Find the Right Glue Type with this Online Tool

NewImage

Lifehack pointed out this useful tool which could be very helpful for any type of wearable or electronics project!

When it comes to arts, crafts and DIY projects, glue is a very handy item to have within reach; it can be used on fabric, glass, wood, leather, plastic and more. If you’re not familiar with all the different types of glue, it can be really hard to decide which one to use for your specific job or project.

Glue Guide is a free resource that helps you find the right glue type for whatever you’re working on. In just two steps you can find the perfect glue and see which forms it’s available in (squeezable tube, brush on applicator, etc). You’ll need to know the type of conditions you’ll be gluing in such as indoor, outdoor, dirty or oily.

    Check out This to That for more adhesive tips. This site has been around since ’99. I think I first heard about it in 2003.
