Product Information
Full details
This Prym Aqua Glue Marker is designed for sewers and crafters who need to temporarily secure fabrics, trims, lace, and zippers without pins. Its key benefit is providing a strong, visible adhesive line that disappears when dry and washes out completely, allowing for precise placement and easy removal. A minor caveat is the need to test on fabric samples first to ensure compatibility and observe drying characteristics. This refillable, non-toxic glue marker offers a clean alternative to pinning, ensuring accurate seam allowances and intricate embellishments.

FAQs
How do I apply the Prym Aqua Glue Marker?
Remove the cap and apply a thin, even line of the yellow glue directly onto the fabric or trimming where you want to secure it. Press the fabric or trimming onto the glued area. Allow the glue to dry; the yellow color will disappear.
Will the yellow color stain my fabric?
No, the yellow color is temporary. It is designed to disappear completely once the glue is dry. If any residue remains after washing, it indicates the glue was not fully removed or was applied excessively.
How long does the glue take to dry?
Drying time can vary depending on the fabric type, thickness, and ambient humidity. Typically, it dries within a few minutes to allow for stitching. It is recommended to test on a fabric sample to determine the drying time for your specific project.
Can I use this glue on all types of fabric?
It is suitable for most common sewing fabrics. However, due to variations in fabric finishes and types, it is essential to perform a test on a sample piece of fabric first to ensure compatibility and complete washability.
How do I remove the glue?
The glue is designed to dissolve completely and wash out easily in a standard laundry cycle. For immediate removal of accidental spills before drying, use a damp cloth.
Is the glue permanent?
No, the Prym Aqua Glue Marker is intended for temporary positioning and is fully washable. It is not a permanent adhesive.
How do I refill the glue marker?
The marker is refillable using Prym Aqua glue marker refill cartridges. Remove the empty cartridge and insert a new one, following the specific instructions provided with the refill packaging.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not dispensing
Ensure the cap is removed properly. Press the tip lightly onto a scrap piece of paper or fabric to prime the flow. If the marker has been stored for a long time, the tip may be dry; try gently moistening the tip with a damp cloth.
Adhesive is still visible after drying
This can happen if too much glue was applied or if the drying conditions were not optimal. Ensure you have followed the recommended application (thin line) and allow adequate drying time. Test on a fabric sample first to understand its drying behavior on different materials.
Glue does not wash out completely
Always test washability on a fabric sample first. Some fabric finishes or dyeing processes may affect how the glue dissolves. Ensure you are washing according to fabric care instructions. Excessive glue application may also require a more thorough wash.
Fabric feels stiff after application
Apply the glue in a thin, even line rather than a thick layer. Allow the glue to dry completely; the stiffness should dissipate once washed out. Test on a sample to confirm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Remove the cap from the Prym Aqua Glue Marker.
- If using for the first time or after storage, press the tip lightly onto a scrap piece of paper or fabric to ensure the glue flows.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use on most common fabrics, including cotton, linen, and synthetics.
- Important: Always test the glue on an inconspicuous area or a sample piece of the fabric you intend to use. This is crucial to check for any adverse reactions, observe drying time, and ensure the glue is completely washable on that specific material.
- Ideal for positioning lace, braids, zippers, appliqués, and securing hems.
Care:
- After Use: Replace the cap securely to prevent the glue from drying out.
- Storage: Store the marker upright in a cool, dry place.
- Refilling: When the glue runs low, replace the empty cartridge with a new Prym Aqua glue marker refill cartridge. Follow the instructions provided with the refill.
- Cleaning: To remove dried glue residue from tools or surfaces (if any accidental spillage occurs before drying), a damp cloth can be used. Once the glue is dry on fabric, it is designed to wash out completely.
