But which type of glue is right for your project? Read this simple guide on how to choose the best adhesive spray glue.
Spray glue is best used for repairs, craft, and floral projects. It is a highly versatile product that can be applied to a variety of materials, including:
However, not all spray glues are for the same purposes and you should consult the instructions on the can label before use.
There are many different types of spray glue for different types of products. One type of glue may not be suited for every type of project that you want to undertake. General purpose glues should be used for more arts and crafts style projects. Whereas high grade professional glue sprays should be used for heavy duty jobs because of their superior bonding strength.

There are a few things to consider before you start using your spray adhesive glue. These sprays are made to be quick and easy to use but are also fast drying. So if you have never used them before you should consider the below questions before you begin your project.
What surface am I going to spray on?
Before you start using your spray adhesive glue, you need to clean the surface that you wish to spray. Before use, your surface should be cleared of any oil, wax, paint, or dirt.
You should also consider how porous your materials are and if your pieces will glue together with ease, or if they will require a brace to hold them together whilst the glue dries. Sponges, wood, rubber, and some rocks are usually very porous materials and can be glued to surfaces without the need of a brace. However, marble, glass, and some plastics are not porous and most likely will require a brace to hold the objects in place whilst the glue sets.
What is the drying speed of my glue?
Different spray adhesives are set to dry at different speeds. To know the exact drying speed of your glue you should consult the product instructions on the can label.
Most spray glues will become tacky 30 seconds after application. During the first minute, it is usually safe to adjust your pieces slightly before they set into place. After this timeframe, if you attempt to move pieces you may risk damaging your materials. To achieve maximum bond strength, leave your glued pieces to dry undisturbed overnight before continued use.
How strong is the glue?
There are different types of adhesive glues on the market that provide different levels of strength for different projects. General purpose glues, such as Helmar Spray Glue, should be used for more arts and crafts style projects. Whereas high grade professional glue sprays, like Design Master Spray Glue, should be used for more heavy-duty jobs because of their superior bonding strength.
Before you start your project, you should consider, how heavy or load-bearing is the item you are gluing and how often it will be used. If it is a display object that will not be disturbed or take on any weight after being set, then a general-purpose glue should be used for your project. If your project is more mechanical and will required repeated use or pressure to be placed on it after it is set, then a high-grade professional glue spray should be used.
With all spray glues, you should follow the manufacturer’s instructions as each style of glue may require different application methods.
