  3. PVA • (Polyvinyl acetate) • Polyvinyl Acetate is a white water-based adhesive. • The PVA soaks into the surface and sets once the water is absorbed into the material. • Once set, it is often regarded as being stronger than the material it is gluing, making a very strong bond. Adhesives 3.4

  4. Contact adhesive • Both surfaces are coated with this glue which is then allowed to become touch dry. • Adhesion takes place as soon as the two surfaces are placed together. There is no opportunity to reposition the pieces. • Gives off solvent fumes which are dangerous so good ventilation is essential. Adhesives 3.4

  5. Epoxy resin • A very versatile but expensive adhesive which will stick most materials. • Equal amounts of resin and hardener are mixed together into a paste which then sets chemically. • Quick setting epoxy resins can dry as quickly as 15 minutes. • Araldite is an example of Epoxy Resin.

  6. Tensol cement • There are several types available. • The most common is Dichloromethane, which works by dissolving the surfaces of hard plastics such as acrylic and polystyrene. • Sets very quickly. • Very dangerous fumes given off so ventilation is essential. Adhesives 3.4
