Subject: could a highly adhesive substance be used to form a high strength material?

I ask this because im thinking that something thats extremely sticky like byssal threads of 
mussels could possibly create strong materials through their adhesive properties. I know there is 
like industrial superglued and resins but i was thinking along the lines of biological fibres like 
byssal threads and spider silk that could form complex 3d lattice structures to create this 
strength and bulk solidity. Thank you for any input.
