CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
During the ancient times, people were using either gums from plants or boiled-down bones and hides of animals as their adhesives or glues. These glues needed such a long time to dry and stick. And when the glue finally sticks, they formed a structure that was not particularly strong and durable. These adhesives were usually used in woodworking wherein the liquid glue flowed in the wood pores, and then dried, bonding the wood together.
Due to the lack of durability of the adhesive in the past centuries, many people looked for stronger and fast-drying glues which led to the discovery of the synthetic glues we use nowadays. These modern adhesives dry quickly and form strong bonds.
Superglues which are also known as instant glues set in seconds. They are the synthetic or commercial glues that we use today. Epoxy resins are also available wherein two ingredients are mixed together and then set in 10 to 30 minutes.
Since glues are used to stick objects together, it is a necessity for everyday living. Without adhesives, simple things that were broken will not be any more functional. There will be an immediate need to purchase another object to replace the broken one. With glue, things that were detached could be joined again together to get the desired result.
On the other hand, commercial or synthetic glue could be purchased in stores but these stores are not always available or open at a certain point of time. If there is a need for glue in the middle of the night, and having the certain materials to make homemade glue, it could be of great help.
