Please let me know if you'd like to see another super glue showdown video along with which brands to test. Thanks again, Todd Elmer's Super Glue: amzn.to/3la0Nxi Gorilla: amzn.to/2EhgYbn Krazy Glue: amzn.to/32biGmA Loctite: amzn.to/2EuGV6R Scotch: amzn.to/2Ehq8Vh Super Glue: amzn.to/2ErhvqS
Hey project farm love the videos you post and the testing you do. A cool video idea I have is Bungie cords. - hook strength / hook types. - stretching - weathering - flat strap vs cord - solid rubber vs fabric over elastic. - and of course cheapest to most expensive brand.
Four years later, you're still delivering fair and creative testing of products. Thank you for what you do, Todd. Your channel is truly a service to America's buying public.
He does come across as honest and I'm really impressed with how he creates really logical tests for a variety of tools/products etc. But we really don't know if he is accepting cash/donations/equipment for giving favourable reviews. It wouldn't be that hard to get away with, but in saying that I don't think he is, but a healthy dose of skepticism is important.
Store your super glues in the fridge. They'll keep much longer. Also know that by applying them cold, the working time before they bond increases, so that can be an advantage depending on what you're doing. Otherwise let it acclimate to room temp first.
I'd add that it's a really good idea to try to squeeze out as much air as you can as you put the cap on. Between that and the fridge, there's no reason you can't get many months if not a year out of a thing of super glue, if you don't find you use it that much.
This is how reviews are done for the actual people who would perform these tasks. No BS, just straight up real world application testing. This is literally where I go first for product reviews and he always has a vid made for what I want to know. Well done.
These days for me, it's a let down when I need to buy something and there's no Project Farm video to help sort the good stuff from the fluff. The world could use 12 more channels like this. Sponsorship ALWAYS blurs the lines. Support our hero!
Between Loctite and Gorilla glue, I'd say Gorilla glue has less trouble with the cap being glued on. Loctite always end up being glued when the bottle is halfway empty. I still manage to take it off by flexing it and prying it off with a flathead screwdriver, but it's sure annoying. Always wipe off the glue on the tip before putting the cap back.
Yeah, i once accidentally super glued my fingers together, but i had researched years before what to do if ever that happens.. 40°C (104°F) degrees heat would loosen it's strength, so i boiled water and kept dipping my fingers in and out because i can't resist the heat, and eventually my fingers were free.
According to its creator, super glue was used to temporarily close wounds in the Vietnam war, while the injured were being transported to hospitals for stitches.
I've had more issues with glue being dried out and unusable when needed after sitting on the shelf for several weeks (or months) after being opened and used only one time. The only glue that passed that test was Locktite. That bottle is about a year old and is still liquid and in good usable condition when I had need for it recently.
I'll try buying Loctite next time just based on that report. Superglue formulations must have changed over the years. I can remember being able to keep it around for quite some time at room temperature provided it was sealed up well. Now, it's use one drop and it's guaranteed useless next time you need it.
I have bottle of locktite that has survived for several years now. I store it standing up in a drawer where it's dry and room temperature. Very impressed that it is still usable.
Your methodology for testing is getting better all the time. Most folk who aren't scientist don't realize that setting up the parameter and determining variables takes longer than testing usually does. Your no nonsense approach is golden with simple readable results. Plus we get to evaluate the results. Perfect! Many thanks.
it would be nice if there was only one single standard of measurement and they stuck with it... but that will never happen, because they would only sell 1/2 as many tools.
Great video. I'm an artist working making sculptures out of a wide variety of materials (e.g. bone, metal, wood, ceramic, plastic, etc.), and I've found that Loctite Gel Control super glue to be the best for the diverse materials I use. E6000 is another favorite among artists, but its drying time is significantly longer, so I stick with Loctite for most small things.
I work in trades and that is also the exact same super glue I use. Amazing control & great adhesion, never have to worry about it drying. Might be pricy but worth it imo for a better finished product and for it to be working when you need it
" IN MY HUMBLE OPINION "Can never be sued for defamation because this is just testing using common tools for the consumer to use and test for yourself. Corporation's are not people,has the world gone crazy ....Glue you make the call?
