FAQs

Are Bostik Glu Dots waterproof?

Bostik Glu Dots are designed for indoor use and are not rated as waterproof. Prolonged exposure to moisture may weaken the adhesive.

Can I reposition an item after applying a Glu Dot?

Bostik Extra Strength Glu Dots are permanent adhesives. Repositioning is difficult and may damage the item or the surface it's applied to.

How many Glu Dots are in each pack?

Each pack contains 64 Glu Dots, supplied on a flat sheet. This product listing is for 12 such packs.

What is the size of each Glu Dot?

Each Glu Dot is approximately 10mm in diameter.

Are these Glu Dots suitable for children's crafts?

Yes, they are easy and safe to use for children's crafts, offering a mess-free alternative to liquid glue. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children.

Will the adhesive yellow over time?

No, Bostik Glu Dots are formulated to be non-yellowing, ensuring your projects maintain their appearance.

Can I use these on fabric?

While they can adhere to some fabrics, they are primarily designed for paper, plastic, metal, glass, and wood. For reliable fabric adhesion, a specialized fabric adhesive is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Glu dot not sticking well

Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Press down firmly on the dot and the attached item for several seconds.

Difficulty removing backing paper

Use a fingernail or a craft tool to gently lift an edge of the backing paper. Ensure the dot itself is clean before application.

Accidental misplacement

Due to the permanent nature, immediate and careful correction is needed. Gently try to lift the item, but be aware that residue may be left or the item/surface could be damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong, permanent bond instantly.
  • Clean and mess-free application, unlike liquid glues.
  • Invisible adhesive is ideal for visible projects.
  • Versatile for various craft and household tasks.
  • Safe for photos and archival projects due to being acid and lignin-free.

Cons

  • Permanent adhesion makes repositioning difficult.
  • May not be suitable for very heavy or large items.
  • Dots are small, requiring precision for larger areas.
  • Can be less forgiving on delicate surfaces if removed incorrectly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Bostik Glu Dots require no setup. Simply peel the desired dot from the sheet and apply it to the surface or object you wish to adhere. Press firmly to ensure a good bond.

Compatibility: These glu dots are compatible with a wide range of materials including paper, cardstock, photos, wood, plastic, metal, glass, and painted surfaces. They are particularly effective for lightweight to medium-weight items.

Care: Store unused glu dots in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain adhesive quality. Ensure the sheets are kept flat. Clean hands before use to avoid transferring oils to the adhesive surface.
