General tips to consider
It's good to know that not all Bostik adhesives have safety labels on their packaging as their chemical makeup does not require them. However, for those that do have hazard symbols, you must:

- Always read the instructions thoroughly before use - hazard symbol or not!
- Follow all safety precautions listed on the packaging.
- If you experience any adverse reactions, contact your local poison control centre for assistance - Bostik adhesives have a unique formula identifier code (UFI) indicated on the product label to facilitate identification of the product.

By following the simple rules shared on each product's packaging, you can use the adhesive safely and efficiently to achieve maximum results with your repair or creation.
