What
are Glue Dots®?
Glue Dots®
are pressure-sensitive adhesives that are
sometimes referred to as fugitive glue or
booger glue and consist of a spot of glue
about the size of a dime (1/2” diameter).
To apply the Glue
Dots®, customers can:
- Peel the dots from
the release liner by hand.
- Touch the item to be
glued to the Glue Dot®, removing it
from the silicone paper release liner.
- Touch the Glue Dot®
to the substrate using adhesive application
equipment.
Faster and safer than
hot melt glues and cleaner than liquid adhesives,
Glue Dots® bond instantly and, unlike
double-sided tapes, do not leave a sticky
residue.

Standard Glue Dots are 1/2" in diameter
