Let’s be honest here. In your extensive preparation for the school year, it is very likely that a few essentials were accidentally looked over. Glue was probably one of them. It’s one of those things that you don’t really think you need until the heel of your shoe pops off or anything else potentially disastrous. Luckily, in times like this, Krazy Glue has our backs.

It’s great because it’s stronger than that regular white glue you might remember needing for class in elementary school. Just put a little – a LITTLE – drop of the stuff on whatever you need to stick together, hold it together for 10 to 30 seconds, let it have a full two minutes of rest at least to settle, and you’ll have two things very well stuck together! But, that doesn’t mean this glue has no limits. It doesn’t work too well if you try to use it on paper or foam or polyethylene or rear view mirrors. Also! remember to clean the surfaces first – otherwise, you’ll just be gluing together two layers of dust and oil.

Luckily, it also has a weak spot – just in case you accidentally stuck two things you didn’t want together, like your fingers. Just use some nail polish remover that has acetone to soak the glue and gently peel or roll it off. On that note, please note that this stuff is not meant to be ingested. So, it’s best to keep it away from your nose, eyes, and mouth. And if you want your tube of glue to last longer, be sure to have the lid securely attached when you aren’t using it.

Good luck avoiding all those sticky situations with the help of Krazy Glue!
