Troubleshooting

Glue isn't sticking well to a surface.

Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry before applying. Apply a sufficient amount of glue and allow for proper drying time. Consider roughing up the surfaces slightly with sandpaper to increase adhesion.

Glue is visible after drying.

Use a minimal amount of glue. Wipe away any excess glue immediately. Allow ample drying time for the glue to become completely clear.

Glue bottle is clogged.

Rinse the nozzle with warm water. Use a pin to clear any dried glue from the tip.