Your comparative product tests are great! Thanks for doing them. They save your viewers the guesswork of selecting the best product for individual applications, You're literally saving thousands of viewers the frustrations and money wasted on purchasing garbage. I especially appreciate the lengths you go to ensure consistency in your various testing procedures. You've just earned yourself another sub. 😎 Suggested sequel, if I may: Which glues are most resistant to chemical cleaners like water, dish soap, oil, alcohol, acetone, etc.
I'm a retired H/D mechanic and machinist , loctite has been the trusted name in the industry for years, most the others are just a big advertising budget.
I'm a carpenter / general contractor and I've always trusted the Loctite brand I'm also no mechanic but I've always worked on my own vehicles and trucks and equipment. I would have to say though some of their newer products that they put their name on are surprising like their power grab cock the shit is junk I cannot even believe they would put their name on that shit so even though I do trust their brand I'm very skeptical of these days
Yep, as an appliance repair tech we use it in our industry for use with refrigeration. The Lokring tool, which uses crimp style connectors using loctite is taking place of torch brazing for sealed systems because of new butane Refrigerants the industry is switching to. Cant use torches with flammable refrigerant.
Don't often comment on these, but watch everything from this channel, and these do give us a better idea of what brands are worth buying, and say Thanks for doing them for us.
Alright... so I've watched nearly all your videos and I have to say, as someone who works for Intertek ETL testing in Plano, TX... your testing is 10x better than anything we do in our labs. Rules and regulations hamstring us from giving honest opinions outside of an engineering spec. Your testing and input have been invaluable for many people, I'm sure. Just wanted to say thanks. Wish you had some certification sticker we could toss on items that pass your review. Consumers would all win. Just an idea :)
I love the fact that this guy is doing everything he can to make this test as equal as possible,even changing out gloves when going from one super glue to the other,nice work man,keep it up.👍
Hi Project Farm, also as stated by "Computerman 21", I really appreciate not only your scientific method approach when testing various products but also your choice of "practical testing parameters" i.e. you use test methodology that matters to users like us (or most of us). As an engineer by trade, I started using your results (and testing philosophy) with my students to help them develop practical applications (in the labs) of all the engineering theory that they have to learn in college. You are a talented teacher (and you should teach); I am very impressed and admire your dedication to "finding the truth", this is what science is all about. Thank you again, Ciao, L (Pointue Farms Bioengineering).
Thank you very much for the positive comments! It means a lot receive such positive comments and motivates me to keep making videos comparing products. Thanks again!
You are welcome, that is the least we can do as you are investing a lot of creativity, ingenuity and time designing your tests - have a nice Labor Day weekend, thank you again, Ciao, L
Lancelot, you may be an engineer by trade (been there long enough so got the title), but not by education. There is no sound science behind using a sample size of 1 for anything. You are making real engineers look bad.
Mostly... should be noted that it really depends on the kind of force expected for the metal to endure... As he showed there was a different winner in each of the different metal tests...
My luck and experience is that none of the super glues work on anything I wish to stick together. They only work on gluing my fingers together (accidentally). I guess that's how "medical" super glues were discovered!
I do a lot of arrow fletching. Lock tite seems to work the best for me. It's even better than many of the expensive fletching glues on the market. Good prep is a must.
Yea they hired me to hit him but I was like no way he is cool go f yourselves and don't let me catch you doing this again or you will pushing up daisies.
Great video! A good test for supe glue in terms of value is how many uses you get out of a bottle or tube without it breaking or gunking up. I find the loctite bottles rarely give out all their glue in practice.
Some interesting methodologies. Loc-tite specifically makes some very specific products that are meant to bond different types of materials together; ie plastic to metal, metal to metal, etc. It would be interesting to see if these products have true advantages over the basic 'super glue'. Thanks as always for all of your work. It is nice to watch your channel go from clearing brush to all of this. Congrats.
I think your mixed results on the metal are indicative of small sample size. As you said, surface prep is everything, and though you did a good job of controlling it there is always an element of randomness to adhesive strength testing that calls for a high sample size. You will never know what might have been an outlier until you run the test multiple times. In the case of the Loctite on plastic that big of a difference might be a pretty clear indication but it would be worth running that one sample again just to verify it is always that strong.
