FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DAP^® LAUNCHES NEW ADHESIVE LINE MADE TO STIK

Six New Adhesives Feature "Gluing Made Better"

BALTIMORE (April, 2007) – DAP^® is launching Stik adhesives, a unique line of adhesive products that will bring exclusive technologies and innovative delivery systems to the current adhesives market.

These new adhesives overcome the major concerns associated with gluing projects, such as mess, odor, clean up and long set times. They also are designed to appeal to a wide range of consumers, including the homeowner and do-it-yourselfer.

"We are excited to bring our new line of Stik adhesives to market," said David Fuller, vice president of marketing for DAP. "DAP Stik adhesives are truly unique – ranging from innovative Waterstik™ technology in Spray 'N Stik™ all-purpose aerosol spray glue to our innovative dual applicator dispenser for One Stik™ household adhesives."

DAP^® EpoxyStik™ two minute epoxy is Gluing Made Powerful™. This high performance epoxy adhesive provides a strong, waterproof bond with a fast set time of only two minutes. It comes conveniently packaged in easy-to-use single dose application packs, which means no unwanted waste. Just fold the pack in half, tear open, squeeze out and mix. The pack's edge doubles as a mixer to blend the two components together and even can be used as a spreader. Make quick repairs anywhere with the easy carry packs that fit conveniently in a pocket or purse. DAP^® EpoxyStik™ is ideal for all types of household bonding and repair needs and provides excellent adhesion to ceramics, china, glass, wood, concrete, metal and most plastics. Now the strongest bond is easy, convenient and clean.

DAP^® Spray 'N Stik™ all-purpose aerosol spray glue with exclusive Waterstik™ technology is Gluing Made Cleaner™. Its innovative Waterstik™ technology provides superior adhesion for strong, permanent bonds with the added benefits of low odor and easy water clean up. The unique foaming action sprays on white so you can see exactly where you've applied it and helps eliminate overspray. It dries clear, won't turn yellow and is safe for most surfaces. DAP Spray 'N Stik™ can be used for bonding porous and non-porous substrates such as paper, cardboard, newsprint, photos, fabric, plastic, metal, wood and more.

DAP^® StikArounds™ double-sided pressure sensitive adhesive spots and continuous lines are all about Gluing Made Easier™. They are cleaner and easier to use than liquid glues, tacks or magnets and are safer and more convenient than hot glue guns. Just peel and stick for an instant bond – no long set up or dry times. StikArounds™ are non-toxic, acid free, archival quality and adhere to a wide variety of surfaces. StikArounds™ are ideal for all types of hobby and craft, school, office and around the home uses, such as mounting pictures or artwork, hanging posters, adhering loose wallpaper, securing collectibles, keeping cords and cables in place, and more. The applications are endless.

DAP^® One Stik^2™ dual applicator adhesives provide everything you need for Gluing Made Precise™. Choose your household project; then choose your One Stik2. The convenient, easy-to-use dispenser offers two non-drip applicators, a thin "pen" tip for more exacting applications and a wide tip for spreading a broader film. This translates to no mess, high precision gluing. Plus, the specially designed closure prevents clogging, for easy dispensing every time. DAP offers two adhesive formulas to cover permanent or repositionable applications. One Stik^2™ Crystal Clear Permanent Adhesive is perfect for permanent repairs such as fixing cracked vases, re-securing trim, or arts and crafts projects; and it provides a glossy, crystal clear finish. DAP's One Stik^2™ Dual Adhesive Action! offers permanent or temporary holding power on vertical or horizontal surfaces. Use it to prevent items from slipping around on countertops, to secure items in place prior to nailing or for temporarily mounting items like posters, photos and notes. An excellent replacement for white glue, both One Stik^2™ products dry clear and are acid free.

DAP^® Strong Stik™ instant grab adhesive is Gluing Made Powerful™. It replaces nails and screws by holding projects in place instantly, yet is repositionable for up to 15 minutes. Strong Stik™ is so powerful, it can be used for vertical or overhead applications. Just one ounce can hold a three pound object. The slim 5.5 fl. oz tube is easy to hold and the stand-up flip top cap is convenient and impossible to lose. Strong Stik™ works on most house hold surfaces and cleans up with soap and water. It's also great for indoor and outdoor projects.

DAP^® BlueStik™ removable adhesive putty is Gluing Made Easier™. Non-toxic BlueStik™ is the ideal replacement for tape, tacks, staples and magnets. No more chipped, peeled paint. No more holes in walls. BlueStik™ sticks just about anything to slick or hard surfaces, such as wood, tile, glass, concrete, porcelain, metal and painted surfaces. Use it to hang posters, drawings, photos, decorations and notes. BlueStik™ can be used time and time again.
