I have had some experience with what you are talking about....
Thankfully, those experiences were several decades ago, and I can't remember what was gluing the party detritus together, (and really don't want to, frankly)(for that matter, I don't know if it was even a clear substance, but I digress), and those type of constructs are best to clean up before you realize some douchebag has left a 12 oz. can full of chew spit to fester in your unconditioned apartment somewhere only to be found either when you wonder what that smell is, or your soon to be ex-girlfriend starts to develop a disgusted look when she is at your place... and you are positive it can't be your suave self.......
oh... wait... you might be talking about something else.
