Adhesive is only used for some kind of manufacturing (SMD on wave
- mostly obsolete - and two side processing without differentiated
melting point). Size depends on the specifics of the adhesive and on the
weight of the component, so AFAIK there is no standard.

I'd leave it out of the standard library, it's a very specialized
feature. Never had to use glue in my life:P
