Glues
Here is a list of different glues I use for building my Halloween stuff, and what they work really good on...
- Wood Glue
- Any kind of wood projects.
- Superglue
- Anything, except your FINGERS! Please remember not to get any on your skin!! Works on Styrofoam.
- Hot Glue (guns and sticks)
- Pretty much anything but, it don't work very well on plastic, sometimes it will just pull right off. Excellent for fabric, paper mache' items, Styrofoam, cardboard, and wood. (Make sure the area where you are applying the glue is CLEAN!!)
- Liquid Nails
- Everything and anything. Excellent for pvc, wood, metal, ceramic, plastic, and cardboard.
- Elmers
- Comes in regular white, clear gel, colored and fluorescent colors.
- White Elmers
- Dries pretty clear but, kind of has a milky color to it. Good for paper mache' and other paper projects.
- Clear Gel
- Dries clear. Good also for paper mache' and other paper projects.
- Colored and Fluorescent Colors
- Works like the white except I wouldn't use it for paper mache' it's too expensive and you wouldn't see the glue color if you paint your project. It comes in small bottles. If using a black light, this is excellent for lettering! Also, you can use for "dribbles" down one of your fake walls, just squirt a big glob and let it run down, have paper or plastic on the ground to catch the excess that runs off protecting the floor.
