Dap Inc 173 Rapidfuse Brush on Adhesive 16 Gram

Product Description

The DAP INC 173 is a fast-curing, brush-on all purpose adhesive designed for professional-strength bonding across a wide range of common materials. The formula sets in 30 seconds and reaches full cure in 30 minutes, making it a practical choice for time-sensitive repair and assembly work. The bond cures clear with no expanding foam and no drip, which reduces cleanup and keeps finished work looking clean. At 16 grams per unit, this adhesive delivers a controlled application volume suited to detail work and targeted repairs. The bond strength is rated 40 percent stronger than polyurethane glues and resists brittleness over time for lasting durability.

This adhesive is formulated for both indoor and outdoor applications on common household and job-site materials. The brush-on applicator provides precise placement without the need for additional tools. A repositioning window of up to 3 minutes allows for minor alignment corrections before the bond sets, which is useful when fitting parts that require exact placement. Tradespeople and service professionals working on quick repairs, fixture work, or material bonding tasks will find the fast set time and clean application format practical for field use.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying adhesive — clean, dry, and dust-free surfaces produce the strongest bond. Apply adhesive to one surface, press parts together firmly, and hold or clamp for the initial set period. Allow full cure time before applying stress to the bond. Store adhesive according to manufacturer guidelines to maintain shelf life and applicator function.
