2. Setup

Before applying the glue, ensure all surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or grease. Prepare your workspace by covering it to protect against spills. Gather any tools you might need for application, such as toothpicks for fine details or cotton swabs for spreading.

To open the glue bottle, twist the red cap to break the seal. The fine tip allows for controlled dispensing. Always keep the cap securely closed when not in use to prevent the glue from drying out.

3. Operating Instructions (Application)

Apply a thin, even coat of BEACON 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue to one of the surfaces you wish to bond. For best results, work in small sections to manage application before it sets.

Press the surfaces together firmly. The glue offers an instant grab, but allows for slight repositioning before setting. Hold the pieces in place for a few moments to ensure initial adhesion.

Drying and Curing:

• Dry Time: Approximately 1 hour.
• Full Cure Time: 24 hours for maximum strength.

4. Maintenance

After each use, ensure the red cap is securely placed back onto the bottle to prevent air exposure and premature drying of the glue. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

If the glue becomes too thick, it can be thinned with acetone. Always test on a scrap piece of material first to ensure desired consistency and performance.

5. Troubleshooting

• Glue Dries Too Quickly: This glue has a fast dry time. Work in smaller sections to manage application before it sets.
• Stringiness: Some users may experience stringiness during application. This can be minimized by applying steady pressure and quickly lifting the nozzle.
• Difficulty Removing Dried Glue: For removal, dry cleaning is recommended. Acetone can also be used to dissolve the glue, but always test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damage to your material.
• Bottle Leakage: Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use. Store the bottle upright to prevent potential leakage from the nozzle.
