The inventor of Post-Its (Art Fry of 3M) was consulted for the film Romy & Michele's High School Reunion (in which the protagonists pretend to have invented Post-Its to impress their old schoolmates) and says he wrote the part where Michele somehow knows "the formula for glue." "It was completely bogus, and I claim credit for it."

This is the one thing my brain retains about glue.

You might say the rest of it just doesn't stick.

something you don't learn until you get really far into the making and tinkering life is that there's no such thing as "glue" really. there are so many kinds of substances that stick other substances together and they are all very different and if you just go look at the adhesives aisle in the hardware store the packaging never actually tells you anything useful. it's like "this is SUPER T-REX POWER GLUE" and the fine print says "good for use on wood metal and plastic". okay. but WHICH PLASTICS MY GOOD BITCH,

because SURPRISE, there's no such thing as "plastic" either. every kind of wood is basically the same on a chemical level, but the only thing every plastic has in common is "some of its molecules are long" and that is NOT a quality that determines how things stick together.

I just ordered some stuff I hope will permanently stick a circuit board to a steel sheet and withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees. by the way circuit boards are made of epoxy-bound woven glass cloth which is cool as hell but what the fuck do you glue that with? can any of the 12 kinds of adhesives I currently own do that? no of course not. if I want to stick two pieces of acrylic together so hard they become watertight to a depth of 3000 metres I have some shit that does that, but it does literally nothing else.

anyway. once you start learning how many kinds of sticking things together there are, the people at 3M start to seem like witches and I don't know if they're the kind we can trust with that level of arcane knowledge

The term "Horsepower" didn't originally refer to engine output, but to stickiness. Cars aren't as old as glue.

i love the "special glue that lets you walk up any surface" meme because there's no tag for it. everyone has a different interpretation of what it should be tagged as and trying to find a collection of it is like inventing a glue that
