Different types of adhesives
Cyanoacrylates. Used to solvent weld plastics such as polycarbonates. Once cured cannot be removed.
PVA (Poly Vinyl Acetate). Generally known as wood glue. Used to glue non-porous materials such as wood and some cardboards. During curing excess can be removed with soapy water, but once cured cannot be removed other than mechanically.
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate). Known as hot melt glue. The best known, most versatile, and most efficient adhesive. EVA does not cure.
