Glue Dots® from Gluefast, the largest stocking distributor on the East Coast, are pressure sensitive adhesives, which make them faster and safer than hot melt glues. A Glue Dot®, often referred to as fugitive adhesive or booger glue, is much safer than other adhesives, including industrial adhesives, without the messy side effects or residue as some glues or double-sided tapes leave behind. Read on to discover why Glue Dots® are the best choice adhesive for gift baskets, crafts, and greeting cards.

Find the Right Strength and Thickness You Need

Choose different tack strengths and thicknesses – known as profile – to best suit your project.

Tack Levels

Standard Glue Dots® tack (strength) levels:

• Low
• Medium
• High
• Super High

Super High Tack creates a permanent bond. Low or Medium Tacks are considered removable.

Low Tack contains some oil. Test absorbent surfaces for bleeding. Glue Dots are produced using a variety of synthetic, rubber-based adhesives. To give these adhesives their removable capabilities, varying degrees of oils are used. In most cases these oils will not discolor surfaces. However, the effects of the oils vary based on the absorption properties of the substrate. As the strength level increases, the concentration of oils decreases. We recommend thoroughly testing the adhesive on given substrates where discoloration is a concern. To speed up testing times, we suggest applying dots to the substrates and heating them up to 150 degrees for three days at room temperature after six months.

Profiles

Glue Dots® are available in three profiles (thicknesses).

Low profile Glue Dots® are thin and used for bonding level items. Medium and High profiles are suited for irregularly shaped objects.

Our Recommendation for Tack Strength and Profile for Gift Baskets, Greeting Cards, and Crafts:
Tack strength: Medium or high	Profile: Low for flat items, medium for other shapes
