How to Use

Apply a small amount of glue to wax paper (about the size of an aspirin or dime). Use a toothpick to apply a drop (or several drops depending on the size of the piece being glued) on one surface. Place pieces together and hold under pressure per manufacturer's recommendation. Refer to aliphatic glue page for pictures. The procedure is the same. Once the glue on the wax paper starts to film over the glue should not be used.
