Crossword Genius

Have side mended with glue (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adhesive

'glue' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'have side mended' is the wordplay.
'mended' indicates anagramming the letters.
'have'+'side'='haveside'
'haveside' is an anagram of 'ADHESIVE'.

'with' is the link.

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