The product is highly flammable, so keep it away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources.

FAQs
There is glue on my fingers and I can't remove it, what should I do?
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.
Can you repair leather with super glue?
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.
How do I prepare the surfaces to be glued?
- Ensure surfaces are clean; dry free from grease and loose materials.
- For best results, surfaces and surroundings should be pleasantly warm.
- Take out a sheet of dots from the wallet.
- Fold and then tear off, along the perforations, to remove as many dots as required.
