Consulting it last night, we need info on heat resistance. This might be a common ask of adhesives. Shall we add this to each? Or create a table?

Good point, Janet! Perhaps we could task someone to do the necessary research during the Wikithon. In fact I think most glues are heat-resistant for normal purposes (except, obviously, hot melt glue), so maybe it'd be more concise to add a note to those that aren't. And in fact there are other limitations such as moisture and chemical resistance, extreme cold or limited life that perhaps need mention while we're about it.
I'm inclined to leave it in its present discursive format rather than convert it to a table as the amout of text varies widely for different types of glue, which would make for an unbalanced table, and the headings we currently have stand out quite nicely. But a sub-heading "Limitations" under each would be good. - Philip

I love this page! It's one of our most popular.

Consulting it last night, we need info on heat resistance. This might be a common ask of adhesives. Shall we add this to each? Or create a table?
