- Grey liquid steel types from car accessory shops are much tougher than Araldite etc.
hot-melt glue
- Almost instant setting
- thus 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
Acrylic mastic type (e.g. "solvent-free Gripfill/No-more-nails/etc")
Solvent based building adhesives (Gripfill etc)
? type ("Sticks like SH!T" etc)
