  19. This to That --- This has to be one of the most interesting applications we've seen on the net. We wish we'd have thought of it ourselves. This simple site allows you to input 2 simple multiple choice parameters...One is a "This" and one is a "That" meaning, I want to glue "This" to "That". It then comes back with a quick response telling you the best method in which to do so. For example, we wanted to glue "Paper" to "Leather" it gave us the following reply ~ 
    We recommend:
    3M 77 - A less toxic alternative is: Sobo or Rhoplex - But it would make the paper wrinkle. For a non-toxic and absolutely wrinkle free result, we recommend: Yamato Sticking Paste. All of these answers come with links to pages with detailed information on the products mentioned. Visit: http://www.thistothat.com/
