2-Way Glue: You apply this adhesive to both surfaces you are bonding. If you apply wet to wet the bond is permanent. If you allow the adhesive to dry, apply dry to dry, the bond is temporary.Adhesive Dots: Double-sided adhesive that is applied in a series of dots rather than a thin solid ribbon of adhesive using a tape runner.
Adhesive Squares: This “tape” has adhesive covered with a paper backing on both sides. Remove the paper backing and apply. Adds a spot of adhesive rather than a line of adhesive like tape runners.
Decoupage Glue: Thin glue brushed onto surface of paper as a sealer and under paper as a bonding agent.
Double Stick Tape: This tape has adhesive on both sides, but no paper backing.
Clear Lacquer: A very clear glue that can be used to bond materials or as a top-coat over a material to give the material a glass like look.
Epoxy: Usually mixed (2 Part Epoxies) just before use, this glue is as tough as glues come.
Fabric Glue: Designed to bond fabric without bleeding and many hold up through washings.
Glitter Glue: A liquid thin-bodied glue designed to adhere fine glitters to surfaces, which dries clear and doesn’t “soak up” the glitter, but allows the glitter to float on the glue surface for extra sparkle.
Glue Stick: Glue in solid form inside of a tube that is rubbed onto surface.
Glue Pens: Liquid glue in a handy pen applicator with various shaped tips.
Instant Glue: Fast drying, this chemical glue works best on small surface areas using only a small amount of glue. Best on nonporous surfaces.
Jewelry Glue: Designed to hold or bond heavier objects such as a bead to paper or metal to paper.
Paper Glue: A thin-bodied glue designed to bond paper without damage to paper such as buckling or wrinkling.
Plastic Cement: This glue works by dissolving any plastic areas it touches thus bonding two such surfaces.
Rubber Cement: Glues paper without wrinkling and can be repositioned. Best not to use on photos.
Tacky Glue: Very thick-bodied white glue that can bond with a hold similar to a hot glue without the heat.
Tape Runners: A double-sided adhesive that is applied with a tape holder or runner.
Ultra Tacky Tape: This thick, usually pink tape has an extra bond quality often used to adhere seed or mini beads and is often used for embossing lines.
White Glue: Non-toxic, nonflammable, this all-purpose glue works on most surfaces and dries clear.
