Product Information
Full details
The Gorilla Strong Adhesive Gel 3g is designed for users needing precise, fast-setting adhesion for small, detailed repairs on various surfaces like wood, plastic, metal, and ceramic. Its key benefit is the non-drip gel formula, which allows for accurate application on vertical or uneven surfaces, ensuring a strong, impact-resistant bond. A potential caveat is its fast-setting nature, requiring careful alignment before bonding. This product excels in household, DIY, and craft projects due to its controlled application and durable results.

FAQs
How long does the bond take to fully cure?
While the initial bond sets in seconds, full cure typically takes 24 hours for maximum strength and durability.
Can I use this on fabric?
Gorilla Glue Gel is not recommended for use on fabric as it can cause stiffening and may not provide a flexible bond.
What is the shelf life of the Gorilla Glue Gel 3g?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the cap on, the adhesive typically has a shelf life of one year from the date of purchase.
How do I remove dried Gorilla Glue Gel?
Dried adhesive can be difficult to remove. For cured glue, gently scrape or sand it away. Acetone may help dissolve it, but test on an inconspicuous area first, as it can damage some surfaces.
Is this adhesive waterproof?
The bond created is water-resistant once fully cured, making it suitable for applications that may encounter moisture, but it is not designed for continuous submersion.
Can I use this on painted surfaces?
Yes, it can be used on painted surfaces, but ensure the paint is well-adhered. The adhesive may lift loose paint. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not dispensing
Ensure the anti-clog cap is fully removed. If clogged, carefully use a pin or paperclip to clear the nozzle opening. Check if the adhesive has hardened inside the tube.
Bond is weak or failing
Ensure surfaces were clean and dry before application. For plastics, confirm compatibility; some plastics are not suitable. Try reapplying, ensuring adequate pressure and holding time.
Adhesive has bonded skin
Do not pull skin apart. Soak the bonded area in warm, soapy water. Gently roll or peel the skin apart using a blunt object like a spoon or nail file. Acetone (nail polish remover) can help dissolve the adhesive but use with caution on sensitive skin.
Gel is too thick to apply smoothly
Ensure the product has not expired or been exposed to excessive heat, which can alter its consistency. If freshly opened and thick, try gently warming the tube slightly in your hands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Lightly roughening smooth surfaces can improve adhesion.
- Twist off the anti-clog cap. Some initial pressure may be needed.
- Apply a small drop of gel to one surface. Avoid using excessive amounts.
- Press the surfaces together firmly and hold for the recommended time (typically 15-60 seconds) until the bond sets.
- Replace the anti-clog cap immediately after use to prevent the nozzle from clogging.

Care:
- Store the adhesive in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the anti-clog cap securely in place when not in use.
