A simple tool at first look, adhesives come in a myriad of forms for a myriad of jobs.
Some are quite specialized such as the adhesive for PVC pipe called tetrahydrofuran, which is actually a solvent that glues two sections of PVC pipe together.
The two types of glue I use most often are a glue gun and wood glue.
A glue gun is great for florist work and projects that don’t require endurance or strength, like attaching an ornament to a pick for an outdoor seasonal planter.
Wood glue like Gorilla or LePage’s glue, meant for wood, create a long-lasting secure bond when used as directed.
Editor’s tips: Use the right glue for the job and read the directions before use.
