Winter Weather Can’t Break Our Bonds

With the Northeast reeling from snow and ice storms, and rain drenching us here in California, we wanted to remind you that even the most extreme weather won’t weaken the bonds of Sticky Ass Glue or Sticky Jack Glue.

The bonds that you’ve created using SAG on outdoor items will stand up to:

Freezing Temps: Down to -20F

Rain, Sleet, Snow: SAG and SJG are both 100% waterproof

Wind: Come On, We’re Stubbornly Strong!

So, rest assured that even though the elements may be getting a little more extreme, they are no match for the bonding strength of Sticky Ass Glue and Sticky Jack Glue.

As always feel free to email us with any questions. We can be reached at: glue@stickyassglue.com

Stay dry and warm!!!

Dust Off The Boxes, It’s Holiday Decorating Time!

The countdown to the next set of holidays is on! And if you didn’t already get the Xmas tree this weekend, untangle the cords of the exterior lights, or pull out the dradle, you’ll undoubtedly be doing it soon.

But as so often happens with our families, as soon as we open the holiday decoration boxes there is inevitably a broken ornament, a decoration that’s come apart, or other keepsake that’s been smashed.

That’s why we strongly suggest you have a bottle of Stubbornly Strong Sticky Ass Glue on hand when you start your holiday decorating. Here are just a few items that SAG will fix, so you don’t have to toss out any of your family’s memories:

• Holiday plates, serving platters, cookie jars, mugs
• Pine cone decorations
• Handmade ornaments (glass, wood, clay, ceramic, etc)
• Candle Holders
• Lawn decorations
• Broken Tree Stand (SAG is 100% waterproof, remember?)
• Etc., etc.


So, don’t go throwing out perfectly salvageable holiday trinkets, when they’ll be good as new in no time by using just a little dab of SAG or Sticky Jack Glue!

For questions on repairing any holiday items, shoot us an email at glue@stickyassglue.com and we’ll get right back to you.

Giving Thanks…To You!

We really couldn’t come up with a better time than Thanksgiving to let you know how thankful and grateful we are for you! We’re thankful you’re reading our blog, we’re thankful for all the wonderful reviews we’ve received from Sticky Ass Glue and Sticky Jack Glue users, we’re thankful for our distributors, our retailers and our reps, and we’re thankful to all of you who have given us a shout out in your own blogs!

So with abundant gratitude, we wish you a happy, healthy and safe Thanksgiving!

Warm Holiday Wishes,

The Glue Crew

P.S. If you get to split the wishbone, and it doesn’t go your way, apply a little dab of Sticky Ass Glue, and try again in a few days-betcha the bone will break, but not the bond!!!

Before Your Thanksgiving Drive To Grandma’s…

Chances are if you’re not hosting Thanksgiving, you’re driving somewhere to attend a celebration. While driving over the holiday weekend is always a bit of a nuisance, it can be made a lot more pleasant if your car is fully functional.

Consider that broken cup holder in the backseat. Wouldn’t it be nice if your five year old could use it instead of having to hold their juice the entire way to Grandma’s? A dab of Sticky Ass Glue or Sticky Jack Glue will fix it in a jiffy. Likewise cracks in your dash board can easily be sealed up, as can broken trunk compartments. And because SAG and STJ are 100% waterproof, you can even quickly repair the side view mirror that you cracked when you clipped the garage-oops!

For tips on how to repair any loose or broken car parts (not the engine, mind you!) buzz us at glue@stickyassglue.com and we’ll get right back to you.

Happy Traveling!!!

The Final Countdown To Family Visits!

We don’t want to nag you, but Thanksgiving is going to be soon! If you’re like us, you’re scrambling to get the house spiffed up before family comes to visit.

Instead of making excuses this year such as “oh yeah, that tile just broke yesterday,” go ahead and spend an hour or so making the little repairs that have been on your to-do list for months.

Both Sticky Ass Glue and Sticky Jack Glue will fix your counter tiles, your floor tiles, shower tiles, loose door knobs, cabinet knobs, even your chipped ceramic or porcelain knick knacks. That’s to say nothing of all of the outdoor items you can spruce up in no time.

Hey it’s up to you, but when grandma wants to know why you still haven’t repaired the wooden stairs leading up to your front door, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Here’s to the holiday countdown! Happy Fixing!

Help Winterize Your Home!

With winter on the horizon, winterizing your home is probably a priority. After all, the last thing we need in this economy are soaring heating bills. So when you’re looking for ways to winterize your home, remember that Sticky Ass Glue works on countless materials.

Rubber: Got loose weather stripping on sliding glass doors? SAG will securely bond the rubber back to the metal frame (or even the glass itself).

