- E6000--industrial strength adhesive. Look at the back. Also look at safety warnings.
- Gorilla Glue--a step above liquid nails. Very strong adhesive.
- Liquid Nails--a multipurpose adhesive come down from olympus. Very good for attaching building materials e.g. ceramic, wood or stone.
- Mutipurpose Spray adhesive--good for wood, foam, and looots of things. Check the back.
- Wood Glue--great for wood. Yep.
- Hot Glue--basically magic. Multipurpose–not the best for bonding wood together (although okay for added support). Beautiful for cardboard, felt, etc.
- can be used to bond things together and create stylistic/descorative touches on a prop.
- Styro Glue--good for styrofoam. Yep.
- Modge Podge--works as a sealer, glue, or a finish. Check the back. Too weak for building materials.
- Elmer's Glue--paper, felt, and crafty things like that.
- Glue Sticks--I will trust you to use these properly. I'm sure you know what for.

- E6000?
- 2 part expoxy
- Gorilla glue
- liquid nails
Paper/Felt
- Hot glue (probably felt only)
- Modge Podge(?)
- Styro glue
- Elmer's glueHot glue (probably felt only)
- Glue sticks (please: paper only)
You could use something stronger, but that would be overkill, and would probably have adverse effects.
Styrofoam
- Multipurpose spray adhesive
- Hot glue
- Styro Glue
Adhesive Application
Wood

(Similar for Ceramic/Stone)
- Add an appropriate amount of glue to the two surfaces to be bonded together.
- Put the two surfaces together, and clamp together for the amount of time specified on the adhesive container.
- probable clamping time: 1-2 hours
- Use actual clamps
- If wood is of irregular shape, consider drilling screws in to hold prop together and simultaneously act as a clamping mechanism.
- Human clamps work as a last resort/if drilling in a screw is too dangerous for a delicate prop.
- Even after clamping is done, make sure to avoid stressing joints of prop for 24 hours (check adhesive container for specific timing)
