Review: Excellent craft transparent glue! - Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue (based on its performance across several different projects). This adhesive is a clear-drying alternative to standard craft glues, formulated for projects where a transparent finish is necessary. After multiple uses on various crafts below are some observations: • Visual Results: The gel is designed to apply and dry clear. It maintains this transparency without yellowing, making it suitable for glass, jewelry, or clear plastics. • Handling & Texture: The thick gel consistency prevents the adhesive from running or dripping. This allows for controlled placement on vertical surfaces or small, rounded objects. • Bonding Process: It features an initial tacky grip, which helps stabilize components quickly. While it requires time to fully cure, the initial hold reduces the need for constant manual pressure or clamping. • Maintenance: The formula is non-toxic and low-odor; any wet excess can be cleaned up using soap and water. The majority of our applications have been on paper, wood, plastic, metals, photos, wires, for crafts. The product works wonders on these surfaces!
Review: Love this glue! - Aleene’s Clear Tacky Glue is my go to glue for all of my crafts. The clear is perfect for crafts like making Christmas Ornaments, string art or any craft that needs a clear glue. This glue is thick, but ca. still be easily spread around, or as my current product needed - dipped in to glue. It is odorless, dries clear, and is easy to squeeze out of the bottle. I grew up using the original Aleene’s Tacky Glue.There was always at least one bottle of the glue in our craft cabinet. I highly recommend the clear and all of Aileene’s line of glues.This is one product that has stood the test of time!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this glue dry flexible?**
A: Although Aleene's® Clear Gel Tacky Glue is not as flexible as Aleene's® fabric glues, it has “intermediate/slight flexibility.”  More flexible than Aleene's® Original Tacky Glue.


The flexibility result would depend on to what surface it is applied. An example would be that it makes paper slightly stiff, but doesn’t crack when flexed. So again the flexibility results would depend on the project.

It is always recommended to test first in an inconspicuous area to ensure optimal results.

**Q: If I add glitter to this glue and brush it on to appliques will it work and make them sparkle?**
A: No, this will not work on appliques. This is best suited for lightweight craft projects such as paper and cardstock. If you have any further inquiries, please contact Aleene's at info@aleenes.com or call 1-888-345-0764.

**Q: Would this work to glue 2 pieces of silicone sheets together? Like end to end as a bracelet.**
A: No, it wouldn't work. Silicone is a product that glue does not stick to. I don't know what you could use to fuse the ends together.

**Q: could i use this to glue transparent vinyl film to a mirror? Would I still be able to see myself in the mirror or would the glue be too murky?**
A: I wouldn't think gel glue would be the product to use. I suggest reading the instructions for attaching window film to mirrors. There is plenty of information on the internet.
