## 🧑‍🔬 How to Make the Glue

### Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a small saucepan, combine the flour and sugar.

### Step 2: Add Liquids

Slowly stir in the water, vinegar, and corn syrup. Mix until smooth—no lumps!

### Step 3: Cook It

Place the pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and forms a paste-like consistency (about 3–5 minutes).

### Step 4: Cool and Store

Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool. Pour the glue into a small jar or squeeze bottle. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

## 🔧 Why It Works So Well

This glue gets its impressive strength from the **natural bonding power of starch and sugar**, which create a tough, flexible adhesive when cooked. Vinegar helps preserve it and slightly lowers the pH for better shelf life.

**Bonus**: Unlike commercial super glues, this homemade version doesn’t become brittle and works well on porous materials like wood, paper, cardboard, fabric, and even light ceramics.

## 🧩 Best Uses

* **Crafts and DIY projects** (especially with kids!)

## ⚠️ A Few Limitations

While impressively strong for many applications, this glue is **not waterproof** and isn’t meant for heavy-duty repairs (e.g., broken plastic or metal). For those, you’ll still want to use epoxy or cyanoacrylate glue.

## 💡 Pro Tips

* Add a few drops of essential oil (like clove or tea tree) to extend shelf life.
* Warm the glue slightly before use for easier spreading.
* Store in a squeezable bottle for easy application.
