FAQs
How do I apply Aleene's Instant Tacky Glue Dots?
Peel the desired dot from the backing sheet. Apply the sticky side to your first surface, then press your second surface onto the exposed adhesive side.
Are these glue dots safe for photos?
Yes, Aleene's Instant Tacky Glue Dots are acid and lignin free, making them safe for use on photographs and archival projects.
Can I use these on fabric?
These glue dots are best suited for paper and lightweight craft materials. They are not designed for permanent adhesion on fabric.
What is the size of each glue dot?
Each glue dot is 0.5 inches in diameter.
Are the glue dots permanent?
Yes, they provide an instant and permanent hold once applied.
Can I remove the glue dots once applied?
While they offer a permanent bond, very careful removal might be possible on some surfaces immediately after application, but repositioning is generally not advised.
How should I store the glue dots?
Store them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain their stickiness.
Troubleshooting
Glue dot not sticking
Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Press firmly onto the surface for a few seconds to ensure a good bond.
Difficulty peeling the dot from the backing
Use a craft pick or tweezers to gently lift the edge of the dot before peeling the backing away. Ensure fingers are dry.
Dot is too sticky to reposition
These dots are designed for permanent hold. For repositionable projects, consider a different adhesive. If slight repositioning is needed immediately after application, work very quickly and gently.
