Super glue dilemma
EdwardS:
Cyanoacrylate is a self catalyzing glue that uses its own ability to make heat to cure the glue. Storing it in the freezer makes it last much longer.
I use it as a wood finish sometimes. Resealable hobby bottles always outlast those metal tubes.

I've switched to this superglue. I order it from ebay but it's available on different sites. Will H told me about it. It's cheaper per volume than buying loctite at walmart. I get the super thin and it's about the same viscosity as rubbing alcohol. You have to be careful with it. It's so thin it will run everywhere. Last night I glue some work boots back together and before I was done I had pieces of latex gloves stuck all over my boots.
mullet:
After I buy super glue and epoxy I always store it in my shop refrigerator. I haven't had that problem since I started doing that.

Eddie, these are gelled or totally solidified in the stores. I just checked again in our local grocery store and most were gelled and none were thin.

I use the Harbor freight small tubes a lot to seal my sinew wraps and cracks. It’s thin and flows nicely. I’ve had the expensive gorilla and loctite super glue gel up on me so I’m over that.
