Product Description
Gorilla Max Strength Clear Construction Adhesive is Gorilla's strongest construction adhesive, combining the strength and versatility you expect from Gorilla with a crystal clear, non-foaming formula. It is easy to dispense, low odor and VOC compliant, and it dries crystal clear so it disappears into the work. The 100% waterproof formula even works under water and is rated for indoor and outdoor use from -40°F to 212°F.
Use it to bond wood, metal, ceramic, tile, stone, brick, foam, glass, mirrors, concrete, drywall, paneling, trim and molding. Customers use it for everything from setting landscape stone and stair-rail caps to installing shower units and repairing furniture. It is repositionable for up to 30 minutes, paintable and sandable after 2 hours, and meets APA AFG-01, ASTM C557 and ASTM D3498 specifications.

Instructions
Please note: Heavy items may require temporary support. Use with mechanical fasteners when hanging large mirrors.
Cartridge
- Make sure all surfaces are clean and free of dirt, grease and oil. Best if used above 40°F.
- Unscrew and remove the nozzle from the top of the cartridge and set it aside.
- Cut the hard plastic tip of the cartridge above the threads, then replace the nozzle.
- Cut the nozzle at a 45° angle to the desired bead size and insert the cartridge into a caulking gun.
- Apply adhesive to one surface in a zig-zag pattern or around the inside perimeter of the object, watching for squeeze-out. On rough, uneven surfaces, use enough adhesive to fill gaps.
- Within 10 minutes, press the surfaces firmly together. The bond is repositionable for 30 minutes.
Tube
- Make sure all surfaces are clean and free of dirt, grease, oil and old adhesive. Work in a well-ventilated area, ideally above 40°F.
- Screw on the nozzle and cut it to the desired bead size.
- Apply in a zig-zag pattern, using enough adhesive to fill gaps on rough, uneven surfaces.
- Within 30 minutes, press the surfaces together and hold for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Remove excess adhesive immediately with a dry cloth. Fully cures within 24 hours.
Clean-Up & Storage
- Wipe off wet adhesive immediately with a dry cloth; isopropyl alcohol or white spirit may be used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cured adhesive must be scraped or removed mechanically.
- Store in a cool, dry place with the nozzle attached and filled with adhesive to seal the container. To reuse, remove the nozzle and clear the cured adhesive from the tip.
- Do not freeze. Keep away from children and animals.
* Multiple cases may be shipped per package in order to minimize the charge for shipping.

- Special orders are non-returnable (and non-cancelable if materials have been already ordered or cut before the cancellation request was received).
- Special order sizes often ship direct from our supplier so will not arrive together with stocked products.
Special Order Minimums
- Minimum requirements apply because a size may be non-stock.
- Minimum Quantities: If a particular size has a minimum item requirement, please only order that size in multiples of that minimum (e.g. if the minimum is 12, then use multiples like 12, 24, 36, etc).

hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
