How to Use
-
Prep: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of dust or oils. Lightly roughen very smooth surfaces for best grab.
-
Apply: Squeeze a thin, even layer to one surface. For porous materials (paper, cardboard, wood), a little goes a long way.
-
Assemble: Press parts together. Use light pressure, clips or tape if needed to hold while setting.
-
Dry: Allow to dry thoroughly. Dry time varies with bead thickness, temperature and humidity.
-
Clean-up: Wipe excess immediately with a damp cloth. Wash tools in water while glue is still wet.

- Always perform a small test on off-cuts or an inconspicuous area to confirm compatibility and finish.
