'glue provided' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'hide vase cracked' is the wordplay.
'cracked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hide'+'vase'='hidevase'
'hidevase' anagrammed gives 'ADHESIVE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adhesive that I've seen before include "Binding" , "very clingy" , "Sticky; glue" , "Tending to stick" , "It sticks things together" .)
