Another question from familiar from the series "And what is better: PVA or a gun?" He came across the writing of this treatise. Usually familiar with a good sense of humor answer: "Looking at whom you want to kill ..."
Well, seriously. With all the variety of types of glue in stores, not the fact that newbies, but also at the pros with solid experience, they run away. After all, you want to work as high quality and gently. And without excess costs. Therefore, on a similar question, as a true Jew, I answer the question: "And for what?". And after all, not any adhesive is suitable, say, to create topiary or gluing flowers in Kanzashi technique.
So I decided to tell about the types of glue, which I myself use regularly. All observations and conclusions are mine. All photos - from the Internet. So, proceed.
Glue "Moment"
There are two varieties that I used and was satisfied. This is a "moment of crystal" and "moment of gel".
Both glue are transparent, both well perform their basic function. In principle, they both are the same, only different tubes. Well, the "moment of the gel" a little wisely seemed to me. And all this glue is good, all he is well glued, with a thin spout on the tube, and even imperceptible all such. What's the catch? And in the foam. It is in the fact that the "moments" includes acetone, which literally dissolves the foam. And one more trick with acetone (who plus, who will minus, decide for themselves): If you can glue a lot in a non-ventilated room for a long time, then purple elephants and green piglets can be visited. They I use when I make the carnings of Kanzashi.
Glue "Titan", "Silacha", "Master"
These adhesives are sold in building stores. Also transparent, they also glue everything. Even the foam is not afraid of them, since they do not have acetone. For the same reason, purple elephants will not come to you, no matter how you wait for them. Therefore, any of these adhesives is a good "moment" replacement. Moreover, according to the price / volume ratio, they benefit from a more expensive "moment". Another difference is the absence of smell (the exception is "master"). But how convenient to use the bottle - everyone let him decide for himself. This glue is indispensable when creating topiary.
Adhesive Pistol
They are sold in stores for sale. Different sizes, different quality, different price. Personally, I have this:
Purchased in the store "Fix-price" for 45 rubles. Plus 10 rods to it, too, for 45 rubles. By the way, it was he who showed me clearly that such a short circuit.
How to use it? Fill the rod, turn on the outlet, waiting when the rod starts to melt, glue. It must be remembered that the gun is a weapon. In this case, hotter. Molten glue very easily burning. Believe the word. What can be glued with such glue? Yes, all heat-resistant. Just remember: it all will continue safely. It's a question of time. It is quiet and even from the fabric falls off respectively with all the decor. Also when cooled, this glue becomes white, which means noticeable. I found another use, but I will tell about it another time :)
PVA glue
Old good "school" glue. Great paper and cardboard perfectly, leaving at the place of gluing a wave of swordless paper. But I also use it. In work from papier-mache, coffee toys, in decoupage and in crafts from salt dough. Here he is indispensable. But there are pitfalls here. Not all PVA is good. The undoubted leader in quality is the Glue of PVA firms. By the way, it is also presented in the photo.
Everything. I repeat: here is my personal experience. Others can have another. If someone has questions, write in the comments. I am pleased to answer them.
Thanks for attention!
