#LowVOCadhesives are those with a low level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These adhesives find applications in a variety of industries, including woodworking, automotive, and aerospace. #VOCs are compounds that evaporate at room temperature and are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. Low VOC #adhesives are becoming more popular as more businesses strive to reduce their environmental impact.

#Acrylicadhesives are a strong and versatile type of synthetic adhesive. They are made up of #acrylic #polymers and monomers, which form a strong and long-lasting bond. Acrylic #adhesives are used in a wide range of industries, including automotive and aerospace, medical device assembly, and sporting goods. They are also used extensively in the construction industry to bond metal, stone, wood, and other materials.

It's Monday afternoon, I've gotten my old tiny jam jar stash out, and I'm making forbidden jam.

#UVadhesives are a special type of adhesives that cure when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. They are typically used to bond #materials that require a strong, fast, and durable bond. #UV #adhesives are widely used in industries such as electronics, medical, optics, automotive, aerospace, and more. The most common uses for UV adhesives include bonding and sealing components, adhering labels and decorative items, and creating waterproof seals.

Prompted by needing to stick a plastic sensor to a bike frame. Due to the gap I had to work with, I couldn't use double-sided tape pads. Rubber cement to the rescue. I applied the glue, placed the sensor exactly where I needed it and fixed it with cable ties to dry over 24 hours. Today it's a perfect fit with no movement.

Big fan of adhesives (I have a selection like a bag of golf clubs at home) and this one's incredibly versatile. #adhesives #glue
