Since we introduced Balcotan into the UK in 1990 it has been a source of satisfaction to us that woodworkers of all kinds have joined in our appreciation of one of the most versatile glues available on the market. Our motivation to import Balcotan stemmed from many years of shipwright work in Greece and Italy where this adhesive became so much part of our everyday use that to be without it was unthinkable. Now after 10 years in the UK, the qualities of Balcotan (the foundation for Forbo 60 Series adhesives) have become well-known and appreciated here too.

A simple reliable glue, easy to use in a wide variety of conditions, Balcotan is an essential part of the glue repertoire of woodworkers in Britain who work as boatbuilders, cabinet makers, furniture restorers, conservatory manufacturers, propeller makers, joiners, carpenters, on-site chippies, sculptors, etc. as well as huge numbers of amateurs. They have recognised that successful waterproof gluing need not be a process which is dominated by weather conditions, thermometers, dehumidifiers and the expensive leftover mustard syndrome!
