Liquid Fusion Glue

Duncan Enterprises, the manufacturers of Aleene’s® Tacky Glue, developed a urethane glue that is stronger than traditional wood glues, but does not create a foam when curing like popular polyurethane glues.

Liquid Fusion clear urethane glue bonds to most materials quickly, and is solid after two hours. For best results, the manufacturer suggests allowing the glue to dry overnight.

I was impressed with the design of the bottle. The tapered tip allows you to place a thin, even bead of glue exactly where you want it. There is no need to fuss with toothpicks or other applicators; the tip allows you to apply the glue with precision. The design of the bottle draws any unused glue out of the tip, preventing the glue from drying and clogging the tip of the bottle.

When assembling a clock, the glue performed exactly as I expected. It is thick enough to stay where I want it, and the glue does not foam out of the joints. It does not create a slippery surface, which would make it tricky to position the parts. It has a light tack to start, which eliminates the need for clamps during assembly. I could safely handle the clock after two hours, and the glue dries clear.

Liquid Fusion clear urethane glue is available at Michael’s Arts and Crafts stores for $4.99 for a 2oz bottle. Visit www.Michaels.com for your closest location.

I haven't seen this glue before but I would have no trouble trying it. I'll look for it and give it a try. David

I have used this for some time now. I came upon it at Hobby Lobby and tried it because I needed the foaming issue of Gorilla glue to go away. I was gluing some fretwork pieces together and the foaming messed up the finished product. I have had no complaints with it on the projects on which I have used it to date. As all glues if you are going to stain the piece you must wipe off any excess quickly.... I couldn't locate it in Michaels but Hobby Lobby had it here in Texas

I finally found Fusion Locally at jo-anne fabrics. I kept asking them to get it in and they finally did. I sure am glad. I really like it.

I am a glue convert. I found Liquid Fusion in Michaels, I thought it was a little expensive but I purchased it anyway and am I glad I did. A while back I posted some pictures of light boxes my wife & I designed. I cut one and we decided that they looked really nice so the boss asked me to cut 20 more. We put tape on the edges and ran a bead of Fusion down the length of the joint and the next day they were perfect. The thing that I like about this glue is there is no mess, you can pretty much control the size of the bead by the feel of the bottle. As a bonus, almost every Sunday there is a 40% off coupon for Michaels that I usually clip and use when I'm almost out of glue.
