I believe the answer is:

resin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'something gluey' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'rinse misguidedly' is the wordplay.
'misguidedly' indicates an anagram.
'rinse' anagrammed gives 'RESIN'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resin that I've seen before include "Sap product" , "Viscous fluid from tree sap" , "Sticky stuff oozing from trees" , "Myrrh, for instance" , "Origin of amber" .)
