Glue is a bottle of all purpose adhesive. It is a repair and crafting material that lasts about five uses per bottle.
Its best known job is the Fix With Glue repair for melee weapons. It also holds together a run of Electrical builds, such as the Make Remote Controller and Make Timer recipes. The Hollow Out Book and Make Firecracker recipes need it too. The game counts it as survival gear.
Every bottle comes from looting. It is found in carpenter workshops, art stores, classrooms and many homes. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Fix With Glue is the common repair. It takes two uses of Glue and restores condition on the weapons that accept a glue repair. No skill or station is needed.
Electrical work leans on it. Make Remote Controller (Short-Range), (Medium-Range) and (Long-Range) each take two uses of Glue. They also need a TV Remote, Cordless Phone or Pager, and Scrap Electronics. The skill needed rises from Electrical level 2 to 4 to 6. Make Remote Trigger takes two uses and Electrical level 2. Make Timer takes one use and Electrical level 1. A screwdriver and pliers are kept in each.
Hollow Out Book is the hungriest recipe. It takes five uses of Glue, a book, a Straight Razor or Scalpel and a Small Brush. The result is a hollowed out Leatherbound Book or Book.
Make Firecracker takes one use with Gunpowder, Twine and a sheet of paper. Glue also counts for Make Gas Mask Filter and Recharge Filters.
