Contact adhesive is a type of glue that bonds materials together upon contact. It is commonly used for projects involving wood, laminate, and various types of plastics. The adhesive is applied to both surfaces that need to be joined, and once the surfaces touch, they create a strong, immediate bond. This adhesive is known for its quick-drying properties and versatility. It is often used in construction, crafting, and upholstery. However, it is important to use it in well-ventilated areas due to the strong fumes it can emit during application.
