Troubleshooting
Glue is not sticking.
Ensure parts are clean, and the glue has enough time to dry. Consider roughening the surfaces for better adhesion.
Glue appears thick or dried out.
Check the expiration date and ensure the cap is tightly closed after use. If the glue is old, it may need to be replaced.
Parts are misaligned after gluing.
Use the extended open time to reposition parts. If the glue has already set, try carefully separating the parts and re-gluing.
