The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The use of adhesives offers certain advantages over other binding techniques such as sewing, mechanical fastenings, and welding.
- These include the ability to bind different materials together, the more efficient distribution of stress across a joint, the cost-effectiveness of an easily mechanized process, and greater flexibility in design.
- Disadvantages of adhesive use include decreased stability at high temperatures, relative weakness in bonding large objects with a small bonding surface area, and greater difficulty in separating objects during testing.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Adhesive article was read about 76,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
