Fast Coverage. Flash-Cure Ready. Multi-Substrate Mist Adhesive.
CCI Top Bond Mist is a workhorse mist pallet adhesive for production screen printing and embroidery shops. It covers the pallet quickly with a consistent mist pattern that dries to a reliable tack — ready for flash-cure jobs or standard single-color runs. It bonds to more substrates than most pallet adhesives on the market, making it versatile across different types of apparel and materials. From cotton T-shirts to heavier garments, Top Bond Mist handles everyday production with a straightforward, effective formula.
What’s Included
Key Performance Features
Flash-Cure Compatible
Top Bond Mist is specifically noted as working equally well for flash-cure applications. Whether you’re running a simple one-color job or a multi-color setup with a flash station, the adhesive tack holds through the heat cycle without releasing or going gummy.
Fast, Even Coverage
The mist pattern covers the pallet surface quickly and evenly. CCI’s formula is designed to coat the full platen area in a consistent layer — no thick spots, no thin areas — for uniform tack that holds garments flat and square.
Wide Substrate Compatibility
Bonds to cloth, paper, cardboard, acetate, foil, plastic film, cork, foam rubber, and leather. More than just a screen printing adhesive — Top Bond Mist is used across embroidery rooms, cutting rooms, and general production wherever a reliable aerosol tack is needed.
No Residue Transfer
When applied correctly, Top Bond Mist dries to a tack that will not transfer adhesive residue onto garment fabric. Shirts, hoodies, and heavy garments come off the platen clean.
Works at Room Temperature
Top Bond Mist is formulated to perform best at room temperature. In heated press rooms or during summer production, performance remains consistent as long as the spray is stored and used within normal shop temperature ranges.
Nozzle Care Matters
Like all mist adhesive aerosols, consistent nozzle maintenance is important. Always invert the can and spray until clear air flows after each session. If the nozzle clogs, soak in warm water and clear before the next use. Proper nozzle care extends can life significantly.

Cleanup: Peel tape. Done.
Application Guide
Step 1 — Tape the Platen
Apply pallet tape to a clean, dry platen. Smooth flat with no bubbles or raised edges.
Step 2 — Check Tip Direction
Before each use, check that the nozzle tip is pointed in the correct direction. This is explicitly noted in CCI’s application guide — incorrect tip orientation results in poor coverage.
Step 3 — Spray the Pallet
Hold can 6–8 inches from the tape surface. Apply a light, even coat using a smooth sweeping motion. Do not concentrate in one spot. Let dry before loading.
Step 4 — Load & Print
Position fabric on the coated area and proceed with the screening process. The tack holds garments in place through flash-cure and multi-color production.
Step 5 — Nozzle Care
After each session, invert the can and spray until only clean air flows. This is the single most important step in extending nozzle life and preventing clogging on future uses.
Top Bond Mist vs. Top Bond Web — Which CCI Adhesive Is Right?
Choose Top Bond Mist When…
You’re printing on standard T-shirts, cotton, polyester, or lightweight garments where a standard mist adhesive provides adequate grip. Also the go-to for embroidery, cutting rooms, and multi-substrate bonding applications.
Choose Top Bond Web When…
You’re printing on fleece, hoodies, sweatshirts, or textured pile fabrics where a mist adhesive can’t get sufficient grip. The web pattern interlocks mechanically with fabric pile for a stronger hold on challenging substrates.
Eco Preference?
Shops concerned about occupational chemical exposure from benzene-containing products should consider the AlbaChem 1782 Eco Mist — formulated without hexane and without benzene-related compounds.
