Gorilla Glue - Directions of Use | TC Fixings

Gorilla Glue - Directions of Use

  1. Prepare and Dampen the Surfaces

    If you’re using Original Gorilla Glue for the first time, or bonding a new type of material, we always recommend trying a test piece first.

    Prepare your surfaces: All surfaces must be clean, dust-free and tight-fitting. For shiny surfaces, such as metals, glass and some plastics, roughen up the material to give the glue something to bite into.

    Damp It: Lightly dampen one surface with water. We recommend using a damp cloth or spraying with water. Do not saturate the surface. For dense hardwoods, lightly dampen both surfaces prior to gluing.

  2. Evenly Apply Gorilla Glue Onto the Dry Surface

    Glue It: Carefully apply onto the dry surface. Do not over apply. We recommend wearing gloves or spreading the glue with a disposable brush. In some instances, Gorilla Glue can affect sensitive skin. If you are predisposed to skin reactions, please take the extra precaution.

    If you do get the glue on your skin, try removing it with a dry cloth or paper towel first (particularly if the glue is still tacky). If that doesn’t work, try washing with soap and cold water, or using an exfoliator with a gritty texture. Dry your skin and apply lotion. We do not recommend using any kind of alcohol or acetone. This actually strips the skin of its natural oils, which means the glue is more likely to stick.

  3. Grip the Two Surfaces Together Tightly

    Grip It: Make sure the gripping pressure is distributed evenly across the surface. Use a clamp, heavy objects, or Gorilla Tape® to achieve the appropriate gripping pressure. For lighter objects, try using rubber bands to hold the pieces together tightly. Grip objects for 1–2 hours. For best results, allow 24 hours to cure.

  4. Clean up

    If you need to remove any uncured “squeeze out” or wet glue, we recommend wiping with a dry cloth or using a standard paint thinner. Make sure to read and follow directions if using a paint thinner. Always wear gloves. Once the glue is dry, it is best removed mechanically: Try sanding, chiseling, scraping or picking. The dried glue will not damage tools.

  5. Storage Tips

    After each use, wipe the bottle’s lid and nozzle clean with a dry cloth. For 2 oz. bottles, tightly replace the lid after wiping clean and store in a cool, dry place. For bottle sizes 4 oz. and larger, we suggest squeezing excess air out of the bottle. While still squeezing, tightly replace the cap and then store in a cool, dry place. This helps eliminate moisture in the bottle. You should expect a year's shelf life.
