Glues are a particular type of adhesive that is made from a water-based solution of natural or synthetic polymers, such as cellulose, protein, or synthetic resins. It is typically used for bonding porous materials, such as paper, cardboard, or fabric, as well as for repairing small cracks and broken objects.
Adhesives, on the other hand, are a broader term that refers to any substance used to bond two surfaces together, including glue, but also other types such as epoxy, tape, contact cement, and hot melt adhesives. These different types of adhesives have different properties and are used for different applications.