Bricks: Loose bricks in your home’s foundation can let cold air in. Sticky Ass Glue will set up in 24 hours, sealing gaps in brick.

Wood: Have a loose window frame? Don’t let the hot air out, when you can quickly and easily glue the frame back into its place so as not to waste energy.

When every little bit of savings, counts, remember you can save energy and therefore your pennies by winterizing your home yourself with just a little Sticky Ass Glue.

Got a question about what materials SAG works on? Email us at glue@stickyassglue.com

Trust Your Instincts-Your Nose Knows A Lot!

When you’ve got a big indoor project on your plate, one of the most annoying side effects can be the various smells of chemicals you need to use (including glue). While most of the time smells from products aren’t much more than just bothersome to your olfactory senses, they can cause headaches. But, that won’t be the case with Sticky Ass Glue, which is very low in odor.

In fact, third only to the strength and ease of use, independent product testers ranked the low odor of Sticky Ass Glue as one of their favorite features.

So, even when you’re cooped up this winter, don’t shy away from big indoor projects requiring glue. We promise Sticky Ass Glue won’t have you rushing out into the cold for fresh air every few minutes!

Big Bang For Your Buck

Sticky Ass Glue Presents: Big Bang For Your Buck

The economy seems like it could use a big ole dab of Sticky Ass Glue these days. You know, we’d compile all the broken pieces (Wall Street, banks, and most importantly consumers) coat each of them with some stubbornly strong glue, and voila, put all the pieces back together again, stronger and sturdier than ever before. Hey, we’re allowed to dream right?

Although we can’t repair the economy, we can help you watch your pennies, when it comes to fixing items around your house, as a little bit of Sticky Ass Glue goes a long way. In fact, one of our independent product testers, Creative Home Arts Club Member Frances Griffin wrote in her review of SAG:

“[I’ve] never had a glue with so much versatility. I’ve used it on 25 different projects and still have over ¾ of the bottle.”

In these lean economic times, remember that Sticky Ass Glue provides a big bang for your buck, making a whole lot of cents for thousands of home repairs.

Wild Winds; No Match For Our Stubbornly Strong Bonds

Sticky Ass Glue Presents: Wild Winds; No Match For Our Stubbornly Strong Bonds!

In our hometown of Pasadena, we’ve had some wild winds over the past few days which have caused quite a few exterior home items to loosen in our neighborhoods. Driving around we’ve noticed:

• Loose roof shingles

• Loose aluminum siding

• Wobbly mailboxes (whether they are loose on the post or coming off from the side of the home.)

• Bent or Broken fence posts

• Cracked Flower Pots

• Loose Address Numbers adorning the side of the house.

Luckily though, all of these items can be easily repaired with just a bit of Sticky Ass Glue. Plus, since Sticky Ass Glue is 100% waterproof, you won’t have to worry about the glue weakening in the rain, sleet or snow. So, before you worry about hiring a contractor to help you repair these items (and before you throw away broken items) give Sticky Ass Glue a shot. We’re stubbornly strong (even against the Santa Ana Winds!)

Sticky Ass Glue Presents: Halloween Fever

Ok, ok, so Halloween is still a month away. But stores started putting up Halloween displays in August, so we make no apologies for putting up our “display” here just a month ahead of time.

First, we encourage you to think of the safety of the little ones who will be coming to your door begging for a treat (wearing costumes they’re not used to, naturally). Do you have any loose bricks, tile, slate, or even concrete leading to your door? Give the little ones a fighting chance to stay on their toes, by repairing loose steps or walkways. Sticky Ass Glue and Sticky Jack Glue, will securely bond all outdoor materials within just 24 hours.

Also, keep in mind that SAG and SJG are great for crafting and creating your own Halloween decorations and crafts. SAG and SJG will work on plastic (for that skeleton you’re dying to put in your front yard), wood (for the faux tombstones accompanying the skeleton), Styrofoam (without eating away at it so the eyeballs stay put on your homemade Cookie Monster costume) and thick paper (or card stock) for your custom Halloween party invitations. However, if you’re working on projects with children, we’d prefer if you’d handle the gluing part of things.

Here’s to a happy and safe Halloween,

The Glue Crew

Our Swifter Setting Polyurethane

Sticky Ass Glue Presents: Sticky Jack Glue…Our Swifter Setting Polyurethane

You asked for it, and we answered. We’re thrilled to let you know that our second product, Sticky Jack Glue is about to be offered in retail stores across the country. What’s the difference between Sticky Ass Glue and Sticky Jack Glue?

