Product Use and Application

Q: Which applicator should I use?

We like to give you choices. Pick the one you prefer: Precision Tip The one-drop precision tip provides maximum control for accurate fixes and less mess on your hands. Brush Brush-on applicator provides excellent surface coverage and is ideal for large surfaces and hard-to-reach areas. Precision Control Pen Now you can have maximum accuracy for delicate tasks. No excess drips, no mess. Simply use the pressure grips to release a controlled drop onto your surface. Glue indicator shows how much remains. Fine Tip Fine-tip, single-use applicators contain just enough in each tube for one fast fix. They’re convenient, quick, and easy to use. Great to store or take with you. Keep a tube anywhere you might need a repair. The glue stays fresh in the tube until you need it. Extended Tip The long, no-clog neck of the Extended Precision Tip is ideal for applying in corners and tight spaces. Hanger cap makes it easy to carry with you for whenever you need it. EZ Squeeze The larger size and sure-grip panel on the container makes applying the glue a simple squeeze. Long, no-clog tip allows for maximum accuracy.

Q: Do I need to hold my glued pieces in place with clamps?

Krazy Glue ® begins to form a bond in about 10 to 60 seconds so you can often just hold pieces in place until the bond sets in about two minutes. For Krazy Glue Wood Glue, this depends on the wood type and the amount of moisture in the air. It takes 2 to 6 minutes to begin to set, then after 6 minutes, it forms a workable bond to many wood types. Allow the full strength bond to form overnight but since Krazy Glue does not expand as it cures, this dramatically reduces the need to clamp your bond.

Q: How should I prepare a surface before gluing?

Krazy Glue ® bonds to a surface on a molecular level. If the surface has dirt, grease, or oil on it, the glue cannot access the actual surface you are trying to bond. Therefore, surfaces to be adhered should be clean and dry before applying Krazy Glue. Wood surfaces should be sanded or planed flat with paint, varnish, dust, or glue residue removed.

How much Krazy Glue® should I use?

You may be able to use less than you think. We’ve tested Krazy Glue and discovered that one single drop can hold more than 1000 lbs. on steel. With this said, using too much glue or spreading glue too thin will result in a poor bond or no bond at all.

What precautions should I take while using Krazy Glue?

Krazy Glue® products should be used with appropriate chemical resistant gloves, clothing, and protective eyewear. Skin contact through non-chemical resistant clothing may cause skin irritation. Contact with cotton clothing or materials (e.g., cotton balls or swabs) may cause a chemical reaction, resulting in generation of heat and/or ignition, which can cause burns. If spilled on clothing, remove clothing promptly and flush with cold water. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for product-specific hazards and care instructions.
