In a perfect world, all glue would dry clear. And that’s what we tell our readers, who have inquired about the slight amber hue that Sticky Ass Glue has once it has dried. Unfortunately, the nature of polyurethane glues is to turn a slight shade of yellowish brown once it dries.
This is caused by the chemical composition of polyurethane, and to date the technology hasn’t been invented where we can maintain the integrity of the glue (read: the strength) and produce a clear dry. The polyurethanes that are available currently with a clear dry, will actually turn yellow over time, or after exposure to UV light (as, in from the sun). So to reduce the appearance of dried SAG, remember first and foremost that a little bit goes a long way.
Secondly, remember that you can sand any excess glue right off. Or, you can paint right over SAG, if there’s just a tiny bit showing. Thirdly, remember that our glue expands less than other polyurethanes on the market, so the amount of excess glue showing will be minimal compared with other glues.
Finally, keep in mind that for smaller projects, there’s our incredible Sticky Jack Super Glue, which has been triple distilled, and will dry clear. Not to mention, Sticky Jack Super Glue boasts our signature stubbornly strong bonding qualities!
Hope that “clears” up any questions. If not, feel free to send us an email at glue@stickyassglue.com
