Glue and Adhesives

Epoxy refers to a type of polymer that can be used as an adhesive, but not all adhesives are epoxy. Epoxy adhesives are known for their strong bonding capabilities and resistance to heat and chemicals.

No, acetone is about the same viscosity as water.

No, you cannot make slime with just water, flour, and glue. Slime typically requires a slime activator (such as borax, contact lens solution, or laundry detergent) to create the desired texture and consistency. Mixing water, flour, and glue will likely result in a sticky paste rather than slime.

When it gets too thick to come out of the bottle, it's bad. Until then, don't worry.

Styrofoam is not an effective alternative to glue, as it does not have adhesive properties. It is a lightweight and insulating material, commonly used for packaging and insulation. If you need a substitute for glue, consider alternatives such as tape, rubber cement, or adhesive putty.

Ingesting small amounts of non-toxic glue like Elmer's should not be fatal, but it can cause discomfort, stomach upset, and potential allergic reactions. However, consuming large quantities can lead to more serious health issues such as intestinal blockages. If you or someone you know ingests glue, seek medical advice immediately.

Clay glue is typically referred to as clay adhesive or clay paste, used for bonding clay pieces together in pottery and craft projects.

Some substitutes for glue when making slime include cornstarch, liquid latex, laundry detergent, or clear shampoo. Each of these alternatives can help create a sticky and stretchy texture similar to that of glue in slime recipes.

Inhaling super glue fumes can be harmful, causing irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory system. Prolonged exposure or large amounts of fumes can lead to headaches, dizziness, and even respiratory problems. It's important to use super glue in a well-ventilated area to minimize the risk of inhaling harmful fumes.

To make slime, you can use white school glue or clear glue. Avoid using superglue or hot glue as they will not produce the desired stretchy and gooey texture.

Glue is typically considered a non-Newtonian fluid because its viscosity can change with the applied force, such as stirring or spreading. The viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids like glue can vary depending on factors like shear rate and stress.

You can make slime without borax and glue by using cornstarch and water. Simply mix cornstarch and water in a bowl until you get the desired slime consistency. You can also try using liquid starch or laundry detergent as alternatives to borax and glue. Remember to experiment with the ratios to achieve the perfect slime texture.

The borax acts as a cross-linking agent that polymerizes the glue molecules, creating a bouncy rubber-like material. The water helps dissolve the borax and distribute it evenly in the glue mixture. When the mixture dries, the cross-linked polymers give the ball its elasticity and bounce.

A sticky note is a piece of stationery with a re-adherable strip of adhesive on the back. They are typically used for writing quick notes and can be stuck on various surfaces without causing damage.

The main chemicals in a glue stick are polymers such as polyvinyl acetate or PVP. These polymers provide the adhesive properties of the glue stick. Other ingredients may include tackifiers, antioxidants, and plasticizers to improve the performance and durability of the glue.

It is not recommended to drink out of a glass that has been fixed with super glue as the chemicals in the glue can leach into your drink and be harmful to your health. It's best to use a different glass for drinking to avoid any potential risks.

Yes, you can use tacky glue to make slime. Tacky glue can work as a substitute for white school glue in slime recipes. Just be sure to adjust the amount of other ingredients accordingly to achieve the desired consistency.

No, a catalyst is not a glue. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process, while a glue is a substance used to join two or more surfaces together.

The viscosity of glue can vary depending on the type and formulation of the glue. In general, glue can have a medium to high viscosity, meaning it can be thick and resistant to flow. This property is important for ensuring proper adhesion and bonding between surfaces.

The process you are referring to is known as cementation. It involves dissolved materials crystallizing and binding sediment particles together to form a solid rock. This process is a key step in the formation of sedimentary rocks.

To remove super glue from a desk, you can try soaking a cloth in acetone or nail polish remover and gently dabbing the affected area. Another option is using a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste, applying it to the glue, and letting it sit for a few hours before gently scrubbing it off. Be sure to test these methods in a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure they do not damage the desk's finish.

Yes, the amount of water in the glue can affect the stickiness of the slime. Adding more water can make the slime stickier, while reducing the water content can make it less sticky. Finding the right balance is key to achieving the desired slime consistency.

No it will not (at least not using the usual volume and thickness). Cyanoacrylates, despite their adhesive abilities, are relatively brittle if impacted, and do not have the cohesion to deflect metal objects.

No, acetone is not a rubbing alcohol. Acetone is a common solvent used for cleaning and stripping certain materials, while rubbing alcohol is a mix of isopropyl alcohol and water used for disinfecting and sanitizing.

Without glue, many items such as furniture, toys, and electronics would be difficult to assemble and maintain. Industries like construction and manufacturing would be significantly impacted due to the lack of adhesive materials. Creative pursuits like crafting and DIY projects would also be limited.
