The Gorilla Contact Adhesive Clear 75g is an incredibly versatile tool that has quickly become a staple in my DIY toolkit. One of the standout features is its repositionable ability, which holds materials in seconds but also offers flexibility when positioning. This makes it ideal for precision tasks, ensuring you get things exactly right before the final bond.
Another fantastic feature is its 100% waterproof nature, making it perfect for fabrics that may go through the washer and dryer. I’ve tested it on a couple of different fabric projects, and it’s held up spectacularly well every time. The fact that it dries clear adds another layer of utility, especially for tasks involving glass or other transparent materials.
Applying the adhesive is straightforward. Just apply it to each surface, wait for about two minutes for maximum bond strength, and then join the surfaces. If you need to reposition, you still have a window of 2-4 minutes, depending on the type of surface you’re working with.
However, it’s important to note that this adhesive is not suitable for all materials. It doesn’t work well with polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS) plastics, or rubbers with high oil or plasticizer content. Additionally, it’s not food safe, so keep that in mind for any kitchen-related projects.
The no-run formula offers increased control, and I found the adhesive remains flexible once cured, which adds to its durability. Overall, the Gorilla Contact Adhesive Clear 75g combines flexibility, ease of use, and exceptional bonding strength, making it a fantastic choice for a wide range of projects.
