Glass glue is a commonly used adhesive, which is used in the decoration of kitchens, bathrooms, and glass doors and windows.
Because these places are humid, glass glue is very prone to mold and blackening, which not only affects the appearance, but also breeds bacteria, endangering the health of family members. How to deal with the problem of yellowing and mold of glass glue without affecting its effect has become the top priority.
So, what should we do if the glass glue gets moldy and black? Next, I will share with you how to solve this problem.
01 Cleaning and wiping
As we all know, 84 disinfectant has a certain bleaching effect. We can mix water and 84 disinfectant in a ratio of about 3:1, then use a wet wipe to dip a small amount of the mixed water for wiping. If the stains are stubborn, we can also use a steel wool ball and a brush to improve the cleaning effect.
In addition, white vinegar has a good bactericidal effect and is not irritating to mucous membranes, skin and respiratory tract. So if the area of mold is small, we can use white vinegar and a toothbrush for cleaning.
02 Replacing glass glue
If the mold on the glass glue is relatively serious, we need to remove the original glass glue and then reprocess it. The process is not as difficult as imagined.
Simply put, there are the following steps:
Prepare four tools: a knife, glass glue, a glue gun, and masking tape.
Use the knife to scrape off the previous glass glue.
Stick masking tape on the edge to prevent the glass glue from spilling to other places.
Use the glue gun to apply a circle of glue along the joint, and smooth the surface with a scraper.
Tear off the masking tape and wait for 12 hours until the glass glue is completely dry.
