gluer

One who bonds

A gluer is a person or machine that applies glue.

In manufacturing, gluers are industrial machines that apply adhesive to packaging, bookbinding, or assembly lines: The carton gluer runs twenty-four hours a day.

A person who glues things professionally—in woodworking, crafts, or factory work—may also be called a gluer.
