It's the season for back-to-school DIY

Fix school shoes, ace class projects safely with Rugby Brand Contact Cement Adhesive

With the new school year now officially underway, busy school days, class projects, and hectic campus activities are back in full swing. For parents and students, a new school year also means dealing with sudden wear and tear, from detached shoe soles to school projects.

If you’re dealing with these everyday fixes and DIY builds, you can count on Bostik Philippines’ Rugby Original, the country’s most trusted contact cement brand. Keeping a bottle of Rugby Original in your home drawer gives you a reliable, quick solution to keep your children's essential school gear running strong.

"Every new school year comes with sudden and urgent fixes that parents need to manage. Bostik’s Rugby is a safe and effective bonding agent that is easy to use for everyday DIY projects, ensuring that school essentials will last through the busy academic year,” said Bostik Marketing Director Fides Kasman. 

Rugby Original, the first and original Philippine-made synthetic rubber contact cement, provides strong waterproof adhesion for various materials, including rubber, leather and its synthetic versions, canvas, foam, wood, tiles, glass, and metal. 

The product is safe to use and 100% free from toluene, an industrial solvent known to have intoxicating effects when misused as an inhalant. Bostik eliminated toluene in 2012 to prioritize household safety without sacrificing the product’s well-known strength.

Make sure to get your bottle of Rugby Original only from authorized hardware stores and retailers. Counterfeit versions and other products wrongly branded as Rugby Original, particularly those similar to Rugby 20ml sachet, are prevalent in both physical stores and online marketplaces. 

"Reliable fixes depend entirely on authentic, quality materials. We urge everyone to watch out for fake adhesives mimicking our brand, as counterfeit products are unreliable and unsafe," said Kasman. 

If you encounter a product that might be counterfeit, report via Bostik Philippines’ hotline (02) 7900-5656 or email [email protected].
