Application instructions
1. Prepare the surface:
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oils, or coatings. Lightly sand very smooth or painted surfaces for better adhesion.
2. Apply the glue:
Spread a generous amount of Gorilla Wood Glue to one or both wood surfaces, depending on the porosity. Press surfaces together so a small amount squeezes out.
3. Clamp:
Clamp the parts firmly for 20–30 minutes. Parts should fit tightly. Allow 24 hours for full cure.
4. Cleanup:
Wipe off excess glue with a damp cloth while still wet. For dried glue, carefully scrape with a knife or scraper. Always clean the nozzle after use to prevent clogging.
