The Complete Guide to Glues and Adhesives

In 1995, Tammy Young's The Crafter's Guide to Glues took the crafting world by storm. Now, Tammy has teamed up with Nancy Ward for this full-color follow-up that covers everything crafters and artists need to know about glues and adhesives currently on the market, including their uses and applications. Besides presenting the basics, like safety, there are nearly 30 quick and easy step-by-step projects.Now includes memory crafting, stamping, and embossingCovers glues, adhesives, and applications for paper, wood, glass, metal, "stitchless" sewing, and embellishing any surfaceSpecial sections on hot glues and "power bonding"

This sequel to Young's The Crafter's Guide to Glues (LJ 2/15/96) offers information about glues and adhesives that have recently come on the market as well as old favorites such as rubber cement and white glue. There are simple projects developed by Ward (Stamping Made Easy) using various kinds of glue, but the chief value of this book is as a reference for the application and use of the rather bewildering array of adhesives now available. Brand names are listed for each type (in fact, a brand name index would have been useful), and there is a well-illustrated section on tools used in gluing projects. Libraries already having Young's previous book will want to replace it with this one. Other libraries will want to add this to their crafts collections.
