List of glues
This is a list of various types of glue. Historically, the term "glue" only referred to protein colloids prepared from animal flesh. The meaning has been extended to refer to any fluid adhesive.
- See adhesive for general discussion of glue.
There are many adhesive substances that are considered or commonly referred to as "glue".
Animal based adhesives
Plant based adhesives
Plant-based glues:
- Canada balsam (natural resin)
- pine rosin based (natural resin)
