By Type
cyanoacrylate (superglue)
2-part epoxy ("Araldite" etc)
- Tough
- chemical resistant.
- Some types are heat resistant, some not. The ones that aren't may claim they are on the basis that they survive heat, even if they do lose all strength when hot.
- Grey liquid steel types from car accessory shops are much tougher than Araldite etc.
- Available as liquid resin tubes, putty sticks, or in standard building cartridges with automatic mixing nozzles.
hot-melt glue
- Almost instant setting
- Handy for creating structures where glue needs to set at each stage before the next can be glued
- not the strongest most durable glue
PVA liquid
PVA has a wide range of uses in building and DIY.
Acrylic mastic type (e.g. "solvent-free Gripfill/No-more-nails/etc")
Caulk
Caulk is a flexible acrylic formula
Solvent based building adhesives (Gripfill etc)
? type ("Sticks like SH!T" etc)
Polyurethane
Solvent cements
Tile adhesives
Wallpaper Paste
how long will it store once mixed?
Starch
- Basic wallpaper and card/paper glue.
- To make starch glue, boil some starch (eg flour, oats, etc). Add a little alum to prevent mould if you're not using it immediately.
