TIL super glue is a $50 billion industry
Glue, sealants and adhesives in general are a massive part of the worldwide chemical industry and used in bulk by practically every single manufacturing process… it’s kind of wild how much of modern technology is basically dependent on “haha funny organic chemical be stickyyyyy”
I got like five bottles of the stuff laying around my house.
By the time you need them they’ll all be dry and you’ll go buy five more. Like a chump.
They’ve played us for fools.
Not sure if this is helpful, but I’ve been using the gel gorilla glue version of super glue for a few years and I haven’t had any that dried out (yet).
Moisture activated. Needs exposure to air to cure, so it can’t actually “dry out” in the normal sense.
Gorilla products are top of the line in every way, every product. Now that I’m broke I can’t buy their shit anymore, but it’s well worth the $.
Be careful with this shit, or you might find yourself in a sticky situation.
My wife: how’s that new glue?
Me: 👌
👏
🤦♂️ It’s not a “super glue”. It’s a “super” glue.
This doesn’t appear to compete with cyanoacrylate (yet); they created a hot-melt stick and compared it against a commercially available hot-melt stick .
I’m still excited then because I’d love a more versatile hot glue.
Oh. So am I! I didn’t mean to sound dismissive of it. I was just frustrated by the articles title because it is a different application (both method and use-case) than “super glue”.
It better be named sovereign glue.
Ok first of $50 billion! Second… Fuck what else is there except to see a YouTube of someone super glue their asshole with this new stuff and why he, because it will be a dumb guy unfortunately, needs us to donate to his gofundme for an asshole transplant
