When placed properly in good stone glue-in bolts are the strongest anchors available. Patience and experience are required when installing glue-in bolts. The mixing and installation of the glue is the key to a correctly placed glue-in. This type of bolt works excellent in soft or pocketed stone. Although not widely used in the US glue-in bolts are common in Europe.
Selecting the right glue system for your application is the first step. The most efficient and cost affective system is a Glue Gun and Glue Cartridge. This system is clean, fast and the most affordable. The Glue Tip must be changed after each application. If you are just installing Top Anchors or the occasional Glue-In the Glue Capsule works well. The key is getting the glue mixed well within a clean dust free hole. Properly installed glue penetrates the rock creating the strongest possible anchor.
