Abstract There are 4 different types of glues/ adhesives commonly used for craft and home fixing projects. How do these different types of glues/ adhesives impact the integrity of the structure? My hypothesis is that they are not equally effective and I am going to discover which one will work best. It will be important to develop a consistent testing method to ensure I am comparing the glue’s and not the structures. I believe that the superglue will be the strongest but the wood glue will come close. I think the craft glue will be the weakest. My hypothesis is that the bridges will break at the glue points.
