  2. Glue dots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glue_dots

    Low Tack Glue Dots: still removable, but create much stronger adhesion for heavier items, such as sticking CDs to magazines. High Shear Tack: semi-permanent glue dots with vertical hold ability that will create a strong bond between most surfaces. Super High Tack: permanent glue dots which will create a strong, permanent bond between most surfaces.

  3. Adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive

    The glue gun melts the solid adhesive, then allows the liquid to pass through its barrel onto the material, where it solidifies. Thermoplastic glue may have been invented around 1940 by Procter & Gamble as a solution to the problem that water-based adhesives, commonly used in packaging at that time, failed in humid climates, causing packages to ...

  5. Cyanoacrylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate

    Cyanoacrylate glue has a low shearing strength, which has led to its use as a temporary adhesive in cases where the piece needs to be sheared off later. Common examples include mounting a workpiece to a sacrificial glue block on a lathe, and tightening pins and bolts. It is also used in conjunction with another slower, but more resilient ...

  6. Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_adhesive

    Adhesives may be broadly divided in two classes: structural and pressure-sensitive. To form a permanent bond, structural adhesives harden via processes such as evaporation of solvent (for example, white glue), reaction with UV radiation (as in dental adhesives), chemical reaction (such as two part epoxy), or cooling (as in hot melt).

  7. Adhesive bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_bonding

    The disadvantage of the lack of instantaneous bonding exhibited by many adhesives can be overcome by using a suitable fast-curing adhesive or a combination of a standard adhesive with a second, fast-curing adhesive (e.g. double-sided adhesive tape) or with another joining method, such as spot welding, rivets, screws, or clinching / press ...

  8. Glue stick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glue_stick

    Most glue sticks are designed to glue paper and card stock together and are not as strong as some liquid-based variants. They can be used for craft and design, office use, and at school. There are several varieties: permanent,washable, acid-free,non-toxic, solvent-free, and dyed (e.g. to see where the glue is being applied).

  9. Hook-and-loop fastener - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook-and-loop_fastener

    Invented in the mid-20th century, they are widely used in clothing, accessories, and various industrial and consumer applications. The fastener consists of two complementary components: one with tiny hooks and the other with soft loops. When pressed together, the hooks catch the loops, creating a secure but temporary bond.
