New applicator for unique knot filling system

The knottec® system from Power Adhesives is now available with the option of a brand new, battery powered glue gun – the b-tec 807.

This repair process for knot defects and other forms of deep wood damage can now be used with the fully-portable b-tec 807.

The b-tec 807 has been designed to use the widely available Ryobi 18V 1.5Ah lithium+ battery and charger, which can achieve recharge times of around 60 minutes. This battery includes an on-board four-stage fuel gauge to indicate how much charge is remaining, making it easier for users to know when a charge is required. It can also be used to run a range of Ryobi power tools.

Knots and deep scratches in wood can be filled quickly and easily using a special knot-filling adhesive developed by the company, with the help of a 12mm hot melt glue gun like the b-tec 807.

The system also includes a pair of handy heat-sink blocks that can be used to create a form around any knot holes that go through, or are on the edge of, areas of wood that need repair.

Once the damaged area has been filled, the knottec knot-filling adhesive takes just minutes to cool before the excess can be trimmed with a flush plane tool, such as the Mouseplane.

The repaired area can then be sanded, painted or treated as normal, achieving a high-quality finish to the restored wood.

Because it’s so tough, knottec is perfect for repairs to things like wooden doors, window frames, furniture, floors, and more. This knot-filling adhesive is also available in six different colours to help users achieve the best colour match possible.

Power Adhesives offers a choice of two additional mains-powered 12mm glue guns for use with the knottec system – the light industrial tec 305 and the professional tec 820 – as well as the Mouseplane tool for trimming away excess glue.

Cost-effective knottec kits containing everything users need to get started in a practical carry case are also available.

Power Adhesives manufactures the largest range of industrial glue guns and high performance shaped hot melt adhesives. Its products are sold through a network of specialist distributors around the world under the tec and tecbond brand names.

With over 40 years’ industry experience, Power Adhesives is able to offer expert help on all aspects of commercial gluing operations using thermoplastic adhesives.

A continuous programme of research and development ensures that the company continue to meet the ever changing needs of industry, including the knottec system.
