Building Ambition

With the arrival of nice weather, the Glue Crew always gets a bit ambitious. Well, actually it seems more like our wives and kids get ambitious for us. Whether it’s deciding to finally repair the split 2’ x 4’ in the corner of the deck, or caving in and finally making good on the promise to build the kids a skateboard ramp; the nice weather prevents us from procrastinating any longer.

But, we’re also not content to tackle wooden projects with just a few lousy nails. Nails rust, and tend to split the wood around them (and splinters are so NOT fun!) So we always make sure to fortify any bond with Sticky Ass Glue. SAG can strengthen any bond between two pieces of wood, and can even be used to fill in splits in wood around nail or screws.

So, if you find yourself feeling like a go-getter, who is ready to tackle some outdoor wooden repairs (or just can’t get away with putting them off any longer) make sure that you pick up a tube of SAG at your local hardware store first.

Besides, you’ll be amazed at how many other projects you’ll find it useful for.

Landscaping Lessons!

There’s no time like the present to be getting your yard in order! We write to remind you while you’re plucking weeds, or planting seeds, should you come across cracked stone, brick or tile; you needn’t replace the broken pieces. Sticky Ass Glue or Sticky Jack Glue will make them good as new again, for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

The same goes for those Terra Cotta planters (which seem to break with astonishing regularity.) A dab of SAG of SJG (which are both waterproof) will fix those up in a jiffy. Moreover, any cracks in mosaic tile pots or fountains can be easily bonded within just hours.

So, before you head to the lawn or garden store for replacement landscaping accents, remember that one 4 oz bottle of SAG or SJG can save you a bundle, and help your lawn, patio, porch or deck look its best this summer.

For any questions on using SAG for landscaping repairs, drop us a line at glue@stickyassglue.com

It’s Official… Summer is Here!... Unofficially

With Memorial Day behind us, and baseball season in full swing; there’s no doubt that summer has arrived (except for on the calendar, of course). And there’s no doubt that a bit of sunshine, a trip to the ball park, the lake or the beach might be just what we all need to kick the economic doldrums of the last several months. Until of course you go to retrieve the kids’ buckets, pails, and shovels and find some of them broken.

But wait! Before you go spending money on new plastic toys, or even Styrofoam coolers, remember that a dab of Sticky Ass Glue will have these summer items back to perfect in no time. (While Sticky Jack Super Glue will also work on smaller cracks, it’s not waterproof, so stick with the original, SAG or Sticky Jack Glue for any items that may get wet.)

Wishing you endless days of fun in the sun,

Shake, Rattle and Roll

Here in Southern California, we’re riddled with (for the most part pesky, but occasionally, scary) earthquakes. Last week alone we’ve had two, with multiple aftershocks. While none of them have caused much damage lately, it made us all realize that in our earth quake emergency kit, it would be useful to keep a bottle of Sticky Ass Glue.

That way, should frames be knocked loose from the walls, or our favorite bowling trophy takes a fall off the wall shelf, we’ll know exactly where to find the perfect fix it tool. And we won’t even have to go out to the garage.
So, keep it in mind. Of course, you’ll probably find yourself grabbing for the earthquake kit a lot more often than you’ll feel a quake, as you’ll soon realize just how many items in your home could use a quick fix!

Styrofoam Secrets!

Have you ever used glue on Styrofoam only to find that it cavitates (eats away) the foam? If not, consider yourself lucky, as most glues will tend to do this. However, Sticky Ass Glue and Sticky Jack Glue aren’t most glues!

In fact, SAG and SJG work amazingly well on Styrofoam, (read: no eating away here!) making it a great addition to any crafter’s tool kit. (The fact that both are sandable and paintable doesn’t hurt either!) However, there’s another great use for SAG and SJG….

You know those model airplanes you see people flying around at the park? Well, most of them are made at least partly of Styrofoam. But, if you use the wrong glue, your model B-52, might just be a bust. So, the next time you buy your niece or nephew a model airplane for their birthday; make sure (in addition to batteries, of course) you throw in a bottle of Sticky Ass Glue. They’ll get a kick out of the name, and will be equipped to make that plane soar in no time.
