Glues - Also called Adhesives

P.V.A.  (polyvinyl acetate) There are two types interior and exterior.
Both are used for sticking wood to wood. Interior does not hold when it gets wet so anything to be made for outside needs exterior. Exterior is far more expensive than interior so you wouldn't use it for an inside piece of work. These glues need to be left overnight to dry. To look at it is a thick white cream.

EPOXY RESIN (one trade name is Araldite). These glues are two separate substances which do not harden unless you mix them together. Once mixed they will stick almost anything, wood to wood, metal to wood, wood to plastic, ceramic pots and so on. They are very expensive so you wouldn't use them if there was something cheaper you could use. These glues will harden in less than 15 minutes. To look at these substances are thick sticky liquids one which is clear and one which is yellow.

SUPERGLUE  Even more expensive than epoxy resin these glues will stick most surfaces which are fairly smooth and which will not allow the glue to 'soak in', such as glass, metal, plastic. They can also stick skin so you have to be careful. Once the glue is applied a slight pressure for about 10 seconds will produce a very strong joint. To look at superglue is a thin clear liquid.
