PREPARE
All surfaces must be clean, tight-fitting and free of dirt, grease and oil. Avoid contact with clothing as Gorilla Glue Clear Gel will stain clothes.
APPLY
1. For lighter weight projects: Apply Gorilla Glue Clear Gel to one surface. Position and press surfaces firmly together within 5 minutes.
2. For heavier weight projects*: Apply on both surfaces in thin, even layers. Leave for 3-5 minutes. Once Gorilla Glue Clear Gel has become tacky, press items together firmly. Grip or use Gorilla Tape® to hold objects together. Maintain gripping pressure for at least 2 hours.
Full cure in 24 hours. Not recommended for use on polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) plastics.
*For most projects, clamping is not necessary; however, it will help achieve maximum bond strength.
STORAGE
After each use, wipe nozzle clean with a dry cloth and replace lid – do not overtighten. Cured glue may be removed by scraping from surface. Store in a cool, dry place with exposure to light. Lack of light and heat can cause product to yellow. Store away from children and animals.

#Does Gorilla Glue Clear Gel need clamping? / +No, Gorilla Glue Clear Gel does not require projects to be clamped. However, for heavier weight projects, we recommend the use of a clamp to support the weight.
#How is Gorilla Glue Clear Gel different from Gorilla Glue Clear? / +Gorilla Glue Clear Gel is a Gorilla Glue offering that requires no clamping, with a thicker gel formula that’s perfect for precise or vertical applications. It is an easy-to-use, all-purpose adhesive available in a user-friendly tube. Our Gorilla Glue Clear formula is crystal clear, requires clamping and is a thinner formula than Gorilla Glue Clear Gel. We would recommend using Gorilla Glue Clear Gel for projects which are not able to be clamped, or for vertical/precision projects where it’s important that the glue doesn’t run/drip.
#How is Gorilla Glue Clear Gel different from Gorilla Contact Adhesive? / +Gorilla Glue Clear Gel is an all-purpose formula, whereas Contact Adhesive is a solvent-based formula. We would recommend using Contact Adhesive for projects where a flexible or waterproof bond is required, for example, on fabrics, leather, etc. Gorilla Glue Clear Gel is better suited for stronger, rigid, or vertical projects, such as glass or metal. If you would like more information on how Gorilla products bond to specific substrates, please check out our Gorilla Glue Guide or contact our technical team via the Contact Us section on the website.
#What is the cure time of Gorilla Glue Clear Gel? / +Gorilla Glue Clear Gel has an open working time of 5 minutes. Once surfaces have been pressed together, the glue will take a minimum of 2 hours to cure, but we advise waiting 24 hours for full cure. For heavier projects, apply glue to both surfaces in thin, even layers and leave for 3-5 minutes, until it becomes tacky, then press together firmly. Grip or use Gorilla Tape to hold objects together and maintain the gripping pressure for at least 2 hours.
#Does Gorilla Glue Clear Gel foam/shrink? / +No, Gorilla Glue Clear Gel will not foam or shrink as it cures.
#What is the approximate shelf-life of Gorilla Glue Clear Gel? / +The approximate shelf life of Gorilla Glue Clear Gel is up to 2 years, unopened from date of manufacture. Once opened, there is no standard time; it will be dependent on storage conditions and the age of the product. Up to 6/9 months is a good guideline. For optimum longevity of your Gorilla Glue Clear Gel, store in a cool, dry place with exposure to light. Lack of light and heat can cause the product to yellow. Store away from children and animals.
#Does Gorilla Glue Clear Gel have UV resistance? / +Yes, Gorilla Glue Clear Gel has UV resistance and can be used in outdoor applications that are exposed to sunlight.
#How much Gorilla Glue Clear Gel do I need to apply to my project? / +For lighter-weight projects, apply Gorilla Glue Clear Gel to one surface before pressing together. For heavier-weight projects, apply on both surfaces in thin, even layers. Leave for 3-5 minutes, until it becomes tacky, then press the items together firmly. Grip or use Gorilla Tape to hold objects together. Maintain gripping pressure for at least 2 hours.
#How do I store my Gorilla Glue Clear Gel? / +After each use, wipe the nozzle clean with a dry cloth and replace the lid – do not overtighten. There is a metal pin in the cap to maximise longevity. Store in a cool, dry place with exposure to light. Lack of light and heat can cause the product to yellow. Store away from children and animals.
#Is Gorilla Glue Clear Gel flexible? / +Gorilla Glue Clear Gel is slightly flexible once cured.
#Can Gorilla Glue Clear Gel be used on vertical applications? / +Yes, Gorilla Glue Clear Gel’s thick formula allows it to be used on vertical applications for lightweight projects. For heavier projects, we would recommend clamping the project.
#Is Gorilla Glue Clear Gel gap-filling? / +Gorilla Glue Clear Gel is gap-filling for small gaps and cracks less than 3mm (1/8”). If you require a project that’s gap-filling, we have products in our range better-suited to this application, such as Epoxy or Grab Adhesive. If you would like more information on which Gorilla product is best for your application, please check out our Gorilla Glue Guide or contact our technical team via the Contact Us section on the website.
#How do I remove Gorilla Glue Clear Gel from my surface? / +To clean up whilst the glue is wet, wipe the adhesive with a dry cloth and clean with isopropyl alcohol. If the glue has dried, gently scrape the surface to remove, being careful not to damage the surface underneath.
#How do I remove Gorilla Glue Clear Gel from my skin? / +Wipe the adhesive with a dry cloth, then wash the area with soap and water. Rinse well with plenty of water.
#What is the temperature range of Gorilla Glue Clear Gel? / +Gorilla Glue Clear Gel is best applied at room temperature, but can be applied between 0°C and 37°C (32°F and 100°F). Once cured, it will hold strong between -29°C and 82°C (-20°F and 180°F). Exposing the glue to temperatures outside of this range may degrade the bond.
#What materials/surfaces will Gorilla Glue Clear Gel bond well with/work well on? / +Gorilla Glue Clear Gel will work well on a variety of surfaces, including metal, glass, ceramic, stone and wood. Its thick, non-drip formula lends itself to vertical or precise applications. It will work on plastics; however, it is not recommended for use on polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) plastics. For rubber applications, we advise roughening the surface prior to use.
#Is Gorilla Glue Clear Gel waterproof? / +Gorilla Glue Clear Gel is water-resistant and therefore can be used in outdoor applications with moderate water exposure, for example, rain showers. However, it is not waterproof and cannot be used in applications which are permanently exposed to water or submerged. It has not been tested for aquatic toxicity, so we are not able to recommend its use for applications in aquariums or water features.
#What should I do if I think a human or animal ingested Gorilla Glue Clear Gel? / +For medical emergencies, seek medical assistance immediately. Call 999 for emergency services. For animal emergencies, contact a vet or animal specialist immediately. Warning and hazard information, including the Unique Formula Identifier (UFI), for Poison Centres, can be found on product packaging and in the product Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Gorilla Glue Clear Gel
