Deformation - a change in shape of objects due to physical forces acting upon them
Friction - the force that resists motion when two surfaces come into contact with each other
Common misconception
Glue guns are a better adhesive than PVA glue for timbers.
This is not always true. PVA absorbs into the timbers and creates a good bond. Glue guns may add thickness to the join.
