When you're working on upcycling projects, picking the right glue is really important. It can make your project last longer and work better. Here are some common types of glues and what they're good for:

1. PVA Glue (White Glue)

   • This glue is great for things like paper and wood.
   • It takes about 30 minutes to a few hours to dry.
   • It sticks strongly, holding up to 70% of the original strength of the material.

2. Hot Glue

   • This is perfect for quick fixes and works on many materials like fabric, plastic, and wood.
   • It sets really fast, in about 10 to 20 seconds!
   • It’s best when you need a flexible bond, but be careful because it can melt with heat.

3. Super Glue (Cyanoacrylate)

   • This glue is great for small parts and quick fixes.
   • It dries fast, in just 10 to 30 seconds, but it can break easily.

4. Epoxy

   • This is the go-to glue for tough projects and materials that don't absorb things.
   • It takes about 5 to 60 minutes to start setting, and it gets fully hard in 24 hours.

Choosing the right glue can help your DIY upcycling projects last longer and turn out better!
