Adhesives By Purpose

Wood

PVA
Animal
Resin
Polyurethane
Acrylic

see Wood glues

Metal

Epoxy
Polyurethane
Contact

Plastics - PVC, ABS

Solvent glues
Solvents
Household gloss paint will glue pvc

Plastics - hard

Epoxy
Polyurethane
...

Plastics - polyethylene, nylon

no glue can stick these directly
flamed polythene and nylon can be glued
melting the surfaces together also works, if both materials being joined are the same substance.

Fabric

Latex, eg Copydex

Paper & Card

PVA
Gum
Glue sticks (eg Pritt-stick) (PVA or PVP)
Spray-type photo fixing etc
Wallpaper paste
Starch

Oil lines

Red hermetite

Plaster

to consolidate & stabilise loose plaster:

dilute PVA
limewash

Adhesives 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.
Car accessory shops sell tougher epoxies than Araldite.
Available as liquid resin tubes, putty sticks, or in standard building cartridges with automatic mixing nozzles.
The quick setting types are much weaker
Heating the mix (in tinfoil on a low ring) until runny makes it set very much faster. Don't overheat it.
vulnerable to uv

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
Most common hot melt glue stick chemistry is amorphous polypropylene plus tackifiers and fillers. Several other chemistries also exist.
Polyethylene requires temperatures above those of standard retail glue guns to work, if you put polythene in an ordinary glue gun it will just soften enough to block it.
Low melting point glues and guns are also available. Often used by kids due to nearly instant setting.

Pdf hot melt glue datasheets

PVA

PVA has a wide range of uses in building and DIY.

There are White and yellow types of PVA
A good general purpose wood glue
Reduces permeability of cement mortar & increases adhesion
Use as a plaster size
softens when wet
Exterior grade PVAs available, but are not waterproof
Not suitable for woodwork where failure could cause injury, eg chairs, beds ets.

Acrylic mastic type

(e.g. "solvent-free Gripfill/No-more-nails/etc")

Caulk

Caulk is a flexible acrylic formula

Paint sticks to caulk

Solvent based building adhesives

(Gripfill etc)

? type

"Sticks like SH!T" etc

Polyurethane

Polyester resin

tough
sticks a wide range of materials
used in fibreglass work
used to fill damaged exterior woodwork, eg sash windows
available in clear or colours
car body filler is polyester resin plus fillers

Silicone

Silicone Sealant is a satisfactory glue in shear, but has little strength in tension.
Silicone is used to glue glass aquaria together, but this is a tougher formula than builders' silicone sealant.
Building silicones are RTV, room temperature vulcanised.
There are several types of silicone
For more information see Silicone Sealant

Solvent cements

Solvent based cements are plastics dissolved in a solvent. These cements, and solvents alone, are used to glue soluble plastics.

perspex in acetone glue is used to glue acrylic, aka perspex.
Solvent weld is used to glue PVC pipe and trunking

Tile adhesives

Cement based most popular

See BAL Adhesives guide for information on different types

Wallpaper Paste

how long will it store once mixed?

Starch

Glue for wallpaper, card & paper.
To make starch glue, boil some starch (eg flour, oats, etc) until it changes from white to semi-clear. Add a little alum to prevent mould if you're not using it immediately.
To make a starch gluestick, parboil a potato. Suitable for gluing paper, just wipe with the potato and press together. Will not store.

Preparation

In the great majority of cases, to obtain a good bond surfaces should be prepared so they are:

clean
dry
loose or flaky material removed
degreased

Moulding tools

Sometimes adhesives need to be moulded.

Fugee & Fugenboy

PTFE

Polythene

Fillers

Fillers are used in gapfilling adhesives to reduce cost. They do affect the adhesive properties to some extent.

Sand can be mixed into resin fillers to reduce cost, but the resulting mix is not sandable, so should only be used to fill below the final surface level.

Adding fillers does reduce final strength in most cases. For many filling tasks this is not a problem, but fillers should not be added to resin based fillers for blockwork, as this generally results in failure.
