Gluefast GF#878P Adhesive – Water-Based Resin Emulsion Adhesive – 5 Gallons
Shipping Note: Due to UPS surcharges on packages exceeding 50 lb., the 5-gallon pail is shipped as two separate boxes—one containing four 1-gallon containers and the other a single 1-gallon container. This packaging method ensures each box stays under the 50 lb. threshold, avoiding extra fees. Although it arrives in two boxes, this method is still more cost-effective than shipping a single 5-gallon container.
