know your materials

So kids, this story begins 4 years ago with me producing a ton of art for outdoor use. I use a lot of glue, my relationship with super glue is long and sticky and is weather resistant. The other two adhesion materials I used at that time were hot glue and E600. Unfortunately both these glues are not water proof. Lessen learned, lots of take apart and reassembly was involved and other adhesion have taken there place that are all weatherproof. This is a good thing because my pieces were created with the thought that they would all be hanging outdoors.

So now I am making indoor pieces utilizing recycled plastic, and guess what, E600 is the only glue I have that will stick to a lot of this plastic. I grabbed my glue tote (yeah I have a lot of glue) and pulled 8 tubes of E600 out to use on my creations again.