Sticky Jack Glue boasts a faster set time. We were able to tweak our formula just a bit, so the set time (clamping time) has been reduced to less than an hour! (Sometimes, as virtuous as patience is, we know you just need to hustle!) That’s why we created SJG; to help all you DIY’ers who need to get a project done ASAP, such as:

• Repairing your spouse’s favorite coffee mug (that you broke the handle off while trying to yank it from the dishwasher).
• Fixing your little one’s toy truck (which you accidentally stepped on while half asleep trying to stumble your way to the coffeemaker at the crack of dawn).
• Repairing that broken shower tile (that just had to break the day you have house guests coming to visit).
• Fixing unsightly broken fence poles (before your in laws get there for dinner).

Do I Need To Use Water With Glue?

Sticky Ass Glue Presents: Do I Need To Use Water With Glue?

A lot of people think that any time you use a polyurethane glue; you need to use water to make the glue work. This isn’t the case with Sticky Ass Glue! In fact, using water is completely optional, except for projects involving plastics or metal, as these non-porous materials carry very little moisture, and SAG requires a bit of moisture to fully cure. For all other projects, moisture from the air, or contained within the materials themselves, will provide the moisture that SAG needs to cure. So, put down the watering can, and the hose. You just don’t need any H2O to get the job done!

Got a specific question about when to use water on a project?

Email us at glue@stickyassglue.com and we’ll get right back to you with our advice.

When Is a Polyurethane Your Best Bet?

Sticky Ass Glue Presents: When Is a Polyurethane Your Best Bet?

Further to our super technical first Sticky Ass Glue blog, we realized that although our description of S.A.G was mind blowingly detailed, y’all might benefit from knowing just when a polyurethane glue is the best adhesive for your needs.

So here’s the skinny:

For projects that must be able to sustain a great deal of stress, polyurethane (S.A.G) is your best bet. While a super glue may be a great fix for a small repair (such as a quick repair on a porcelain figurine, a favorite broken tea cup, or for repairing loose weather stripping on your car); a polyurethane will be your best bet for other projects, both large and small.

Consider that you’re bonding two large pieces of wood. Or you need to repair a broken tile in your shower. Or you’re gluing a leather bowling ball to a belt, as is necessary sometimes. A polyurethane, (considered a structural adhesive) will forge a longer, stronger bond than a super glue. But, it will take longer to set, so it’s best used for projects that will allow for a longer work time. All the same, a polyurethane will be a better choice than epoxy, if you’re not inclined to mix multiple substances. (Don’t get us wrong, epoxies are strong, and excellent in their own right, but they will require that you mix Part A with Part B to achieve your desired bond.)

S.A.G in particular, is also unique in that it will adhere to both porous and non porous substrates (think fiberglass to wood). Moreover, S.A.G is paintable, sandable, and stainable making it a versatile adhesive for your many projects.
Oh, and did we mention that S.A.G is 100% waterproof? That means that neither rain, nor sleet, nor that wintry mix that the Northeast is so famous for, will weaken a S.A.G bond.

Any questions on specific projects? Email us at glue@stickyassglue.com and we’ll get right back to you with our advice.

Starting With the Basics

Sticky Ass Glue Presents: Starting With the Basics
(What is a polyurethane glue anyway?)

Welcome to the first ever - in the history of humanity- Sticky Ass Glue blog entry. We’re glad you’re here. Our goal in creating this blog is to spread the good word of our little donkey buddy, by showing you how to make the most of DIY projects, woodworking, and crafting. We’ll be regularly updating this page with new tips, projects, and flat out cool news (as we see fit). A word to the wise though, if you’re not into creating, fixing, repairing, restoring, or basically contributing anything creative to the world; you’re not likely to enjoy this blog. But for the rest of you cool contributors, let’s start with the basics.

What is a polyurethane glue anyway?

Polyurethane glues are probably among the most versatile and strongest glues out there. As far as polyurethane glues go, Sticky Ass Glue is pretty sweet. S.A.G will bond porous substrates (read: materials) and non-porous substrates. To illustrate, S.A.G will bond fiberglass, wood, stone, pvc ,metal, ceramic, plastic, abs, brick, foams, styrofoam, cardboard, frp board, glass, tile, rubber, concrete, granite, travertine, dry wall and more.
S.A.G is also one of the strongest polyurethanes on the market, as evidenced by independent shear and peel tests. We know that seeing is believing, so check out the results on your own here: http://www.stickyassglue.com/pdfs/SAG_PeelTest.pdf and here: http://www.stickyassglue.com/pdfs/SAG_ShearTest.pdf .
Ok folks, since we’ve been told that blogs are supposed to be short; we’ll end our breakthrough blog now. But check back regularly as we dissect all that is wonderful and good about crafting, hobbies, woodworking, DIY projects, home repairs and naturally, glue.
Thanks for moseying on by.
Until next time,
The Glue Crew
