Thanks Mamya, i actually came up with Croquette, but i thought that referred to the game with balls and hoops and dismissed it lol.
Anyway maybe u can help me with the last clue i am stuck on:
106D Adhesive (5) G?A?R or G?O?R
The 3rd letter is the 1st letter to the answer to 112A Range (5) which i think is either AMBIT or ORBIT. I dont think 106D is GLUER because the grammar of it would be wrong.

Oops, sorry Bryan
Read your '3rd letter is the 1st letter' incorrectly - could range be mount?

Are you sure about GLAIR? Because i am sceptical that egg white being an adhesive. Gummy is out because the last letter is R not Y (Rm is from 116A Strong coffee (8) ESPRESSO from which the 4th letter 'R' is the last letter of 106D.

Glair is correct - it is defined in Chambers as "the clear part of an egg used as a varnish or adhesive"
