Guide To Glues

07 May 2009 - 11:54 PM

Hi guys. This is my first post and I didn't want it to be that stupid and useless so I decided to do it about something I could use myself. That thing just happens to be... Glue! That's right this is the Guide to Glues. Also if you know about any glues that aren't posted please PM me or write it in this topic. Also if you would like to add anything just give me a holler. (If it says coming soon I have not yet used the glue and need your help to fill it!) Hope this helps!


Gorilla Glue: Very messy expanding foam that isn't very clean. It isn't very strong for holding things to gether but for filling up cracks and sealing leaks it is great.

Plumber's Goop: A very good glue commonly used for leaks in air guns. For any seal what so ever trust your goop! Although this glue is rather expensive and takes a generous time to dry it can be a pain. This also cannot glue a coupler to a blaster for it is weak in my books. Easy to work with and a great glue!

Jb Weld: REALLY powerful. I've heard its been used to repair industrial machines. A little dab is super strong. It's best used for repairs, (eg- Re-gluing a Manta Ray wing on, Reattaching a pump, etc) as it take a few minutes to set and is weak while setting. Don't fool around with it, because that shit's permanent.- Echnalaid

Hot Glue: Used mostly for making darts this is important glue. Not much strength in stability but for filling up dead space it works like a charm. Sadly on high heat settings it can burn/warp PETG and foam. Other than that cheap quick drying and a glue that can be used for jobs no other glue could do hot glue is the way to go.

Epoxy: Well there are many different types and brands of epoxy but most of them reek awesomeness! This is a heavy duty glue that can get ANY coupler on or fuse to pieces of plastics together. I personally think it is expensive and very hard to works with but those are the only downs of epoxy.

Fishin' Glue: Angel tends to use this glue oftenly and it is a great super glue from what I have heard of it. I have had no experience with it but it can do some heavy duty stuff! It's only use is to fuze to things together because it is a superglue. From my experience with super glues they come out quick and over all annoying.

Zap-a-Gap: Coming soon

Gel Crazy Glue: I use it to attach heavy duty stuff like LS priming handles, pumps, and securing other items. It isn't a great space filler, but it definitely has a strong bond.- iMod1

Stick Fast Glues: These "super" glues are triple distilled to a level of purity that guarantees long shelf life and permanent bonding power for virtually any material in the shop. These non-toxic adhesives are perfect for repairing broken glassware and ceramics, reattaching keyboard keys, building models, salvaging favorite toys and so on.- highlandworking.com
