You provided a written description of your product and a sample. Your sample is being returned empty due to a faulty lid and spillage during shipping. The sample labeled Sure Lox Puzzle Glue consists of 120 ml of thin white liquid glue. The glue is retailed packaged in a small printed plastic bottle with a twist-off lid that features a spatula. The glue is intended for use in gluing, protecting and preserving finished jigsaw puzzles. The finished puzzle is placed image side up on a flat surface covered with old newspapers. Using the spatula, the glue is applied to the entire surface and left to dry for 1-2 hours with proper ventilation to allow safe evaporation of the solvent. For a firmer puzzle, the glue may then be applied to the reverse side.
