Abstract
We describe a physical mechanism for creating multi-soliton bound states where solitons are glued together by attraction between the beams they guide, `solitonic gluons'. We verify the concept of the solitonic gluons experimentally, observing a suppression of the repulsion between dark solitons due to an attractive force between bright guided beams.
