BOSTIK PVC PRIMING FLUID RED 500ML — $7.45 Inc. GST
What it is:
The Bostik PVC Priming Fluid Red 500ml is a professional-grade priming fluid designed specifically for use with PVC pipe and fittings prior to solvent cement bonding. The red colouring makes it easy to confirm coverage and identify treated surfaces.
How to use it:
Apply the priming fluid generously to both the pipe and fitting surfaces using the built-in applicator. Allow it to flash off briefly before applying solvent cement. This step removes surface contaminants, softens the PVC and ensures a stronger, more reliable bond between components. Always use in a well-ventilated area and follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines.
Where it’s used:
Widely used by plumbers, builders and contractors across Melbourne’s residential and commercial sectors for drainage systems, stormwater lines, irrigation and general PVC pipe installations. Pair it with products from our adhesives and sealants range for a complete bonding solution on site.
BASE COTE 45 MIN SET 20KG — $43.00 Inc. GST
What it is:
The Knauf Base Cote 45 Min Set is a fast-setting base coat plaster designed for filling, patching and coating plasterboard or masonry surfaces. With a 45-minute working time, it strikes the right balance between workability and productivity on busy job sites.
How to use it:
Mix with clean water to a smooth, lump-free consistency. Apply to the prepared surface using a broad trowel or finishing knife, building up in layers as needed. The 45-minute set time gives you enough working time to achieve a smooth finish before it hardens. Sand lightly once cured before applying a finish coat or paint.
Where it’s used:
Ideal for new builds, renovations and commercial fit-outs requiring plasterboard installation or patching work. Browse our full plasterboard compound range online, or visit us in-store for expert advice on which product suits your project. You can also get a free quote for larger jobs.
HOOP IRON TENSIONER 10 PACK — $27.25 Inc. GST
What it is:
This 10-pack of Hoop Iron Tensioners provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for tensioning hoop iron strapping used in structural framing and bracing applications. These tensioners ensure consistent strap tension for compliant, robust connections.
How to use it:
Thread the hoop iron strap through the tensioner and tighten to achieve the required tension level. Secure with appropriate nails or fixings as specified by your engineer or building plans. The tensioner locks the strap in position, preventing slippage and maintaining structural integrity.
Where it’s used:
Commonly specified in timber-framed construction across Melbourne and Victoria for wall bracing, tie-down systems and other structural applications where hoop iron strapping is required.

Because it comes pre-primed, it’s ready to receive your top coat of paint immediately — saving time on prep and helping you achieve a professional finish faster. Suitable for interior use only.
