Okay, flist. I need something in science that's clingy to use as an analogy. As in, she clung to him like.... My character is smart and a soil scientist, so even obscure things are okay.

I used to think I was smart and I'm definitely not a soil scientist, so I need your help!

water to clay?

Clay particles are small and therefore clay has a lot of surface area for water to stick to; it's how it holds water so well.

pond scum. Maybe not deeply scientific but it is very clingy and a soil scientist would have spent a lot of time in the field.

Lichen? Fungus?

Duct tape. I know it's sticky and not clingy, but the visual of one person being attached to another by duct tape is amusing.
