Review on Advanced Multicolor Krazy Glue KG48348MR by Brian Garrett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great glue! Instructions are terribly inaccurate

This is the best Krazy Glue and Super Glue you will find anywhere. If you need to super glue something, this is what you're looking for and it's the best option as it provides a virtually indestructible seal. You can't go wrong. Unlike most superglues, it does not dry out even when stored correctly and upright. These, along with E6000 Craft and some Elmer Adhesives, are the only adhesives you will ever need in your home. Meets all requirements. BUT. As the title suggests, it is very important to note that this Krazy Glue comes with VERY poor instructions. When I first used this glue I followed the directions, added a small amount to one piece and pressed it in place for 30 seconds and unfortunately it fell apart when I released it. I then waited about 5 seconds, pulled the pieces apart as they still had glue on them, and then pressed them together for a minute. They stayed. Judging by the bottle, the glue is liquid. Liquid straight out of the bottle, NOT sticky. It's true that you only need a small amount of glue, but the way to apply this glue is to apply it to one of the parts (or a small amount to both), wait 5-10 seconds before gluing the parts put it together, and hold it in place for a minute (don't wait TOO long before putting it together or it may get messy). Contrary to the 30 seconds specified in the instructions. It takes some time for the glue to become tacky, although the instructions don't say so. Straight out of the bottle the glue is non-tacky and will NOT stick. After that, you must leave the product on for a full 24 hours before use. This allows the glue to harden. All super glue should cure according to the instructions, don't talk about it. You cannot use it right after application or even an hour after application. You have to wait a full 24 hours for it to dry completely. Believe me. Other than that, like I said at the beginning, this glue is great. Whenever something breaks or tears I always reach for this adhesive knowing it will do the job and last forever. I have glued on a ring that I wear every day (in the shower, while sleeping etc.) that I never take off, and that was a few months ago and so far there have been no problems or signs of glue wear. This glue is waterproof and very reliable. Forget the average cheap hardware store super glue that dries so quickly. Stored properly, this glue will never dry out or get dirty at all (keep it upright!). The tip is very long and very precise (the best!). Flip it upside down and let the glue flow out of the nozzle for a second to get rid of the air and then it's ready to use. Very easy and convenient. I can't stress enough that I use this for everything, including things on the outside. Highly recommended. Great glue, instructions failed.
