Gorilla Contact Adhesive Clear is an essential solution for professional contractors, hobbyists, and DIY enthusiasts who require a high-strength, permanent bond on diverse materials. Its primary advantage is its ability to create an instant, moisture-resistant hold that dries completely clear, keeping finished projects looking clean and professional. However, because it is a true contact cement, it requires careful alignment before pressing the surfaces together, as the bond is immediate and difficult to reposition once contact is made.

Yes, the formula is waterproof, making it suitable for exterior items provided the surfaces are clean and the bond is allowed to cure properly.
It is compatible with many plastics, but due to the variety of plastic compositions, it is recommended to test on a small area first.
While fresh, it can be wiped away with a suitable solvent. Once fully cured, it is very difficult to remove without damaging the underlying material.
No, this adhesive is not rated for food-contact applications.
While the initial bond is instant upon contact, we recommend allowing the bond to sit for 24 hours to achieve maximum strength.
Ensure both surfaces were coated and allowed to dry until tacky before pressing them together; if the glue was too wet, the bond may fail.
Wait a few extra minutes; the solvent needs more time to evaporate for the 'tacky' phase to be reached.
This is expected behavior for contact cement; use a thinner layer next time to control the initial grab or use guide spacers to assist with alignment.
For best results, work in an environment with good ventilation to allow solvents to evaporate safely. Before applying, test a small, inconspicuous area if you are working with unknown plastics to ensure compatibility. To store, ensure the caps are tightly secured after each use to prevent the adhesive from drying out inside the tube. Store the tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or open flames. Keep the nozzle free of dried residue by wiping it clean with a dry cloth immediately after use.