Sam .. Exactly! ..and better said than I would have. These tests seem well done with a "fun" spirit to them, … so maybe asking a semi-amateur "consumer reports" guy to do a LOT of "lab work" would feel tedious, but even a sample size of 3 for each example would improve result values..
If you have a problem with how thorough he is, try watching hobby ladies do reviews on their craft products. 20 minutes later you still have no idea, and all the ladies in the comments just tell you to buy the most expensive one and stop asking questions. For a free view, this is more than I expect.
True, although these are are DIY kind of scientific tests, neither completely amateur nor laboratory-level. Otherwise, it's possible that they wouldn't have become popular (if they were "too sophisticated")...
i know by experience that locktite(my go to brand) doesnt work on steel to glass on a mirror.i have also tried another brand at the time and didnt work for long either.i am a ford tech of 20 years and just decided to try it instead of the made for it regular glue.my advice,regular glue wins.my 2 cents
Thanks rooster. All "rear view" mirror glues eventually fail. Just tying to figure out the best. Also if I use a plastic nub instead of a metal nub, it may hold longer with a certain type of glue ( plastic on glass), until the plastic nub breaks...
I know this video is four years old…. And it’s not the first time I comment. I needed super glue….. I went straight to you. You are exceptional in your tests . Really you are amazing. You must be an engineer born with an amazing intelligence. I love your channel. Thank you for your in-depth reviews . Cheers from Quebec, Canada.
Caution when buying "The Original" Super Glue: It gets hard inside the sealed tube!! I thought I was being frugal and purchased a 12 pack when it was on sale. After about a year, I pulled out one to use it and it was hard. "Pin hole in the tube, maybe manufacturing defect" I thought. I checked the rest of them, and they were all hard. I checked each tube, and there were actually two different lot numbers mixed in the multi-pack, so no manufacturing defect. I contacted SuperGlue and they told me that they only warranty the glue for 1 year from date of manufacture. Live and learn. I went a bought some Loctite. At least I know that it's not going to get hard in the tube before I even open it!
All CA glue has a shelf life. There's one made by Titebond that supposedly has an extended storage life. You can store any CA glue in your freezer to extend its storage life. You need to allow the glue to warm up to room temperature before you use it. Can't put it back into the freezer either.
Locite cures in the absence of air and bottle cycles air through it even with it on, so even though they have they a self life of a year, they'll still be good to go for a very long time. Loctite is def the way to go
Gorilla Glue is very similar, they could reseal and create a vacuum at the same time but, that would probably cut into their sales that is why I no longer buy the large size, but the smallest size available. Loctite and 3M set the standards for other companies to follow!
*Would be nice if you could put up a spreadsheet with the different names on left and results in graph or number for each category. GREAT VIDEO THO!* 👍👍👌
Project Farm *My pleasure. Posting something like that at the end ould save you from having to point out which product did the best, and you could leave it up to the viewer to decide for themselves which one came out on top, or in thus case which one worked best for a specific application. Some might one that holds plastic better, while others might be more interested in metal.* *Putting a spreadsheet at the End of the video showing how each product did side by side for each application that you tested for would be a big help to us flunkies out here in InternetLand...🤔🤔😩* *And thanks for doing these vids. I always find them both entertaining and informative. I also appreciate your thinking on the fly and doing your inventive ways to do the tests and or modify equipment in order to accomplish them. Pretty darn cool guy... Looks like you have fun doing them too... couldn't ask for anything more in doing a job on line. Lucky S.O.B.! Just a wee bit jealous here...lol Keep up the great work. Peace...* 😎
Blox117 Not when the only computer I have to write with is my Galaxy 6 phone. So, no, I don't think it is. Thanks for the input tho. Have a warm week if you can... it's freezing here!
You are on the right track, my friend! Your videos are entertaining the way the old mythbusters used to be, before it became pointless to watch them. Keep up the good work!
