I haven't read ALL the prep lists, but of those that I have, I've yet to see adhesives, glues, etc. If the BF flag goes up it will probably be difficult to replace broken items. I normally try to mend items before replacement anyways. Plus they're indispensable for some of the DIY projects.
Here's a few I have:
Super
Gorilla
Carpenter
Shoo-Goo
Silicon
Marine 5200
Rubber cement
Epoxy
Aerosol spray
Weatherstripping
Nail Bond
Hot sticks for glue gun (assuming power)
In a different class, I always make sure I have an assortment of sticky-back Velcro.
ETA JB Weld
Double back tape
Duct tape Thanks survivor!
 Tuck tape Electrical tape PowerStick Thanks gilmor!

Since we're in a 'repair mode' I guess we can go a step further and include fasterners...
Nails
Wood screws
Sheet metal screws
Bolts
Nuts
Washers Brads
Snaps
Rivets*
*I enjoy using rivets with sheet metal repairs/projects. You can purchase a comprehensive heavy duty kit reasonably with a little shopping. DO NOT get the $3.99 bin specials.
ETA dowels
sewing needles/thread - thanks survivor

I must admit that glue making is not on my list. By the time I get to that point I'll be swinging from the chandeliers, if not the jungle vines! 
Speaking of vines, let's kick this adhesive/fastener can down the road a little further.
Binding with twine, rope, wire, leather, Ty-Raps and even some types of vines can be considered 'fastening'.
NOTE: If you're binding with any non-metallic/non-plastic material, be sure to wet/dampen the material you're using. Wrap/bind tightly. When the material dries it will shrink, thus providing a more secure bond. ------------- Survival does have an 'I'! Dodging 'canes on Florida's central Gulf Coast |

PowerStick, The Ultimate Adhesive Sealant (their words, but I agree 100%) made by Powers Fasteners Inc.
This stuff is excellent. Don't know if it is available at the "big box" stores (google it). . . I've glued cement blocks together, carpet to a curved piece of steel, large planters to paver stones, etc. Comes in a tube, like caulk. I always have a tube at the ready, but didn't even think of the adhesive / fastener catagory when prepping. . . GOOD catch, 2ifbyC .

I would put WD-40 in the POL (Petroleum, Oils & Lubricants) category. I agree that it does have its place in your preps! ------------- Survival does have an 'I'! Dodging 'canes on Florida's central Gulf Coast |
