A Guide to Buy the Best Types of Glue For Your Crafting Needs

April 19, 2021 by Annie

If you are an avid crafter, you know the importance of having the right kind of glue in your craft box. No matter what type of unique materials you use, it will come to nothing if the glue cannot hold it together, and everything comes apart. Not all glues are the same. While most will work on light objects like paper, you need something extra when working with heavier materials. Here is a guide to buying the best type of glue for your art and craft projects.

  1. Craft Glue

This kind of glue is perfect for simple DIY craft tools that children can use safely. These are water-based glues and do not have any toxins. Some of them might contain resin, but by and large, they are harmless. In case it gets onto any surface, it can be cleaned easily with some hot water without making a mess. They are available in tubes, or you can also use glue sticks, which are easy to carry in school bags.

  1. Wood Glue

If you love working with wood, then wood glue is a must. This glue is explicitly meant for sticking wood or ply together. It is water-resistant, and when allowed to rest and dry, your wood projects will come out strong. It can also be used to stick small pieces of wood furniture if they come apart.

  1. Fabric Glue

As the name suggests, fabric glues are meant for sticking pieces of fabric together. Unless you have fabric glue in your possession, it can be challenging to work with craft items made of cloth, like ribbon or embroidered flowers. The fabric absorbs most of it, and nothing remains behind to stick it onto a surface. There are many kinds of fabric glues, so you should choose the ones that work with the type of cloth you are using.

  1. Super Glue

Super glue is versatile, and you can use it to stick almost anything. However, this glue is solid and dries very quickly. Be very careful while using it because if you happen to stick your craft item on the wrong surface or stick the wrong pieces together due to some mistake, it can be tough to take them off. Since it dries so quickly, the entire thing could come apart if you pull too much. Only expert crafters should use it.

  1. Spray Adhesives

As the name suggests, this kind of glue comes in a container that you can easily spray on. It is really handy to use when you have to cover a large area. This glue’s strength varies, so choose the one depending on the material you use. All you have to do is spray from the container without getting your hands messy at all!

  1. Glue Guns

Glue guns are quite popular because it is the easiest method of handling hot glue. This glue is very strong, and you can use it to make items like jewellery or work with other expensive items. Be careful while handling glue guns and never leave children alone with them. It is an electric device that can be a possible choking hazard for toddlers. It is used by expert crafters, especially while working with heavier objects.

Glues are an integral part of any crafts toolbox. You can have quite a few of them with you at a time, depending on which kind of project you will work on. Ensure that the glue is water-resistant and dries quickly enough when you are working on significant projects, and all should be well. Buy your glue from a reputed platform offering all these varieties at the right prices.
