Who told you that, and did they quote a rule from the current manual? Adhesives are allowed (and glue is certainly an adhesive), provided that they: 1) are not used as traction devices (<R32>, last sentence); 2) follow <R33> rules on tape (labelling and insulating purposes only); and 3) are accounted for costwise if they are over $1. (Oh, and incidentally, you are using PVC. <R13> has details.) If you are still unsure--Q&A it.
