FAQs
Is Gorilla Clear Glue safe for food containers?
Gorilla Clear Glue is not recommended for direct food contact applications. While it creates a strong bond, it is not certified as food-safe.
Can I use this glue on electronics?
It can be used for some electronic repairs where a strong, clear bond is needed, but avoid contact with sensitive electronic components or circuitry. Test in a non-critical area first.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The initial bond forms in 30-60 seconds, but the glue requires 24 hours for a full cure and maximum strength.
What is the shelf life of Gorilla Clear Glue?
When stored properly in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place, it typically has a shelf life of 2 years.
Can I paint over the cured glue?
Yes, once fully cured, Gorilla Clear Glue can be painted over. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before painting.
What surfaces should I avoid using this glue on?
Avoid using on polyethylene, polypropylene, Teflon, or silicone. It is also not ideal for very flexible materials where movement is expected.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not dispensing
Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. If hardened, carefully clear the tip with a pin. Make sure the cap was properly sealed after the last use.
Bond is weak or failing
Verify surfaces were properly cleaned and dried. Ensure adequate pressure was applied during bonding and sufficient curing time was allowed. Reapply if necessary, preparing surfaces as recommended.
Excess glue is difficult to remove
Wipe away uncured excess immediately with a dry cloth. For cured excess, try scraping, sanding, or carefully using acetone on a cotton swab (test in an inconspicuous area first).
Glue appears cloudy after curing
This can occur if too much glue was used, if surfaces were not held together properly during curing, or if exposed to moisture before full cure. Use sparingly and ensure surfaces remain undisturbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For non-porous surfaces, a light sanding may improve adhesion. Apply a small amount of glue to one surface.
Compatibility: Gorilla Clear Glue is compatible with a wide range of materials including most plastics, ceramic, metal, wood, foam, glass, and fabric. Avoid using on polyethylene, polypropylene, or Styrofoam® brand foam. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Care: Store the glue upright 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 glue immediately with a dry cloth. Once cured, excess glue can be removed by scraping, sanding, or using a solvent like acetone (test first).
Application Tips:
- Apply the gel to one surface only.
- Press the surfaces together firmly and hold for 30-60 seconds.
- Allow 24 hours for full cure before stressing the bond.
