Until I was about 10 years old, I used glue frequently. Then, I gradually stopped. I still use it every once in a while, but my life is very much less revolved around an arts/crafts activity.
So how about it? Do the uses of glue decrease with age? Have you still uses for it? Have computers and technology decreased the importance of glue? What types of glue are good? Do you prefer to call it 'paste'? Is it utterly useless in your life at this point? Is this the dumbest topic ever?

I know I use it less. This is a great topic. Actually I was just thinking about this the other day, believe it or not. I haven't used good old Elmer's Glue in ages. I used super glue over christmas break to repair a favorite ornamant but that was the first time in a long time. Let's hear from others!

First of all, paste and glue
are two totally different fucking things that are sticky.
I think back to my elementary school days and I remember "paste" and "glue" quite well. "Paste" was distributed in a generic white bottle accompanied by a fresh popsicle stick, "glue" always had the classic blue and yes, orange seal or logo of it's paton, Elmer's, printed on the side of the thin, tall, rectangular bottle.
I haven't used either in decades.
Super glue is some sticky shit. Last time I used it... well, it was about a year ago, and I can't remember what I was using it for, but that shit got on my fingers. Don't get Super Glue on your skin. Heed my fucking warning. That shit won't come off. Super glue is some sticky shit, and impossible to dispense properly, due to the miniature CO2 cartridge in the bottom of the little tube that makes it impossible to get the correct portion out to stick shit together. Fuck super glue. Fuck glue. Fuck Paste. Fuck any shit that sticks other shit to each other when it isn't meant to be. Emulsion is the devil.
Read my lips, I never ate paste.

I once accidentally super-glued my glasses to my face.

i use glue less too,mainly because i tend to replace broken stuff instead of repairing it.apart from that i noticed that most of the plastic used nowadays is pretty different from the plastic of the 80's and glue will not attack that good.

I was going to make some kind of joke about sniffing glue, but I guess that's already been done, so I'll give a serious answer.
I haven't used glue in a long time, which is probably good, because I always used too much. I liked it better than paste, though, which was almost impossible NOT to use too much of.
And no, I never ate paste.

That was a good'un. 
I recently found something called sewing glue.
So for all of you home-ec failures who need to hem your pants,
this is a great solution. |

Last time I used glue was last week to make my Valentine for my darling Melanie. Apart from that, I use glue as more of a repair device than an assemble device, as it was used as a child. I've fixed many a thing with superglue. As pointed out, this shit is very dangerous. I've also fixed things with a hot glue gun...wood glue as well. I have a tiny Elmers bottle and a glue stick sitting right in front of me, actually.

I used glue over Christmas to repair an ornament.
I never ate glue but I did used to smear it all over my hands just so I could pick it off in huge swaths.
Take me, break me, tell me a good one and maybe I'll cry

I only used glue in primary school after that its had little use to me.
I do have a short stort about glue though:
About 1 year ago I was sat in a friends room late at night and started messing with a pot of super glue, my friend asked me if he could glue my hand to my face, I of course said no. So instead we stuck my hands to the wooden chair I was sat on and to a pizza box. Anyway eventually we got the box off and I went home without washing my hands. I was tired so I went straight to bed. Later my nose must of being itching so I rubbed it bit. About 5 mins later my pillow and nose was wet I thought it was a bit odd that my nose was running so I looked and it was blood, I got up turned the light on and sure enough my pillow was covered in blood and it was running from my nose like a tap, it was everywhere. The end
The moral of this story is, make sure you wash your hands after playing with glue. Failing that, dont touch your nose.

Hey, do ant other English posters in their early twenties remember Goly Glue?
You could spread it over your hands and it would form a second skin which you could then peel off, great fun.
I haven't used glue much in the last 15 years or so, except the prit stick type which isn't really the same.
I never even sniffed glue in my teenage years, i progressed to the harder stuff almost straight away and missed out on glue sniffing.
Although maybe thats a good thing, i hear its quite bad for you, unless thats just govenment propaganda to stop kids having a good time! |

My brother always seemed mighty fond of assembling models, and I'm betting it was the airplane glue that was the real draw for him. Mmmm, nothing like a tube of Testers. . .
We go through a lot of glue, but that's mainly b/c of the kid. We're continually making paper chains and dioramas and junk sculptures. Other than that, I only use it when doing collage work.
What the hell is the use of mucilage? Anybody remember it? It didn't seem to do anything that plain old white glue wouldn't, but it was this ugly snot color and came in a weird rubber-tipped bottle.
Can't seem to find paste anymore--I've looked to no avail.
Superglue is often used in hospital emergency rooms to close wounds in areas that don't necessarily have to look good. My nephew got a gash in his head superglued shut last summer--I'll be my sister feels pretty stupid for even bothering to take him to the ER: "Here's some superglue. That'll be $400."

I think all glue is made from horses. Hooves, right? Anybody know? (My father refers to Jello as "horns n' hooves", but that's neither here nor there.)

Actually, mucilage comes from plants. I'm pretty sure of this. But I don't know anything about it's advantages.
