FAQs
What surfaces can I use this adhesive on?
This adhesive is suitable for crafts, fabric (non-stretch), wood, plastic (most types), paper, cardboard, metal, ceramic, and leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with plastics.
What surfaces should I avoid using this adhesive on?
Avoid using on polyethylene, polypropylene, PTFE, silicone rubber, Styrofoam®, flexible plastics, or materials that will be frequently exposed to water or extreme heat.
How long does it take for the adhesive to dry?
The adhesive sets quickly, typically within 30-60 seconds, but it requires 24 hours to reach its maximum bond strength.
Is the bond permanent?
Yes, once fully cured, the bond is permanent and very strong. It is not designed for temporary adhesion.
How should I store the adhesive?
Store the tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, with the cap tightly sealed.
Can I use this for repairs on clothing?
Yes, it's suitable for non-stretch fabrics, like repairing a hem or a seam. It is not recommended for stretchy or elastic materials.
What is the size of each tube in the pack?
Each tube contains 20ml of adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not dispensing
Ensure the nozzle seal has been fully punctured. Check if the adhesive has dried inside the nozzle; if so, carefully clear the obstruction or use a new tube.
Bond is weak or failing
Verify surfaces were clean and dry before application. Ensure sufficient pressure was applied during bonding. Confirm the materials are compatible with the adhesive. The bond may need 24 hours to reach full strength.
Adhesive is drying too slowly
Ensure surfaces are properly aligned and held in place. Avoid applying too thick a layer, as this can inhibit rapid curing. Check storage conditions; extreme cold can slow drying.
Unwanted adhesive on surfaces
Wipe away excess uncured adhesive immediately with a damp cloth. For cured adhesive, carefully try to scrape it away or use a solvent suitable for the surface and the adhesive (test in an inconspicuous area first).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or oil.
- For best results, lightly roughen smooth surfaces with sandpaper.
- Puncture the seal on the tube nozzle using the cap's built-in piercing point.
- Apply a small amount of adhesive to one surface. Avoid using too much, as this can weaken the bond and increase drying time.
- Press the two surfaces together firmly and hold for the recommended time (typically 30-60 seconds) until the bond begins to set.
- Allow 24 hours for the bond to reach maximum strength.
Compatibility:
- Suitable Materials: Crafts, fabric (non-stretch), wood, plastic (most types, test on a small area first), paper, cardboard, metal, ceramic, leather.
- Not Recommended For: Polyethylene, polypropylene, PTFE, silicone rubber, Styrofoam®, flexible plastics, or surfaces that will be in prolonged contact with water or extreme heat.
Care & Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent drying.
- Clean up any excess uncured adhesive immediately with a damp cloth. Cured adhesive can be difficult to remove.
