Aleene's Original Tacky Glue - Instructions for Use

Always test for best results.

  1. On paper, cloth, and porous materials, spread or brush on a thin coat, press and let dry.
  2. On wood, pottery, and semi-porous materials, apply a heavy coat, compress with a heavy weight or clamp together, then let set 30-40 minutes.
  3. While glue is wet, remove excess glue with a damp cloth.

Dry time will depend on how much glue was used and the temperature and humidity level in your area. A general dry time estimate for this glue is 37-47 minutes based on testing with a 3-millimeter coating at 21-22 degrees Celsius. Thicker applications will dry at a slower rate.
