In daily life, glue is often used, such as shoe degumming, things being damaged, pasting couplets, sticking decorations, etc.
When glue is needed, many people's first instinct is to go to the store to buy it. However, for various reasons, there is no way to buy glue for the time being, in fact, glue does not need to be purchased, we use several common items at home, we can make "universal glue", which is more practical than 502 glue. It saves money and is environmentally friendly.
1. Prepare materials
We need to prepare toothpaste, dish soap, flour, and warm water, these 4 items are all common in daily life, and basically every household will have them.
Second, the specific operation
1. Squeeze the toothpaste
We squeeze a long piece of toothpaste into the bowl, preferably the white one. If the toothpaste has a color, the glue will also have a color. In addition, the white toothpaste will be more viscous.
2. Add dish soap
Once the toothpaste is squeezed, add some dish soap to it. The amount of dish soap is slightly more than that of toothpaste. Dish soap is a thick liquid that can increase viscosity.
3. Add flour
Then scoop a spoonful of flour into it, which can also increase the stickiness when the flour is wet.
4. Pour in warm water
Add toothpaste, dish soap, and flour, and pour an appropriate amount of warm water into it. Don't have too much lukewarm water to keep the mixture thick, otherwise it will make the viscosity worse.
5. Stir thoroughly
Once the water is poured in, you can stir it with a spoon or chopsticks. Stir the toothpaste, dish soap, flour and warm water mixture well enough to dissolve them together.
If it's too thick, add a little more lukewarm water. Stir it into a paste and take on a brushed state, which is considered complete.
Third, the test effect
After the glue is made, let's test the effect. Take 2 paper cups and apply the freshly made glue evenly on one side of one of the cups.
Then put another paper cup on it, and after gluing it, press it with your hand for about 30 seconds to make them firmer.
Then set the paper cups aside and wait for the glue to air dry. If you feel that the speed is too slow, you can use a fan or hair dryer to speed up the drying speed of the glue.
Once the glue is dry, the two cups will stick together so firmly that they can't be separated even if you pull hard.
Summary at the end of the article
Everyone should know that the 502 and all-purpose glue you buy will have a pungent smell. Because, it contains some chemical ingredients that will have an impact on human health.
We make our own glue from toothpaste, dish soap, flour, warm water, and more. Not only is it easy to operate, but it is also natural and pollution-free, and there is no peculiar smell, so you can use it with confidence. Especially when children do handicrafts, or paste blessing characters and couplets at home, it can just come in handy.
