FAQs
How do I clean up spilled glue?
For fresh spills, use a damp cloth or sponge with water to wipe the area clean. For dried glue, you may need to gently scrape it off or soak the area with warm water.
Is this glue suitable for children?
Yes, this glue is washable and generally safe for children's craft activities. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children.
Will the glue be visible on my project?
The glue is designed to dry clear, so it should not be visible once fully dried, provided it is applied in a thin, even layer.
Can I use this glue on fabric?
Yes, it can be used for light fabric crafts, such as appliqué or attaching decorative elements. For washable garments, ensure the glue is applied to the craft project itself, not directly onto clothing that requires professional laundering.
What surfaces is this glue not suitable for?
This glue is not recommended for non-porous materials like glass, metal, or most plastics, nor is it suitable for heavy-duty bonding or structural applications.
How long does the glue typically take to dry?
Drying time can vary depending on the thickness of application and environmental conditions. For a thin layer on porous materials, it typically dries within 15-30 minutes, with full bonding achieved after a few hours.
What does 'PVA' stand for?
PVA stands for Polyvinyl Acetate, a common type of synthetic polymer used in many adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not flowing from the nozzle.
Check if the nozzle cap has been fully removed. If the anti-clog feature seems ineffective, gently poke a thin wire or pin into the nozzle opening to clear any blockage. Ensure the bottle is squeezed firmly.
Glue is drying too quickly on the project.
Apply glue in smaller sections if working on a large area. Lightly dampen the surface being glued if appropriate for the material, or use the spreader to distribute the glue more thinly.
Glue leaves visible white marks after drying.
Ensure the glue is applied in a thin, even layer. If excess glue is present, wipe it away with a damp cloth immediately after application. Allow adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area.
Spreader is difficult to use or clean.
Ensure the spreader is clean before each use. If glue has dried on it, soak the spreader in warm water for a few minutes to soften the adhesive before attempting to clean it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The glue is ready for use straight from the blister pack. Ensure the nozzle cap is removed before the first use. The integrated glue spreader is ready to be utilized immediately.
Compatibility: This PVA glue is best suited for porous materials such as paper, cardstock, cardboard, fabric (for craft purposes), and lightweight craft embellishments. It is not recommended for non-porous surfaces like plastic or metal, nor for structural bonding applications.
Care: Store the glue in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always replace the cap securely after use to maintain the integrity of the nozzle and prevent drying. To clean the nozzle or spreader, wipe with a damp cloth before the glue dries. If the glue dries on surfaces, it can usually be softened with water. For fabric, wash as soon as possible according to fabric care instructions.
