As always, I gotta define things? What is an Adhesive? An adhesive is any substance that, when applied to the surfaces of materials, binds the surfaces together and resists separation.[1] The term "adhesive" may be used interchangeably with glue, cement, mucilage, or paste.[2] So now we are all clear (as mud, right?). I found this awesome blog from Blue Door Beads that did such a wonderful job at explaining the differences and recommended instances for use with each kind, I know I need to keep this one in the hip pocket.
Me, personally, I've got about 3 tubes of GS-hypo cement and 2 tubes of E6000, a couple of bottles of glazes (Diamond); Mod Podge, some Aleen's .
Since getting into Resin, I've found out about a product called a fixative. If you know me, you'll know I'm a literal person...So I went to Hobby Lobby, Michael's and JoAnn's...just to find some fixative (literally, I was looking for the can to say fixative). Well none of them did, but they had Spray Adhesive, so I bought it. I should have Googled first and then I'd know that they aren't quite the same thing...answer.yahoo.com says the consistency and hardness of the spray adhesive is not the same as a fixative therefore it can collect dust.Wish I'd known then what I know now!!! Oh well...
