Sticky Stuff

This page covers sticky tapes and glues.

Summary

When things fall part there are various types of glue and sticky tape that you can use to stick them back together again, but different ones are good for different things. This page will help you choose the right one.

Safety

Warning03.png
If in breaking, live electrics were (or might have been) exposed, then it can never be completely safe if stuck back together. If you decide to try (at your own risk) you should at least ensure that any glue is supported by strong tape wrapped completely around the item, with a good overlap.
