Frequently asked questions

Can you repair leather with super glue?

No, super glue is not recommended for repairing leather.

For long-lasting results, use Bostik Leather Repair, which is specifically formulated for repairing leather and imitation leather. Its flexible bond helps repairs move with the material, reducing the risk of the bond becoming brittle over time.

Super glue does not provide the flexibility typically required for effective leather repairs, especially on items that bend, flex or experience regular movement.

How do I prepare the surfaces to be glued?

Before applying glue, ensure that all surfaces are of sound nature and clean, dry and free from dust, grease or any other contamination.

How do you remove spray adhesive?

To remove Bostik Spray Adhesive residue or overspray, clean the affected area as soon as possible after application using a cloth dampened with mineral turps.

The same method can be used to clean the spray nozzle after use. Prompt clean-up can help prevent adhesive build-up and keep the product working effectively.

Is Spray Adhesive flammable?

Most solvent-based adhesives are flammable. When using Fast Tak always work in a ventilated area and do not breathe in vapours. Avoid exposing the product to any ignition sources. Do not smoke when working with adhesives.

What is spray adhesive and how do you use it?

Bostik Spray Adhesive is a multipurpose adhesive supplied in an aerosol can for bonding lightweight materials in arts, crafts, displays, decorations and model-making projects.

To use Bostik Spray Adhesive, ensure the surfaces are clean and dry, shake the can well, and spray an even coat onto the required surface from the recommended distance. Allow the adhesive to become tacky before joining the materials together and apply firm pressure to achieve a good bond.

Bostik Spray Adhesive can be used on a variety of lightweight materials and is designed for fast, convenient application.
