This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

hot glue or super glue? I mean super glue has super in the name

Welding is just extreme hot glue, the hottest glue

You will trigger a lot of people if you say that welding is gluing

It is gluing, but it helps that the glue is hot enough to also melt the glued materials a little bit.

Soldering and brazing really are pretty much gluing, though. Fancy hot glue metal with fine tuned properties for penetration and beading.

The glue is the melted metal of the pieces being glued.

Almost never.

You can do it but usually you feed in wire or a rod.

Any type of glue is fine. Just stay away from the cardboard derivatives.

And if the wings should fail, unlikely as that may be, do be a dear and try to steer it away from the environment.
