Our review
Gorilla Glue Clear is a fast-setting, transparent adhesive engineered for crafters and hobbyists who need a strong bond without the messy foam or dark residue of traditional Gorilla Glue. Formulated to dry clear, it is ideal for projects where appearance matters just as much as strength, such as scrapbooking, mixed media art, model building, and home décor crafts. Its no-run, no-drip formula makes it easy to control, even on vertical or detailed surfaces.
Unlike water-activated polyurethane glues, this version uses a modified adhesive base that bonds a wide variety of craft materials including wood, paper, fabric, ceramic, foam, glass, and some plastics. It sets quickly to allow repositioning of delicate elements, then cures to a strong, flexible bond that resists yellowing over time, keeping decorative pieces looking clean and professional long after completion.
Packaged in a precision-tip bottle, Gorilla Glue Clear gives crafters more control over application, reducing waste and mess. Whether assembling a shadow box, repairing a ceramic figurine, or securing embellishments to a canvas, this glue offers reliable performance for both quick fixes and detailed long-term projects, making it a versatile staple for any craft table.

Perfect for my scrapbooking projects
I've tried so many glues that leave residue or yellow over time, but this one dries completely invisible. It's now my go-to for paper crafts and embellishments.

Great bond, small nozzle issue
Bonded my ceramic figurine repair beautifully and you can't even see the glue line. Only complaint is the tip dried out once when I forgot to cap it tightly.

No mess, strong hold
Used it for a mixed media canvas with fabric and wood pieces. It held everything securely without oozing or dripping like other glues I've used.

Solid craft glue
Not for heavy structural work, but for small decorative projects it's fantastic. Dries fast and stays clear, exactly as advertised.
