For upholstery projects that require fabrics to be bonded, a great solution is a multipurpose glue stick. Utilizing a glue gun will make the task quick,easy and accurate.

It will bond a wide variety of substrates, including foam ,leather,carpet, felt and fabrics.
Wood
Cyanoacrylate Adhesive GP416 is a high-quality, fast-acting super glue. Suitable for bonding a range of materials, including many porous ones, its high viscosity makes it ideal for wood. Tuskbond spray adhesive is a also a good choice for use with wood . It’s ideal for permanent bonds that require good initial bond strength. In addition to this, it has a very good temperature resistance to.
Mounting
Dia Billy Blobs Glue Dots – These small removable or permanent glue dots are a popular choice for mounting various things. The double-sided blob of glue is ideal for mounting photos, pictures, displays, posters and many, many more other products.
Packaging
Fast Set Glue Sticks – These fast-setting glue sticks offer excellent adhesion to carton boards, making them ideal for securely sealing packaging. From cases and cartons and end-of-line packaging to point of sale and display and promotional packaging, they can meet your every need.
Industrial
High Strength Glue Sticks contain assembly-grade hot-melt glue that has an excellent level of adhesion and a high molten tack, making them ideal for difficult surfaces – particularly industrial bonding applications such as ceramic tile displays, automative components and product assembly.
Plastics & Rubber
For everyday plastics, Multipurpose Glue Sticks are a simple and effective choice. Tuskbond Spray Adhesive can be used for bonding most plastics and polythene, too, although some vinyl contains large amounts of plasticizer which, over time, can migrate and soften the bone, so it is always worth testing first. For PVCU and rubber, you may want to use Cyanoacrylate Adhesive GP416 or Cyanoacrylate Adhesive GP424, both of which are high quality, fast-acting superglues that are suitable for bonding a very wide range of materials, including many porous ones. For more delicate plastics, it may be worth considering Low Melt Glue Sticks instead, which are particularly effective for heat-sensitive materials such as polystyrene, films and foams.
Thanks to their abilities to form permanent bonds, Tuskbond Spray Adhesive and Cyanoacrylate Adhesive GP416 and Cyanoacrylate Adhesive GP424 are all suitable for bonding metals. GP 424 Cyanoacrylate Adhesive is particularly recommended for use on close-fitting parts and fairly smooth, even surfaces.
