Master every adhesive technique for flawless bonds across all art materials
Gluing frustrations disappear when you understand which adhesive actually works for your materials. This spiral-bound reference walks through adhesive chemistry, surface preparation, and application techniques across fabric, paper, plastic, wood, and metal, eliminating the guesswork that leads to failed bonds and project disasters. Author Annye Driscoll breaks down PVA, epoxy, cyanoacrylate, contact cement, and specialty adhesives, explaining not just what to use but why certain formulas bond specific materials while others fail spectacularly.
The semi-concealed wire-o binding keeps pages flat while you work, letting you reference techniques hands-free when your fingers are sticky. Compact 5.25×9-inch format fits in tool drawers and project bags rather than taking up workbench real estate. Each section addresses common adhesive failures, why fabric glue soaks through delicate materials, how humidity affects bonding time, what "open time" actually means for your working pace.
Mixed media artists juggling multiple materials finally get clear answers about adhesive compatibility. Quilters learn proper fabric adhesive application that won't gum up needles. Collage artists discover which glues remain flexible and which turn brittle. Eighty pages of practical guidance that prevents the trial-and-error waste of ruined materials and abandoned projects.
