Adhesive

This is considered one of the most valuable components as it is used in weapon, armor, and clothing mods.

Scrap Source

This crafting component can be extracted by scrapping the following items. The colored materials have more yield and should be prioritized when collecting.

Locations

The following merchants sell this component in shipments:

• Daisy, Goodneighbor
• Penny Fitzgerald, Covenant
• Trashcan Carla, travelling merchant that stops by Sanctuary.
• Myrna, Diamond City market (during the day)

It's not recommended to spend caps to buy shipments of adhesive as it is quite expensive and impractical. The best way to get adhesives will be crafting Vegetable Starch which yields 5 adhesives per piece. Vegetable Starch only requires the following ingredients:

• Corn x3
• Mutfruit x3
• Tato x3
• Purified Water x1

These items can be easily produced in settlements with farming land and Water purifier installed. On top of being a renewable source of raw materials, crafting it will also give you free experience.
