Adhesive for furniture, as is the basic rules for its use

During the repair or creation of furniture, you must use numerous fasteners and compositions. Any material used must be of high quality and reliable, since the durability and resistance of the furniture to various factors depends on it. That is why glue for furniture is chosen with great care, as it must be safe, easy to use, quick to solidify and resistant to environmental influences.

Furniture glue can be used during various processes:

direct production of interior items. Often people prefer to install environmentally friendly and unique designs created in their own homes. To do this, a drawing is formed, details are prepared, and then they are connected with fasteners or glued using high-quality glue. In this case, it is necessary to take into account what material the product is made of, since the correct choice of adhesive depends on this;
repair of furnishings. Often, high-quality models break due to significant impacts or other factors. They can be repaired independently in different ways, but often only gluing of individual elements is suitable. A special furniture glue is suitable for this. It is recommended to work with it with a special tool, due to which it is possible to apply the substance to the most inaccessible areas of the subject.

The use of high-quality and reliable glue for furniture carries a lot of advantages:

for any material, you can choose a special composition that is ideally suited to the structure and surface features, therefore, ideal and reliable bonding of coatings is guaranteed;
an adhesive seam of high elasticity is formed;
it is advisable to choose a waterproof agent that can easily withstand moisture and does not lose its properties and adhesive parameters;
high-quality and reliable compounds gain maximum strength in just 6 or 8 hours;
it is really easy to use such glue, therefore anyone can cope with furniture repair without the corresponding experience and specific skills.

A competent moment is considered to be a competent choice of the adhesive itself, for which the features of the glued surfaces and the operating conditions of the furnishings are taken into account.

What is glue

Furniture glue is available in certain varieties. Types differ in composition and parameters, and before buying any product, you should study the information on the bottle or packaging. This will allow you to choose the glue that is ideally suited to the planned work. Most often, for the repair of different furniture, the means indicated in the table are selected.

Type of glue	Its characteristics
PVA	This glue is considered the most common. It is considered an ideal choice for wooden structures, as well as for decorative elements made of cardboard or paper. Indisputable advantages include affordable cost, and it is also considered easy to use. It is produced in a certain number of species, each of which has its own purpose. If PVA-1 is selected, then it can be used in residential premises. To prepare the composition, it must be mixed with water. PVA-2 can be used for outdoor furniture. This is due to the fact that it has excellent water repellent characteristics. Keep in mind that after working with this glue, not too attractive yellow spots may remain on the surfaces.
Joiner	It is characterized by high strength, so it can glue even the most complex and hard surfaces. To prepare a solution of optimal consistency, granules should be dissolved in water, after which the mixture is cooked for a certain time on high heat, which allows you to get the desired composition. It is characterized by high strength, and does not collapse under the influence of various factors for a long time. Its disadvantages include the duration and complexity of the preparation.
Contact	It contains volatile substances, so it is important to work with it carefully. To do this, always wear a respirator, and use protective gloves. For a certain time after application, the adhesive retains its parameters, so it is possible to adjust the bonded parts. It is important to carry out the process under pressure to achieve the best effect. This solution is distinguished by good strength and elasticity. During operation, an unpleasant and pungent odor appears.
Hot glue	It is used exclusively with the use of a special gun. Adhesive properties appear in the composition after heating. Cures the solution promptly.
Resorcinol	It may consist of one or two components, the first being mixed with water, and the second with a hardener. Glue is formed on the basis of different epoxides, so when working with it you need to use protective clothing and wear a respirator, otherwise it can be harmful to human health. The composition is moisture resistant and is also considered an ideal solution for filling numerous gaps.

Thus, there are many options for furniture glue, but it is impossible to say exactly which glues better and has the best composition, moisture resistance and other parameters. This is due to the fact that each type of glue is suitable for certain furniture.

Rules for selection, taking into account the material of furniture manufacturing

For any interior item, it is advisable to separately select the optimal glue. Any composition has its own individual characteristics and parameters, so it is advisable to choose a different solution for a plastic structure than for a wooden one.

When choosing glue, the rules are taken into account:

if you want to work with fabric, foam rubber or leather, then PVA glue is usually chosen;
the connection of wooden parts is usually carried out using carpentry;
when working with veneer, hot melt is ideal;
animal glue is used for manual veneering, and for its use it is first necessary to melt it in water.

On the packaging of any adhesive, it is indicated for the surfaces of which materials it is ideally suited, therefore it is advisable to focus on these recommendations from the manufacturer.

In addition to studying the furniture production material, in addition, during the selection of the mixture, other factors are taken into account:

the composition should not contain trichloroethane hazardous to health;
the color should match the color of the furniture;
the density of the solution should not be less than 1.1 g / cm3;
optimal means are those created on the basis of synthetic elastomers, which better stick together different materials, and in no way lead to their destruction.

Thus, if you correctly choose the glue, then there will be no problems and difficulties with its use as intended.

The choice of glue depends on what material to stick together

Application Nuances

You should not only correctly choose the adhesive solution, but also have a good understanding of the basic rules for its use, these include:

Before using any solution, the instructions from the manufacturer are carefully studied, on the basis of which you can determine for what material such adhesive is suitable, as well as how to work with it correctly;
the composition is studied to make sure that there are no dangerous and toxic substances, since if they are present, it is necessary to work with the material carefully, and also it is not suitable for furniture intended for the home;
all actions must be carried out either on the street or in a well-ventilated area, and protective clothing must also be worn;
all surfaces before gluing are well cleaned from dust or dirt. It is also worth making sure that they are completely dry;
most compounds have white or yellow colors, so if you have to work with multi-colored designs, it is recommended to choose a colorless composition;
apply glue should not be too thick, and distribute it on two glued surfaces, then gently connect them and firmly press each other.

If two-component solutions are used, then the material is applied to any one surface, and a hardener must be applied to the other, which ensures ideal bond strength. Thus, glue for furniture presented in a variety of forms. They differ in composition, basic characteristics and nuances of use. When choosing, you must consider what material the interior items are made of. It is impossible for the house to choose materials containing hazardous substances. During work with glue safety measures must be observed.
