FAQs
How long does the glue take to dry?
The glue typically sets within seconds, but full curing for maximum strength can take 24 hours.
Can this glue be used on fabric?
While it may bond fabric to other materials, it's not ideal for fabric-to-fabric bonding as it can make the fabric stiff and brittle. Test on a small, hidden area first.
What is the shelf life of these glue tubes?
When stored in a cool, dry place with the cap securely fastened, the glue can last for approximately 1-2 years.
Is this glue waterproof once cured?
The adhesive provides a water-resistant bond, suitable for most household applications. However, prolonged submersion in water may affect bond strength over time.
Can I use this for food containers?
It is not recommended for use on surfaces that come into direct contact with food, as the adhesive is not food-grade and may leach chemicals.
What are the dimensions of each tube?
Each tube contains 3g of glue and is small and lightweight, designed for easy handling and storage.
What makes the gel formula different from liquid super glue?
The gel formula is less likely to run or drip, offering more control for precise application, especially on vertical surfaces or intricate parts.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not dispensing from the tube.
Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Carefully puncture the tip if it is sealed. If the entire tube seems hardened, it may be old or have been exposed to air.
The bond is weak or failing.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. For some materials, a light roughening of the surface with sandpaper can improve adhesion. Ensure sufficient glue was applied and allowed to cure fully.
Glue has bonded skin or unwanted surfaces.
For skin, soak the bonded area in warm, soapy water. Do not force skin apart. For non-skin surfaces, try to gently scrape away excess cured glue or use acetone-based nail polish remover (test on an inconspicuous area first for surface compatibility).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. The glue is ready for immediate use upon opening a tube.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on plastic, leather, ceramics, glass, metal, card, paper, and photos. Avoid using on porous materials like untreated wood or fabrics where it may soak through, or on surfaces that require flexibility.
Care and Storage:
- Sealing: Ensure the nozzle is wiped clean and the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent the nozzle from becoming clogged.
- Storage: Store tubes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original packaging can help protect them.
- Usage Environment: Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Safety: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If skin bonding occurs, do not pull apart; soak in warm, soapy water or use a nail polish remover (acetone) cautiously on surrounding skin. In case of eye contact, seek immediate medical attention.
