Everyone has glues that they prefer, and I’m no exception. Over the years I’ve learned about and incorporated many glues into my arsenal of adhesive solutions, and I’m excited to share them with you. Just please take into account that my knowledge of these glues and their functional properties is just that—functional. They are the conclusions of an experimental generalist. I am not a chemist, nor a physicist, nor a material scientist. And there are exceptions to every single rule I outline below. You may meet someone who tells you there’s a better solution to every use case I outline. Go ahead and take their advice seriously and try it out for yourself. You may justifiably disagree with some of the glues for which I have great affection. That’s fine! It simply betrays, in the best way, the limitless land of possibilities when it comes to the developed ingenuity of humans to modify their world.
