Super glue

Has this ever happened to you? I have been using super glue for many years and on occasion no matter what i do either using for wood or plastic It simply will not setup. I do all the typical things when using it including using the accelerator, but it simply will not work. anyone know why this happens? it does not happen all the time but i can’t figure it

Ahoy John3m. Yes, superglue frustrates me beyond belief. Thin, thick, or gel, with and without zipkicker. It can’t be depended upon to work. I believe that superglue has some magical property that can’t be explained. Perhaps it has a mind of its own. The only application that I depend upon superglue for is to fill seams. It does this well if you apply it and don’t molest it until you know its set.

Good to the last drop,my hobby shop stuff used to always go bad and not stick

Oho! Tha Gorilla!

I always get the 15 gram bottle, there’s always something to fix besides hobby stuff in this house,With three rambunctious dogs and one stuck up cat! Surprisingly, I used to swear by “Bob Smith Products” in this genre. But this product beats them all!

Big fan of Gorilla too. Having to clear tip clogs is a thing of the past. Its a superior seam filler too compared to any of the putties out there. The best part is, you can buy the stuff at any Walmart. The only problem I have had with it, as with any super glue, is that prolonged exposure to low temperatures pretty much turns the whole bottle of super glue into nice string-making material.

Anyone have any experience using vinyl acetate ethylene glues?
