Inventory
Hello friend. As you may or may not know, we have a paint cabinet. Inside said cabinet are a lot of adhesives. Choosing the correct one can make or break your career. Just kidding. It'll make or break your prop. Multiple times.The adhesives we have at the moment are:
- 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.
- 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.
Not in inventory, but recommended: 2 part Epoxy--on the same level as gorilla glue and liquid nails.
Recommended Adhesives (In order of probable bond strength)
Wood
- E6000?
- 2 part expoxy
- Gorilla glue
- liquid nails
- wood glue
- multipurpose spray adhesive
Ceramic/Stone
- E6000?
- 2 part expoxy
- Gorilla glue
- liquid nails
Paper/Felt
- Modge Podge(?)
- Styro glue
- Elmer's glue
- Hot 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
- Styro Glue
Adhesive Application
Wood/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.
