How do sticky grenades work?

Even as it was first introduced, the Sticky Bomb was considered as dangerous to the solider using it as it was to the enemy. Designed as a portable anti-tank device, the Sticky Bomb was an explosive charge, separated from a thick, sticky glue by a thin glass sphere, and all contained in a slightly thicker glass casing with a milled handle containing a five second fuse.
The idea was that when confronted by a tank, a solider could either pull two attached rings and toss the bomb at the tank. Or for insured adhesion, pull a safety ring first then and by holding the handle, smash the outer casing against the tank, then pull the fuse pin.
