glueable

Able to stick

Glueable describes something capable of being glued—a surface or material that adhesive will bond to effectively: Make sure both surfaces are clean and glueable before applying the epoxy.

Some materials like certain plastics or oily woods are notoriously difficult to glue, making their glueability a practical concern.
