Crossword Genius

Had sieve fixed with glue (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adhesive

'glue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'had sieve fixed' is the wordplay.
'fixed' is an anagram indicator.
'had'+'sieve'='hadsieve'
'hadsieve' with letters rearranged gives 'ADHESIVE'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for adhesive that I've seen before include "Substance that sticks" , "It sticks things together" , "doing some bonding" , "Binding" , "Stuff that sticks" .)
