Glues of all types and styles

Glue

Face it, things break. We need ways to fix them. We also need ways in which to attach one object onto another that we didn’t break. For these two reasons and many more, the world is lucky to have many forms of glue to help them.

Our first sampling of glue probably came during our child hood. Remember that bottle of glue that you used to paste paper together? You might have used Elmers glue. You might even remember its smell. Hopefully, you don’t remember its taste. Yet, there generally was one child in the classroom who was known for eating it.

That glue was fun to use. Plus, being children most of us didn’t care about the smell or even getting it onto our fingers or clothes. It was pretty easy to remove, too. That made most of our parents happy.

The next type of glue you might have used might have been those little glue tubes of Super Glue or other such brand. These types of glue are supposed to hold most anything together instantly. All you need to do is place a little onto an object, place the other object or piece onto it and hold for several seconds. Yet, beware if you get any of this onto your fingers they may also glue together as well. This can be painful and embarrassing.

There are many types of glues on the market today. It can sometimes be overwhelming when it comes time to decide what to buy that will work for your specific purpose. Here is a general guide they may help.

CERAMIC TO CERAMIC (say for instance you broke a plate). You might want to try one of these types of glues:

Krazy Glue

Super Glue

Zap (can be found at most hobby stores)

A glue that is used for filling in gaps or cracks (Zap A Gap)

FABRIC TO FABRIC (You have a tear in your car seat for instance)

3M77 (found at art stores or hardware stores)

Carpenter’s Glue

Soba Glue (found at most craft stores)

Glass to Glass (You broke your favorite glass figurine)

Household Goop (found at most hardware stores)

Krazy Glue

Super Glue

LEATHER TO LEATHER (You broke the strap to your favorite purse)

Barges Glue (found at most shoe repair stores or possibly in some department stores that sells shoe supplies)

METAL TO METAL (when doing automobile repairs)

Both of these glues can be found at most auto part stores

JB Weld

Fast Steel Epoxy Putty

PLASTIC TO PLASTIC (when doing plumbing work)

PVC Adhesive (found in hardware stores or plumbing stores)

RUBBER TO RUBBER

3M 80 (This is a spray glue which makes it easier to apply).

VINYL TO VINYL

3-M Fastbond

Sobo

WOOD TO WOOD

Carpenter’s glue

If the wood is going to be used outside, you may want to use an outdoor type carpenter’s glue

Another type of glue many people like to keep in their home is Gorilla Glue. It can be used for a number of purposes and is known to be a tough glue that will perform when other glues fail.

Gorilla Glue comes in many different varieties that can be used for a number of different purposes such as:

The original Gorilla Glue

The Gorilla Glue Fast Glue (which glues 8 times faster than the original formula and glues a soft shade of white in color).

Gorilla Glue Pen (comes equipped with a pen like applicater)

Gorilla Super Glue (impact resistant glue)

Gorilla Wood Glue (glues the color of wood)

When you begin applying glue to an object you may want to remember these tips and tricks.

Remember a little glue can go a long way. If you do go overboard on it, allow the glue to dry and try to chip it away from the object carefully after it dries. If you try to wipe it away before it dries, you may just end up with a sticky mess.

Try to keep the glue off of your fingers. It will make your project messy and you could actually end up gluing your fingers together. Some professionals advises you to try putting sawdust on your hands before using glue.

If you are worrying about glue overflow, you could try using masking tape along the edge of the object you are gluing. Once it is dried, you can just carefully remove the tape and any dry glue that may have fallen onto it.

When applying glue, sometimes you may want to use a brace to keep the two objects together longer.

The next time something breaks, try gluing it back together before you toss it. You might even be able to save it.
