Elmer's E455 Extra-Strength Spray Adhesive, 13.5 oz, Aerosol

Dear Elmer's Glue,When I ordered your Extra Strength Spray Adhesive, I had no idea of the level of commitment you have to your product description! I merely wanted to mount some old textiles to backers to preserve them...little did I realize that I would soon find out the true meaning of "adhered" as well as "permanently bonded"!In the past, I have often read strong claims on the side of packaging that have been somewhat exaggerated, leaving me, the consumer, somewhat inured to overly ambitious claims. Let me tell you my friends, your product has precluded any such rash judgements on my part for the future. May I suggest that, in the future, in lieu of vague, non specific, claims of strong adhesion, you print, in large red letters "Overspray will get all over your skin and will immediately bind you to anything (and everything) you touch". While you are at it, you might want to make an extra special warning, in great bold lettering, not to use the product without prophylactic protection on any potentially exposed skin, especially skin with hair on it. I was wearing shorts while using your product...my left upper leg is now as smooth as a Brazilian fan dancer's and my oh my was that an interesting experience.Now, having said all this, please do not consider this in any way a complaint, for I was truly impressed (albeit unprepared) by your product and, now that I am so painfully aware of it's true power and potential, I can hardly wait for my next opportunity to use it. In fact, the practical joke potential of this product is almost incalculable. I am also considering the Home security aspects of this product...It will be like fly paper for people...I will be coating the inside of all of my window sills...as soon as I figure out how to keep the cats off of them...

This spray is best to be used outdoors because it does have a smell to it. But it's expected with a product like this. It is super sticky so be sure that your item isn't laying in any dirt or dust because it will stick to your item. Or in my case, dog hair! We were making banners for our town's parade. We were gluing on glitter to stars and then gluing those stars to the banner paper. The glitter we used,  Charles Leonard Inc. Glitter, 16 Ounce Bottle (1 lb), Silver (41145) , silver, red, blue and iridescent stayed put with this spray, even days after the parade. Very strong and great product when you need something to stick and stay stuck!

Let me just say this: don't spray too close to the item or you'll leave a permanent wet spot on it. I was using the spray for two-layer invitations, and while it works well, you do have to have the right setup to use it. Make sure you have good ventilation and a large area, or else you'll be gagging at the smell and getting everything covered in spray glue. It does the job, though, and for larger products, it's probably an excellent choice for adhesive. For smaller products, just use a glue stick or glue bottle. It does work well, though, regardless of the project size.

I have used this product before with great result. Always bought from local retailer. I ordered this from Amazon and it was delivery defective. It came to me with no propellant to spray out the glue. Since Amazon has a (no return policy) on returning any items containing flammable liquids or gas, I am stuck with a product I can use. Ill never buy product from Amazon like this again.

Elmer's makes it sticky and this is serious glue. This is not you kids school glue. this is some super cool sticky stuff and when used as intended it gets the job done. I have a few things made using this glue and since 2012 this glue is still hangin in there and the thing made with this glue has been in sub zero temps, in 117 degrees relentless heat for an entire summer in Arizona and right back into rainy and wet and muddy condition and through countless car washes and this glue has endured more than anyone will normally put it through. The little magnetic signs that this glue holds together passed my torture test and will be the ONLY spray glue I will use. This is your glue for tough jobs but make sure your application calls for this type of glue so you don't mess up your project. Be safe and follow safety rules for best results

Headliner in my Galant came loose along the rear window. Used Elmer's to spray the headliner and the foam it goes against , gave it few seconds to set and pressed the headliner against the roof. It stuck right away and I had to smooth it out to eliminate bubbling - got it almost perfect, but being where it is, you can't see few minor bubbles. Not sure if they can be eliminated as the cloth stretches with age. Glue dried completely clear on the headliner - can't see it at all. The over spray on the glass cleaned up quickly with WD-40 and the smell was gone in a day. Excellent product that saved hundreds it would have taken to redo it in the upholstery shop.Update 5/21/2014 - maybe not so good if you park outside. After a while noticed that headliner came loose again. Repeated the procedure - same results - very nice adhesion, no traces of glue once dried but eventually came loose. Maybe if I parked car inside , it would hold better against California sun, who knows. Eventually, got tiny plastic furniture spiral tacks and screwed them in together with gluing - that has been permanent since.
