Gorilla Contact Adhesive is a flexible, fast-drying, crystal clear glue that creates a strong, permanent bond on an exceptionally wide range of materials. Its no-run formula holds in seconds but remains repositionable for a short time, giving you the control to get the position right before it sets. Once fully cured it is 100% waterproof, paintable, and washing machine safe — making it as useful for fabric and textile projects as it is for woodwork, metalwork, and general repairs.
The crystal clear formula applies and dries transparent, making it ideal for glass, ceramics, and any application where a visible glue line would be unacceptable. Available in a 20ml tube for smaller jobs and a 75g tube for larger or more frequent use.
