3M Super 77 Multi-Surface Spray Adhesive, 14.1 oz (77-NAT)
A good general spray glue for light materials; pick 3M 90 for heat or heavier bonds.
The short version
- Crafters mounting paper, photos, fabric or foam board
- DIYers attaching foam, felt or fabric to wood or metal
- Anyone who wants one general spray glue on the shelf
- You are fixing a car headliner or anything that sits in strong heat
- You need to bond heavy items or structural parts
- You have no space to mask off overspray
What owners like
- Fast grab and an even, thin coat
- Works across a wide mix of light materials
- Easy to find and long trusted for crafts and mounting
Common complaints
- Car headliners can sag again, especially in hot climates
- Overspray lands on nearby surfaces unless they are masked
- Not strong enough for high heat bonds, where 3M 90 or contact cement is preferred
Based on 3M's Super 77 technical data sheet, the Amazon listing, the FindTape product page for the 77-NAT can, and an IH8MUD forum thread on headliner repairs..

What it does
A clear drying, low VOC aerosol spray glue from 3M for bonding light materials like paper, fabric, foam, foil and cardboard.
- Mist spray pattern that coats evenly without soaking through thin materials
- Bonds foil, foam, paper, cardboard, fabric, insulation and leather to metal, wood and hardboard
- Short repositioning window before the bond sets
- Low VOC formula sold in California
- Dries clear for visible craft and mounting work
A dependable all round spray glue for crafts, mounting, light upholstery and foam work, with a mist spray that goes on thin and a short window to reposition. The trade-off is heat: owners on vehicle forums report Super 77 letting go on car headliners, and 3M's own data shows bonds failing around 150°F, so hot or load bearing jobs call for 3M's Hi-Strength 90 or a dedicated headliner adhesive.

Questions
Is 3M Super 77 permanent?
Yes, it forms a permanent bond, though the product listing gives a 2 to 3 minute window to reposition right after joining the parts.

It is often used for them, but forum owners report sagging in hot weather. 3M's headliner adhesive or Hi-Strength 90 is the safer choice.
How long does Super 77 take to dry?
It turns tacky in about 15 to 60 seconds and can be bonded anywhere from 15 seconds to 15 minutes after spraying.

Super 77 is a general purpose glue for light materials. Forum owners who switched report that Hi-Strength 90 holds up better in high heat.
