Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this glue suitable for all types of eyeglass frames?
Yes, our glasses repair glue is formulated to create strong bonds on most common frame materials including various metals, acetates, plastics, and nylon-based composites like TR-90. We recommend testing on a small, inconspicuous area for unfamiliar materials.
How should frames be prepared before applying the glue?
For an optimal bond, surfaces must be clean, dry, and oil-free. Use isopropyl alcohol to degrease the broken parts. Ensure a close fit between the pieces, as the glue fills minimal gaps.
What is the typical shelf life, and how should the glue be stored?
The product has a 24-month shelf life in unopened packaging. To maximize longevity, store in a cool, dry place (ideally between 8-21°C / 46-70°F) with the cap tightly sealed.
Can this product be shipped internationally?
Absolutely. We are experienced exporters and comply with all international regulations for shipping cyanoacrylate adhesives. We provide all necessary MSDS and commercial documentation.
Do you offer private label or custom packaging options?
Yes, for qualifying B2B orders, we offer private labeling and custom packaging solutions. This allows you to brand the glasses repair glue as your own, enhancing your service kit or product line.
What safety precautions are necessary during use?
Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Do not use on eyewear while it is being worn. Keep out of reach of children.
