Solvent based glues are a mixture of polymer based ingredients mixed with solvent. Once the glue is applied and the solvent is exposed to air, the solvent begins to evaporate until cured when the bond is at its strongest. The bond is more of an industrial bond and once applied is difficult to break unless a chemical such as acetone is used. Solvent based glues are very unforgiving and also more harmful to the environment and so care must be taken during disposal.
