Troubleshooting
Glue appears cloudy or white after drying.
Ensure the glue has completely dried and that the parts are held firmly together until dry. It could also mean too much glue was applied. Try using less glue next time.
Glue is not sticking.
Make sure the surfaces are clean and that you are using the glue on compatible plastics. If the parts are not fitting together properly, the glue may not be effective. In this case, trim the plastic parts as needed to ensure a snug fit and then use the glue.
Brush is clogged.
Clean the brush with water immediately after use. If the brush has hardened, try soaking it in warm water to soften the dried glue. Replace if necessary.
