Repair

No, super glue is not recommended for repairing leather.

For the best results, use Bostik Leather Repair, which is specifically designed for repairing leather and imitation leather. Its flexible bond helps the repair move with the material and remain durable over time.

Super glue does not provide the flexibility typically required for effective leather repairs, which can affect the long-term performance of the bond.

• Clean bonding surfaces thoroughly. Remove any trace of water, oil, grease, dust and other impurities.
• Apply even coats of Rugby Excel on both surfaces. For porous materials like wood, fabric, canvas, leather, foam, concrete, etc., apply second coat over the first coat.
• Allow surface to dry for 20–30 minutes. Avoid excessive drying.
• Join the materials together, ensuring parts are properly aligned before pressing. Press parts by applying a uniform pressure by hand or mechanical pressure such as rollers or hammer.

Rugby Excel may be removed with suitable solvent cleaner immediately before the glue dries.

Rugby Original may be removed with suitable solvent cleaner immediately before the glue dries.

1. Ensure surfaces are clean; dry free from grease and loose materials.
2. For best results, surfaces and surroundings should be pleasantly warm.
3. Take out a sheet of dots from the wallet.
4. Fold and then tear off, along the perforations, to remove as many dots as required.

Keep Rugby Excel containers tightly closed after use. Keep away from electrical and other ignition sources.

Bostik Fabric Glue forms a permanent bond by adhering to the fibres of the fabric.

Bostik Fabric Glue may feel dry to the touch in a relatively short time, but we recommend allowing around 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure. This helps ensure the bond reaches its maximum strength before the fabric is worn, washed or handled extensively.

Drying times can vary depending on the fabric type, the amount of adhesive applied and the surrounding temperature and humidity.

The drying time of El Heneral is 3 hours.

The full curing time of El Heneral is 3 days.

Yes, Bostik Fabric Glue is machine-washable so is perfect for clothing repairs and can withstand everyday wear and tear.

Rinse your fingers immediately with plenty of warm soapy water and do not pull on the skin that has been glued. If glue remains after using warm soapy water, it will often de-bond within a couple of days due to general wear and tear and the natural oils in the skin. If skin irritation occurs, consult a doctor.

El Heneral is used for the for the following:

• Bonding old to new concrete
• Dowelling of metal to concrete
• Bonding joints between various material like concrete, metal, wood, glass, ceramics and porcelain
• Other structural applications where parts are subject to heavy load

El Kapitan is used for the for bonding and finishing of:

• Marine plywood
• Wooden boat
• Woodcraft
• Construction
• Ceramics
• Furmiture

El Supremo is used for the for the following:

• Bonding old to new concrete
• Dowelling of metal to concrete
• Bonding joints between various material like concrete, metal, wood, glass, ceramics and porcelain
• Other structural applications where parts are subject to heavy load

Yes, Bostik Fabric Glue can help reduce fraying by securing loose fibres along the edge of the fabric. The flexible bond helps keep the material intact while maintaining the fabric's appearance.

This makes Bostik Fabric Glue a useful choice for fabric repairs, alterations and craft projects where preventing frayed edges is important.

Yes. Its non-slump formulation makes it suitable for application on vertical and overhead surfaces.

Yes. The cured silicone rubber provides resistance to vibration and thermal cycling, helping maintain sealing performance under demanding conditions.

Yes. Uncured excess can be removed with a cloth dampened with mineral turpentine or an appropriate solvent. Once fully cured, the sealant can be removed mechanically by trimming.

1. Peel off the printed release paper to reveal a Glu Dot left on the clear backing. The Glu Dot is now ready for use.
2. Press the Glu Dot firmly onto the item to be bonded and then slowly and carefully peel off the clear backing.
3. The Glu Dot will be adhered to the item, which can now be bonded to the other surface.

To remove Glu Dots, carefully and slowly peel the adhesive away from the surface.

As the adhesive becomes stronger over time, any remaining residue can be removed by gently rubbing and rolling it off the surface. Taking your time during removal can help achieve the best results

Under standard curing conditions, the sealant develops a tack-free surface within approximately 8–15 minutes and typically reaches full cure within 24 hours. Actual curing time depends on temperature and humidity.
