About this product
Gorilla Glue Crystal Clear offers a robust bonding solution for a wide range of household projects. This versatile adhesive is formulated by Gorilla and utilises an acrylic/polyurethane blend to provide a strong hold on materials such as wood, stone, metal, ceramic, foam, glass, concrete and brick. It’s designed for both indoor and outdoor repairs, offering resistance against moderate water exposure – making it suitable for tasks like wall repair or tile fixing.
The Crystal Clear formula is notable for its transparency; it dries genuinely clear, allowing the repaired area to remain virtually invisible. Its non-expanding foam-free design ensures precise application and prevents the adhesive from increasing in size during use, simplifying projects and ensuring accurate placement. A full cure time of 24 hours allows for a strong, lasting bond once dry.
This product comes in a tube format containing 110 millilitres of liquid adhesive with a medium to high viscosity level. It’s supplied as a single unit and is ideal for users undertaking DIY repairs and building projects where a clear, durable bond is required. The manufacturer provides a 12-month warranty on the product.
Please note that while water resistant, this glue isn't suitable for continuous submersion. Working time is shorter than standard PVA glue. Refer to Amazon’s terms regarding returns should you require them.
