Methods of Joining Materials - JSS1 Basic technology Lesson Note

Joining materials involves various methods, each suited to different types of materials and applications.

• Glueing: This method involves applying adhesive substances to the surfaces of materials, bonding them together permanently once the adhesive dries. Glueing is ideal for joining materials like wood, paper, and certain plastics.a
• Nailing: Nailing involves driving nails or fasteners through the materials to hold them together securely. This method is commonly used for joining wooden components and framing structures.c
