminate on a flush door in a dry room, an adhesive for laminate is enough. For a kitchen, balcony or bathroom door, use Marine. The door calculator includes the adhesive in the material list.

Tips for a lasting bond

1. The surface must be clean and dry; dust and oil weaken the bond.
2. Spread a thin, even layer on the surfaces the instructions say.
3. Press or clamp after pasting laminate, for as long as the pack says.
4. Read the date and instructions on the pack; each product's setting time differs.
