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.

Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
