The Adhesives and Glues Every Prepper Needs

The Adhesives and Glues Every Prepper Needs

Last Updated: January 17, 2020 By Cheeky Team Member

It’s great to have a multitude of different gluing agents lying around for home projects, but not all glues are created equal. Super glue is a great sealant but don’t expect it to hold long term. There are even people who have used super glue to seal a wound temporarily, or if you have a seem rip in a tent then it would be useful. Flooring projects almost always require heavy duty glues like caulking agents. A hot glue gun might be good for crafting but it is of no use for heavy duty home projects or in places where there isn’t any electricity.

Key Takeaways:

  • For preppers, it is better to buy quality name brands than to try to save a few bucks on something less reliable.
  • A big jug of Elmer’s is a good choice for light adhesion, but hot glue guns are problematic because they require electricity.
  • Strong adhesives that may be useful include Goop, Shoe Goo, Loctite and Liquid Nails.

“Some people have even used Super Glue for emergency wound closure.”
