Known backups / known substitutes

• Chem-Set M1B38 no-drill bonding stud, for jobs that call for a perforated base and a separately applied structural adhesive instead of pre-applied tape

Comparison Note

Compared to the Chem-Set M1B38 bonding stud, which uses a perforated base and a separately applied structural adhesive, the M1V38 ships with VST high bond tape already on the base for a faster, single-step installation. Choose the M1B38 where a stronger, adhesive-selected bond is the priority; choose the M1V38 for speed and simplicity.
