 Comprehensive glue guide November 12, 2009

This book is quite complete and comprehensive. It nicely avoids the name brands and asks of the reader to look at the ingredients. Smart.

 NOT all inclusive...but satisfactory for crafters even though better products exist July 15, 2008

As one with a strong chemical background; museum/fossil conservator (using and testing a multitude of acrylics, acryloids, butvars, animal & wood glues, cyanoacrylates/superglues, etc.); and crafter (multi media - metals, rocks/minerals, fabric, paper, acrylics, oils, colored pencils, molding and casting, jewelry making and so much more), books like these cover only the basics. It is imperative for all to do their OWN tests on products that can be tossed if the "experiment" doesn't work out. Test FIRST, then apply where appropriate. If you have access to the latest publications on adhesives/coatings/glues, I believe it is important to learn from the scientists who actually developed many of these adhesives/coatings, yet note that if one doesn't try "new" or "different" products on specific applications, one may never know if that product is really the best. I've seen products used for different applications and work - surprise. Yet others haved failed, in fact many adhesives fail over time, yellow over time, crack, become brittle, cause over fusing between the glue and product where the glue was applied, AND cause health problems. So know your products used in your work. Try to get MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) information for your products in your "arsenal" (I have a huge tool kit full of various products). And remember, using one product or just a few for all your work is not smart - use the best product for the job and if it poses a health concern, protect yourself. Learn as much as you can - information provides power and a satisfactory product (artwork or other project you may be involved in). Wish this book (and its sister book) could have been more explicit on these suggestions I have provided. Yet for the beginning crafter, it is a good place to start.
 The Complete Guide to Glues and Adhesives September 9, 2004

The title of this book is a gross overstatement and highly misleading. It is in no way a complete guide to glues and adhesives. A more approiate title would be "A Craft Persons Guide to Glues and Adhesives" because thats all the book is. If you're not a craft person this book is not for you.
A Grateful Woodworker June 22, 2004
Woodworking is not all about "Titebond II," contact cement, and 5-mintue epoxy. Most of us woodworkers do not even know how and when to use them correctly. If your creative (I wish I were) there are times when art forms and mediums intersect. "The Complete Guide..." written by Ms's. Young and Ward, IS the book needed to handle this "event." Using the advice and guidelines in this book, I have been able to incorporate some very beautiful designs in box making.
