Stick to the Basics with Adhesives

With dl tbe adbesives on tbe market, consumers can have a tougb time selecting the proper one for a particular job. And ssslsrimss confrrsed customers will choose to buy no product rather than risk buying the wrong product- A knowtedgeable sales staff can help buyers make the right cboie.

Epoxy Glues: Desigped mostly for mD-Irorcus surfrces, but can bc used on wood. Uses include pipes, radiabrs, rnetal, chin4 marble, ceramic tile, masonry and glass. Among the strongest adhesives available, tnre epoxies ome in two prts (a resin and a catalyst) that are mixed together before usc. Oncc combinc4 they set permanently in a specificd length of timc to withstaod vibration, sbock and nearly all omnon solveots.

Urethrne Adheslvec: The one-part adbesives bond most materials, offering the strength of an epoxy without mixing. They rcquire clamping and Z boun to fully curp. Uscs include mending fumiau€, tool handles and children's toys.

Used on many surfaces, tbough joints rnay come apst under beavy loads. Most effective on porous or semi-porous surfaces, it bonds immediately wibout clamping and resists water, fuogi aad extreme tcmperahnes, tbougb instatrt adbssbn makes it difficult to use. It bonds laminates to count€.rtops or cabinets and plastic foam, bardboad or metal to wood.

Cleer Cement Works best on porous materials. It is clear, colorless, water resistant and suitable for flcxible and rigkljoints.

VYhlte Glue: Used to bond fabric, paper, cardboar,4 cortq leather and interior woodworking jobs not requiring a waterproof joinL Tbe affordable, milky-white glues dry clear, sct quickly and can withstand moderate strain.

Woodworkers' Glue: For jobs needing ease of sanding and better water and heat resistarce. It grabs faster tban wbile glue.

In$rnt$etthg Glues: Ideal fq nost noo-porous (ccramic, some plastics, rubber, metal, synthetics, potyethylene, but not glass) and some porous materials (wood, leatber, paper, but not foam). A small anrount of the gel creates 8 stong instant bond, so it should be bandled carefully.

Plestlc Resln Glue: Powdered urea formaldebyde glue is mixed witb waGr to make highly water r€sistrnt bonds that are non-toxic and impenrious to most materials.

Weterprof Glue: For wood joints, the two-pdt (liquid resin & powdered catalyst) adbesive cures undcr prcssure in l0 bours.

Caseln Glue: Feaures good filling qualities for beavy wood gluing. Powdered casein mires with water, is bss expensive than plastic resin and waterlnoof glue, and sets in tbrec hours.

Acryllc Adheslves: Bond most surfaces including oily or porous surfaces. The waterproof, non-flemmable, two-component adhesives don't need mixing, hold well under stress and bond in less than a minute, permanently in 45 minutes.

Heevy-Duty Adhestves: For flat interior or cxterior surfaces. Tbe solid adhesives peruranen0y attacb rigid plastics, ceranic, glass, metal and finisbed woods. The industrial stsength bond resists temperaurre.s, wat€r, oil, gas, det€rgeots and vibrations.

Aneeroblc Adheslves: For creating bonds itr tbe abserrce of air, such as wben sealing nuts and bolts. They guad against corrosion, leaks and parts loosening from vibration and shock.

Hot-Melt Adheslves: Available in several types, including clear sticks for general purpose use, white caulk sticks and wood repair sticks. They are used only in hot-melt glue guns.
