There are a lot of different adhesives available from adhesive manufacturers. In fact, there are so many that it can be difficult to know which one to use in a given application. The choice can be made easier by classifying an adhesive by intended use or chemical type.

The strongest adhesives solidify by a chemical reaction. These also tend to generate heat during the process, sometimes getting quite hot. If you have ever performed any type of auto bodywork using plastic filler, you have experienced this type of reaction. Weaker types harden by some type of physical change.
