gluelike
Resembling a bonding agent
Gluelike describes something with the sticky, viscous quality of glue—thick, adhesive, hard to separate from: a gluelike substance coated the pan, the gluelike consistency of melted cheese.
The word often suggests something unpleasantly sticky or difficult to remove.
