FAQs

What materials can I use this glue on?

Aleene's Always Ready Original Tacky Glue works well with paper, cardboard, foam, fabric, wood, and some plastics. Always test on a small, hidden area first.

Is this glue safe for children?

Yes, it is non-toxic, making it safe for use by children under supervision.

How long does it take for the glue to dry?

Drying time depends on the amount of glue applied and environmental conditions. Generally, it dries in about an hour, but it’s best to allow several hours for a strong bond.

How do I clean up the glue?

Clean up with soap and water while the glue is wet. Once dried, it's difficult to remove.

Can this glue be used on metal or glass?

While it can adhere to some metal and glass surfaces, the bond may not be as strong or permanent. It's best suited for porous materials.

How should I store this glue?

Store in a cool, dry place. Make sure to replace the cap tightly after use to prevent the glue from drying out.

What if the glue bottle clogs?

If the bottle clogs, try wiping the nozzle clean with a damp cloth or a pin to clear the opening.

Troubleshooting

Glue isn't sticking

Ensure the surfaces are clean and dry. Apply a sufficient amount of glue, and press the items together firmly. Allow proper drying time.

Glue is visible after drying

Use a thinner layer of glue. For delicate materials, apply a small amount using a toothpick or fine applicator. Allow it to dry completely.

Glue takes too long to dry

Ensure that enough time is given for drying. If the humidity is high, allow extra drying time. Ensure the glue is not applied too thickly.
