AnswerA major component in glues and paints is one called the 'vehicle.' The vehicle is a solvent that evaporates quickly. This facilitates the application of the key components but allows the pigment or adhesive to remain behind. So you really are waiting for the paint or glue to 'dry' to obtain the final results.

Latex paints use water as the vehicle.

Oil based paints use (wait for it!) oil.

Glues usually use water, but some have other fast evaporating items.

J:

it dependeds on where you plan on applying the glue. I tried to glue my sons mouth shut and the glue never cured. however i paint him white all the time and it sticks just fine.
