Key Features & Benefits
High Strength
Offers fast initial tack and builds up to a robust final bond in 24 hours, even on rigid or non-porous materials.
Non-Drip Gel Formula
Perfect for vertical or overhead applications. The gel consistency fills gaps and won’t run or drip, providing a neater, more controlled application.
Multi-Material Use
Bonds a wide variety of materials including:
- Wood
- Metal & steel
- Ceramics
- Stone
- Glass
- Polystyrene foam
- Plastics* (excluding PE and PP)
- Textiles & fabrics
UV Resistant & Transparent
Unlike many competitor glues, Loctite Extreme Gel dries clear and stays clear, resisting yellowing over time—even under UV exposure.
Flexible & Safe to Use
The glue remains flexible after drying, is resistant to water, shock, and temperature extremes, and is made with a non-hazardous formulation, so no gloves are required.
Sands & Paints Easily
Once cured, the glue can be sanded and painted over for a seamless finish.
How to Use
- Prepare the surfaces: Clean and ensure both surfaces are free from grease, dust, and loose material.
- Apply the glue: Use a thin layer of the gel on one of the surfaces. No need to over-apply.
- Join surfaces: Press both surfaces together and secure with tape or clamps if needed.
- Let it cure: Leave for 24 hours for maximum bond strength. Can be handled after initial set, but full strength develops over time.
Typical Applications
- Repairing furniture joints and fixtures
- DIY home improvements and modelling
- Fixing broken ceramic or glassware
- Craft projects with mixed materials
- Attaching trim or moulding without drips
