what type of glue should i use for crafts projects?
i need a glue for my crafts project
mainly to be used for:
to stick certain things to hair slide/grips
sticking flower heads to hair grips
things like that
something stronger than super glue.
any suggestions ?
thanks for the first answer, but is they anything other than a hot glue gun that would work ?
Hot glue usually isn’t very strong by itself, and instant glues (Super Glue, etc) aren’t actually strong in any way besides for pulling-apart stress (not from-the-side stress).
You don’t say what materials you’re trying to bond though, and “crafts” could include all kinds of materials.
You’ll probably want “permanent white glues” for porous items (some are stronger than others though…e.g. Weldbond and Crafters Pick The Ultimate, or Jewel it or GemTac where fabric is involved… and Elmers GlueAll is the weakest).
You’ll probably want silicone type glues for non-porous items or porous + non-porous (like E6000)…use that one with ventilation though and be sure and read the instructions for application.
Another quite strong glue is a 2-part epoxy glue… though it isn’t flexible, it does dry clear.
(Polyurethane glues like Gorilla Glue will hold just about anything but GG is yellow and swells while it’s curing so much be clamped or weighted and any that oozes out in the beginning wiped away.)
