Adhesive (Fallout 4)

Adhesive is a crafting component in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.

Characteristics
A sticky substance used for binding objects together. Adhesive is an uncommon but valuable component, and is required for nearly every modification for weapons, armor, and robots.

Locations
Adhesive is almost never found in its pure form in the world. As such, when one is attempting to search for adhesive, it is advised to search for the items which break down to adhesive such as duct tape and glue instead of the raw material.
 * Adhesive products are often found in red tool boxes and tool chests scattered throughout the world.
 * An easy repeatable source is Bedford Station which has at least 3 guaranteed pieces of adhesive and respawns immediately after you leave.
 * Shipments of 25 units of adhesive can be purchased from the following merchants:
 * Brother Ogden in the Crater of Atom.
 * Daisy in Goodneighbor though not always.
 * Penny Fitzgerald in Covenant.
 * Myrna in Diamond City market.
 * Sister Mai at the Nucleus.
 * Cog at Acadia.

The base price for a shipment (25) is 1000 caps, equating to 40 caps per adhesive. For comparison, duct tape (1 adhesive) is 12 caps, and wonderglue (2) is 20 caps, making it four times as expensive simply for convenience. One such way (see below) is to craft vegetable starch within the settlements by farming all of its requirements and crafting it personally at a cooking station.
