Low profile Glue Dots® are thin and used for bonding level items. Glue Dots® are available in three profiles (thicknesses): To speed up testing times, we suggest applying dots to the substrates and heating them up to 150 degrees for three days to simulate results at room temperature after six months. We recommend thoroughly testing the adhesive on given substrates where discoloration is a concern. However, the effects of the oils vary based on the absorption properties of the substrate.Īs the strength level increases, the concentration of oils decreases.

In most cases these oils will not discolor surfaces.

To give these adhesives their removable capabilities, varying degrees of oils are used. Glue Dots are produced using a variety of synthetic, rubber-based adhesives. Low or Medium Tacks are considered removable. Super High Tack creates a permanent bond. Standard Glue Dots® tack (strength) levels: Click here to ask us about our Custom Products. When something other than a 1/2' dot is needed, Custom Products may be the solution. Standard Glue Dots are 1/2' in diameter and come in four adhesive tack levels and three profiles.

Touch the Glue Dot® to the substrate using adhesive application equipment.įaster and safer than hot melt glues and cleaner than liquid adhesives, Glue Dots® bond instantly and, unlike double-sided tapes, do not leave a sticky residue.

Touch the item to be glued to the Glue Dot®, removing it from the silicone paper release liner.

Peel the dots from the release liner by hand.

Glue Dots® are pressure-sensitive adhesives that are sometimes referred to as fugitive glue or booger glue and consist of a spot of glue about the size of a dime (1/2” diameter).
