Gorilla Fabric Glue: Best Tips

When you know the product you are working with, you are ensuring yourself the best possible results that will last. 

So what are the best tips when it comes to Gorilla Fabric glue?

Application Tips

If you want the best bonding results, apply the glue to both surfaces. 

Then, let it partially dry before firmly pressing the two materials together. 

Coverage

You don’t need to use a large quantity of glue to get the job done. 

Use one drop (about a pea size) per square inch. 

Working Time

The working time is somewhere between 1 and 5 minutes. 

The strongest and best bond results from an open time of 1-2 minutes – this is measured from when you apply and spread the glue to when you press the materials together. 

The glue is not repositionable once you firmly press the fabric together. 

Gorilla Glue: What can you use it for?

Gorilla Glue is a versatile adhesive. 

You can use it for various needs and purposes. 

You can use Gorilla Glue to apply:

• Patches 
• Trims 
• Beads
• And various other decorative items such as buttons or stones

How to store Gorilla Fabric Glue

First things first. 

Once you use the glue, wipe the nozzle with a clean, dry cloth. Ensure you remove any glue residues or stains; otherwise, the cap will glue to the nozzle. 

Place the cap back and secure it. 

Store in a dry and cool place where neither children nor animals can reach the product. 

Can You Use The Regular Gorilla Glue On Fabric?

Until now, we have talked about Gorilla Fabric Glue, which you know is specifically designed and formulated to safely and effectively work on fabrics. 

You have discovered all its great features and know which steps to take for the best strength bonding with this glue. 

But what about the “regular” Gorilla Glue? Can you use that one on fabric?

Gorilla Glue is made with a water-activated polyurethane formula which delivers a long-lasting and high-strength bond.

But this regular adhesive isn’t designed or formulated with fabrics in mind.

Regular Gorilla Glue is designed for rougher repairs with different types of materials in mind, such as wood, ceramic, concrete, and others. 

Plus, the finish of this glue is brittle, and we are sure you don’t want that on your fabric because it won’t look pretty or neat.

What about other glues for fabric?

Gorilla Fabric Glue isn’t the only adhesive ideal for gluing fabric.

How To Remove Gorilla Glue From Fabric

Gorilla Glue, as described above, sets fast and creates a very strong bond. 

It may take some time to remove it from the fabric, but it can be done. 

For this, you will need the following:

• A clean soft cloth or cotton balls 
• A soft-bristled clean toothbrush 

If you need to remove Gorilla Glue from the fabric, follow these steps:

6. Once you have removed all glue residues from the fabric, wash the fabric in the washing machine using a warm wash cycle
