Cannot be done, for most definitions of "glue".

Some contact adhesives will stick to it, but that is not "gluing" per
se.

Sure is;adhesion using contact adhesives -is- "gluing".

What's YOUR definition of "gluing"?

Bonding with a gluey substance, gluey = viscous. Flowable adhesive that
can produce a gap-filling, liquid- or gas-tight bond.


How can you define "gluing" as "bonding with a GLUEY substance"?
You're using the term (glue) to define itself.It doesn't work that way.

More accurately,it could be "bonding with a sticky substance or
'adhesive'.",and contact adhesives are sticky.
They also are "gluey",they flow,too. How do you think the contact adhesive
gets onto the object to be bonded? It either gets painted on as a liquid,or
sprayed from a can;again-liquid in aerosol form.

It doesn't have to be "gap-filling",either.It just has to adhere between
contact points.
