Troubleshooting
Glue not spreading evenly
Ensure the glue is applied in a reasonable amount to the surface. Wipe the spreader clean of excess glue periodically. Try a different type of liquid glue if the issue persists.
Dried glue stuck to spreader
Soak the spreader in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes. Gently try to remove the softened glue with a soft cloth or a blunt plastic edge. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the plastic.
Spreader feels too flexible
The flexible head is designed for easy spreading. If more rigidity is needed for a specific task, consider using a different tool or applying glue with a more direct method.
