ObUsage: "Mighty Mendit is not a glue, but a flexible bonding agent..."

I think I understand the distinction being drawn here, but I don't
know if I can explain it properly. Compare the distinctions among
"soap", "detergent", and "surfactant". He seems to be using some
definition of "glue" that includes only very traditional
(protein-based?) adhesives; resins like epoxy and water-catalyzed
polymer adhesives like cyanoacrylates are presumably also excluded.

Who'd want to pay $20 for a bottle of glue? But flexible bonding
agent...

Cheap at twice the price! Plus, they will actually give you _three_ bottles
of glue, and one of them is a different kind -- or at least has a different
label. And you get to be on every direct-marketing list from now until the
heat death of the universe. Irresistible! Operators are standing by!

I haven't attempted to order this product, but offers like this often
require you to pay separate shipping and handling charges for each
"free" item. That charge returns them their cost of product, the
mailing charge, plus a significant mark-up.
