Clogged Cap? Here’s How To Clean It!

With polyurethane glues like Sticky Ass Glue and Sticky Jack Glue, unfortunately if the bottles aren’t closed tightly (read: all air removed) after use, the applicator/ or nozzle can become jammed as residual glue cures inside. But that’s no reason to throw out the glue. The remaining glue is perfectly fine to use. But, you will need to clean the cap. Luckily it’s easy as 1-2-3. Here’s how:

1. Twist open the nozzle/applicator. Then pop off the applicator by pulling it from the cap. Use a toothpick, paperclip or tiny nail to pop the hardened glue right out.

2. Unscrew the big cap. (In some instances you may need pliers, if the cap is on really tight). Check the top layer of the glue in the bottle. If it has hardened simply use a screwdriver to pull out the top layer of cured glue. You’ll find the remaining glue is just fine!

3. Get back to work, gluing away!

If you have any difficulties in cleaning the nozzle or underneath the cap, please don’t hesitate to shoot us an email at glue@stickyassglue.com and we’ll get right back to you!
