Best Answer

"Ditch" means "get rid of" or "throw away" (literally "drop it in a ditch"). It is used casually of things: "Ditch the bags" or of people "He ditched me and went out with his mates".

He isn't suggesting you actually throw away your glue, but that you don't use it for this job (presumably glue isn't strong enough)
