Can I bring glue in my hand luggage?
Yes, in Europe (EU) glue is generally allowed in hand luggage, but only if it is NOT highly flammable glue. For all glues such as glue sticks, wood glues, white glues, etc., the regulations for liquids in hand luggage in accordance with EU regulations must also be observed. Your glue must not hold more than 100 ml and must be stowed in the bag for liquids in order to be transported in hand luggage.
How do I know if my glue is (highly) flammable?
There is a danger symbol for “flammability”. Look on your glue to see if you can find one and also read the text on the glue. If you find any indications that the glue is highly flammable, you should refrain from transporting it in your hand luggage.
Even if you do not find such a symbol on the glue, it may be that the glue is classified as a dangerous object by security personnel (due to this property) and confiscated at the security checkpoint. In the end, security personnel always have the last word at the security checkpoint.
