People are increasingly mistaking #glue for eye drops. Try not to do that. - https://boingboing.net/2025/03/12/people-are-increasingly-mistaking-glue-for-eye-drops-try-not-to-do-that.html eeek

(This includes you if you have ever so much as reattached a broken-off handle to a coffee mug!)
Have found A Useful Site (if you need it) & Lovely Rabbit Hole (if you don't):
A website of recommendations for gluing This To That (#fabric to #leather, #ceramic to #vinyl, #styrofoam to #rubber, etc.), plus a trivia page & funny FAQs.
Also available en français
Enjoy!
Here are some of the glues I use and what I use them for!
E6000 - Good for most beadwork projects, but takes some time to dry.
Loctite Gel - I use this a lot for gluing centers and backings on applique projects. Dries fast but also hard, so I don't use it on the edges of a project where I need to stitch through.
ZAP-A-GAP - For gluing the ends of paracord bead-wrapping projects into end clasps.
G-S Hypo Cement - For precision gluing with the needle-tip applicator.

Why yes, I was using a small paintbrush to brush glue onto something and then absent mindedly put the paintbrush into my hair to make sure I didn't lose it.
Luckily it's cheap PVC glue and so relatively easy to wash out but ::sheesh::
This kind of ass-hattery is why I mostly only use PVC and only use stronger glues with requested supervision !
Woop Woop it’s #FollowFriday again.
Follow @SocietyOfSigns if you are into #icons and #VisualLanguage.
I hope @samarskaya will stick around and convince the @typedirectors to post more.
Congratulations to 25 years of @typotheque.
There is a #GLUE related exhibition at @waag that looks really interesting.
Just joined: @janegbers from Our Polite Society!
I’ve got to finish something for #Typeknitting @rschloemer now.
Bye
The Compostable Collection
by Laura Freya Weller
(created during laura's internship at #waag's #fablab in Amsterdam 2023/24)
This collection is made in solidarity with #extinctionrebellion and addresses the environmental impacts of the fashion industry.
Made from compostable materials such as algea, wool and wood and dyed with natural pigments.
Visit #GLUE and this collection until this Sunday @waag / Amsterdam.
WRITER FUEL: Some memories last a lifetime — and now, scientists have revealed a type of molecular "glue" that helps those memories stick around.
String concatenation is crucial in R for data manipulation.
Use paste() and paste0() in base R for simple concatenation.
The stringr package offers str_c() for consistent and readable concatenation.
The stringi package provides stri_c() for powerful customization.
The glue package allows embedding expressions within strings for simplicity.
Experiment with these methods to find the best fit for your needs.
Happy coding!
#Auer packaging ship their crates in big boxes. I had the idea of making a #scratch thing for cats from the boxes.
It took 20 box cutter blades to cut into strips; and about 1.5 liters of wood glue to glue into blocks. The hours shall remain uncounted.
The #glue was going off and I figured it might be good enough for #paper. ("Der Reim is fett... äh der Leim muss weg.")
My #cat spitefully keeps destroying the carpet, so anyone in .de who wants one or two of these blocks?
Model building fun: those two fingers holding a 1:87 scale bus stop sign?
They're glued together. Thanks to the distractive power of baby (and fast drying cyanoacrylate glue ;-))
edit: maybe it's not *entirely* fair to blame baby for this.
