Joiner glue at home

This is the best glue for gluing wood. It effectively glues cardboard, paper and other materials. But this glue has several peculiar features:

• it can not be stored for a long time in a liquid form, because it very quickly spoils, is covered with mold, and also it is gelling;
• has a sharp and disgusting smell.

Therefore, before making a super glue of this type with your own hands, immediately prepare a place with the front of the work. There are a small number of ways in which it is possible to prepare quality joiner glue, including long-term storage. The following methods are considered most accessible.

Method one:

1. Take ordinary joinery glue.
2. Grind and soak it in a container with water until it swells completely.
3. It must necessarily become soft, reminiscent of a cold.
4. This solution is placed in a special container for melting, which is called an adhesive. It can be made independently from ordinary cans.
5. Place the prepared adhesive together with the prepared paste in a water bath, and then put on a very slow fire.
6. Mix the mass with a stick that is made of wood.
7. In case if it burns, your glue will get yellow color and will lose a significant part of its gluing functions.
8. After this mass has passed to the required state, dilute it with vodka in the proportion of 720 g of glue to 950 g of vodka.
9. Then - for every 100 g of glue add 12 g of powdered alum.

Important! The joinery obtained by this method provides a sufficiently high strength to the surfaces to be bonded, and also has sufficiently good water-repellent functions.

Method two:

1. In the glue, boil the joinery adhesive together with water in a 1: 1 ratio.
2. Wait until it starts to thicken.
3. Pour the mass into a container of porcelain and rub with a pistil until the solution looks like a gelatinous mass.
4. After this, put the mixture on a special plate, cool and cut into pieces.

Important! If necessary, 720 g of the resulting glue is dissolved in the mixture, which consists of 720 g of water, as well as 360 g of vodka. Bring this mixture to a boil.

Adhesive for foam

In order to insulate and soundproof the living quarters, polystyrene plates and polystyrene foam are often used. They are glued, as a rule, to the supporting wall. When choosing a foam adhesive, consider that solvents like acetone can melt it.

1. In equal proportions, mix the slaked lime together with the cottage cheese until a homogeneous mass is formed.
2. Use this glue immediately after finishing it, because it quickly hardens.

Casein glue for wood, leather and puzzles

A casein glue is a good option for gluing leather, as well as wooden products and other materials. This glue can be successfully used during surface treatment for puzzles. How to make super glue this type at home?

The first stage: the allocation of casein directly from curd

In order to prepare it at home, the curd used must necessarily undergo a degreasing process. To do this:

1. Soak in a soda solution, which you must prepare in the proportion of 1 liter of water for 1-2 tbsp.l.drinking soda, for about 15-20 minutes.
2. After this, thoroughly wash it under running water, wring out and dry until hard.
3. Then, cook the powder.
   

This powder is casein, and a solution based on it is an excellent option to make glue for shoes at home.

The second stage: prepare the glue from the prepared casein

To prepare a sticky mass of casein, pour the powder absolutely into any dishes - but it is better to take a flat one, and pour out the water with a thin trickle, constantly mixing. For 1 part casein powder, take 2 parts of water. You must have a thick mass.

Important! The most important moment during the preparation of casein glue is further mixing before forming a homogeneous mass. The better the solution is mixed, the better the glue quality. This procedure will take you at least 20-30 minutes. But you can speed up the whole process if you use an ordinary mixer.

You see, everything is not so scary, so there's no need to run off to the store in a hurry, as soon as the glue is over, because now you know how to cook it from improvised tools.
