Product Information
Full details
Gorilla Contact Adhesive Clear is the ideal bonding solution for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners who require a permanent, high-strength fix for materials like wood, rubber, and leather. Its primary benefit lies in its fast-setting, waterproof, and clear-drying formula, which provides invisible, durable joints for a wide variety of household repairs. While it offers an incredibly reliable hold, users should note that because it is a contact cement, it requires careful alignment and application to both surfaces before bonding, as the grip is near-instant and difficult to reposition once contact is made.

FAQs
Is this adhesive safe for food-contact surfaces?
No, Gorilla Contact Adhesive Clear is not intended for use on items that will come into contact with food.
Can I use this on plastics?
It is highly effective on many materials, but it is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area if you are unsure of the plastic type.
How long does it take to fully cure?
While it bonds instantly upon contact, allow 24 hours for the adhesive to achieve its maximum cure strength.
Is it heat resistant?
The adhesive is designed for general household conditions; however, it is not recommended for high-heat environments like stoves or ovens.
Can I reposition the parts once they touch?
No, the contact adhesive creates an immediate bond, so precise alignment before contact is essential.
Will this work on fabric?
Yes, it is effective on most fabrics, but test a small swatch first to ensure the adhesive does not soak through or alter the material texture.
Troubleshooting
The bond feels weak or separates.
Ensure that the adhesive was applied to both surfaces and allowed to reach the 'tacky' stage before joining.
Adhesive dried out in the tube.
Check that the cap was fully tightened after previous use; if the nozzle is clogged, carefully clear it with a pin before squeezing.
Glue is visible outside the joint.
Use a light solvent like mineral spirits to clean off excess wet glue immediately before it fully cures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best bond, always clean and dry both surfaces thoroughly before application to remove dust, oil, or grease. Apply a uniform, thin coat to both surfaces using a brush or the tube applicator. Let the adhesive set until it feels tacky, but not wet. Once the surfaces are joined, press them together firmly with steady pressure for several seconds to lock the bond. Store the tubes in a cool, dry place and ensure the caps are tightened securely after every use to prevent the adhesive from drying out inside the tube. For cleanup of wet adhesive, use mineral spirits or a similar solvent, as soap and water will not effectively remove the uncured product.
