Benefits

• 100% Waterproof: It can truly be used indoors or outdoors, is unaffected by changes in temperature and will not break down when exposed to rain, sun or snow.
• Incredibly Strong and Versatile: It is pure polyurethane glue. It contains no additives or solvents giving a much stronger bond and allowing different materials to be glued together.
• Stainable and Paintable: It leaves an invisible glue line that can be sanded, painted and strained. Finishing has never been easier!
• Easily Sanded:It will not gum up sandpaper or dull cutting tools. It is easily sanded.
• More Coverage:It expands 3 or 4 times its size, so you only need to apply a small amount to one surface.
• A Long Open Working Time: It has an open working time of 20 minutes giving you plenty of time to set your project in perfect place.
• Dries Light Tan: It goes on dark but dries to a light tan color.
• Non-toxic:It is completely non-toxic when cured. It is free of solvents and fillers. It contains no carcinogens and does not release fumes when either liquid or dry.
• Acid-Free:It is completely free of any acids because it is 100% polyurethane glue. Gorilla Glue has a neutral pH level.

Directions

• 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. To open a bottle larger than 2 ounces, cut the tip of the nozzle where it comes up to a point and starts to indent. The cap is attached to the side of the nozzle.
• 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.

• 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 be a skin sensitizer. 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.

• Clamp It:Make sure the clamping pressure is distributed evenly across the surface. Or, if you don’t have a clamp, use heavy objects or Gorilla Tape® to achieve the appropriate clamping pressure. For lighter objects, try using rubber bands to hold the pieces together tightly. Clamp objects for 1–2 hours. For best results, allow 24 hours to cure.

• 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.

• 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.
