For help in picking the appropriate glue for your craft project, This to That has it all.

You simply choose the material (metal, leather, glass, etc.) that you’re attaching to your canvas (paper, plastic, rubber, etc.).

This to That will give you brand name glue suggestions with links and further tips.

Thanks to Eileen for telling me about the site.
