FAQs
Is this glitter glue suitable for very young children?
Yes, the formula is non-toxic and safe for children's crafts. However, adult supervision is recommended for very young children to ensure proper application and prevent accidental ingestion.
How long does the glitter glue take to dry?
The glitter glue is quick-drying. Drying time typically ranges from 15-30 minutes, but this can vary depending on the thickness of the application and environmental conditions like humidity.
Can I use this glitter glue on fabric?
It can be used on fabric for decorative purposes, but it is not designed as a permanent fabric adhesive. For best results and durability, test on a small, inconspicuous area first. The bond may not be as strong as specialized fabric glues.
How much glitter glue is in the bottle?
Each bottle contains 118 ml of light pink glitter glue.
Can I paint over the glitter glue once it's dry?
While you can paint over it, the glitter itself will likely show through and might affect the paint's finish. It's generally used as a decorative element on its own.
Does the glitter shed after drying?
Once fully dry, the glitter is securely adhered. Some minimal shedding might occur if the dried glue is heavily rubbed or peeled, but for most applications, it remains in place.
How do I remove dried glitter glue?
Removal depends on the surface. For washable surfaces, soap and water may work. For other surfaces, gentle scraping or using a craft adhesive remover might be necessary. Test removal methods in an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Glue will not dispense
Ensure the tip is not clogged. Gently poke the tip with a fine needle or pin. Check that the cap has been removed properly.
Glue is too watery or thin
This is unlikely with proper storage. Ensure the bottle has not been exposed to excessive heat, which could alter consistency. Allow more time for drying and reapply if needed.
Glitter is clumping or uneven
Shake the bottle gently before use to redistribute the glitter. Apply with steady pressure for even coverage.
Glue is not sticking to the surface
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. For some materials like plastic, a primer might be needed for better adhesion. Allow adequate drying time.
Tip clogged after use
Wipe the tip immediately after use. If dried, soak the tip in warm water for a few minutes and then clear with a pin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The glitter glue comes ready to use. Ensure the tip is clear before the first use. If the tip appears blocked, gently poke it with a fine needle or pin.
Compatibility: This glitter glue is best suited for porous and semi-porous craft surfaces such as paper, cardstock, cardboard, poster board, fabric (test first), wood, and craft foam. It may not adhere as strongly or dry as effectively on non-porous surfaces like plastic or metal.
Care:
- Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cleaning the Tip: After each use, wipe the tip clean with a damp cloth or paper towel to prevent clogging. If the glue has dried on the tip, gently rehydrate it with a damp cloth or carefully clear it with a pin.
- Cleaning Spills: Wipe away wet spills immediately with a damp cloth. Dried glue may require gentle scraping or washing with soap and water, depending on the surface.
