Optically Clear Wicking Instant-Bond Adhesives
To invisibly bond transparent plastics, these adhesives won’t turn cloudy. Also known as super glue, they have a thin consistency that allows them to flow into small gaps. Use an accelerator (sold separately) to shorten the time it takes the adhesive to reach full strength.

Optically Clear Epoxy Structural Adhesives
For invisible bond lines, these adhesives dry clear. Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives. Choose an epoxy that hardens quickly for fast repairs, or one that hardens slowly to allow more time for positioning.
The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Use cartridges with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives.
DP100 Plus, DP105, and epoxy in 4.5-oz. tubes bond dissimilar materials.
0151 and E-30CL are suitable for fiber-optic applications.