Cesar Perez Right. I hate to say it but less and less producers on UA-cam make proper good content like this channel. He well deserves my sub, likes and views!
Yeah man, great testing vid with very interesting results. Have to say loctite wone, even with a straight average that last pic score. Is just to much of a victory. With good showings in all other tests.
In the reef tank hobby we often use super glue to attach coral to rock and cement plugs and other stuff. Many times we put a big glob of super glue then attach the coral/object then pour baking soda on top to make it set super fast. It's supposed to make it a lot stronger too. Maybe something to consider if another super glue video is done. I don't know if it's relevant lol
I use Loctite for assembling Warhammer 40k models, and it's the one that consistently fails to fail. All the others have occasionally had joints fail in hinky ways.
The results certainly are all over the place. From a scientific standpoint I am skeptical. I think for tests like these, more samples are very necessary.
The place I used to work we used quite a lot of theese CA glues, we mostly used different types of loctite 401, 406, 435 some 3M branded stuff and few other, but there were just theese 1 part out of 50 that failed for no obvious reason. So if you only make 1 test for each glue it might just be the one that failed. So I just say there are some variables in gluing that sometimes the glue fails.
Another thing about superglue is that some brands lose their strength very quickly over time. Something that would be very difficult to test. But using superglue since it first came out, it is something I've noticed.
I think the winner it's clearly Loctite that's the one I use stuff to bonds in seconds. Are use it on nylon mostly for professional radio control trucks Traxxas xmaxx . As usual Todd excellent editing time lapse videos and good music thank you for your time. Mike General repair
Always bought loctite, considering I usually use it on plastics, seems like I stumbled into a good choice. Also I don’t mean to be presumptuous but Naptha(usually sold alongside paint supplies) works great to clean plastics, used it for years in guitar repair work(is safe for all the finishes, while alcohol dissolves some types) eats through grease and oil well too
Great Channel. Always look at his videos before I buy. Video Ideas! 1) Spray adhesives including basting spray 2) Mounting adhesives, tape and putty 3) Strapping tape. And then best strapping tape vs best duct tape Numbers 1 and 2 might be harder to do since there are lots of different types of material that can be used.
There's a special cement for plastic if thats your application. I buy it on Ebay. Loctite Super Glue Plastics Bonding System with Activator 2-Gram (681925)
My observation says to get the Loctite for most jobs around the house. I have some original which is fine for small jobs, but next time I'll get Loctite for my own personal needs. I would like to know: what is the best rubber glue/cement?
I think for the twisting sheer of the bolts, you could of used the hanging scale off of a bar/socket. Then pull on the scale till failure. That would give you exactly the Nm of force needed to break instead of using the torque wrench in 5lb/ft increments. But, the torque wrench did show good results ;)
@Dgstowe that's not right. The weight of a torque ratchet isn't suspect is it when you're using it, is it? Even if it changed the real number slightly it'd change the real no. by the same small amount for each test so it'd be a controlled variable.
@Dgstowe it's all good. I talk in comments to learn and be taught when I didn't know something either. I also comment hoping people will check out my UA-cam channel. Lol Automotive repair generally..sometimes motorcycles and upgrades.
I've been repairing broken plastic toys for years as a hobby. I've always used Loctite superglue just because it was what was on the shelves. People told me Gorilla glue was better, so I tried that for a while, but realized it actually wasn't as good as the Loctite. Now I see, thanks to your testing, that my cheap Loctite glue was the best for what I was using it for all along!
The truly impressive part of all of this is how you come up with your testing procedures. They are very well designed. The only thing that could be improved upon is the sampling size. The greater the sample pool the more accurate the results will be. Cyanoacrylate is a fairly basic compound and I'm not convinced that any one of the glues tested are really any better than the others. As always absolutely great testing Todd. Keep up the good work 👍
Remember that some types of gasket sealant works best if applied in a thin layer first and let it harden a while until it goes gooey and then mount it, then it is under more tension
lb force and newtons are just different units just like inches and cm. As an engineer, I see no reason why newtons would be anything other than a personal preference in any situation.
I agree, but it's also possible that his scale gives better resolution in newtons versus pounds force. For instance if it only outputs in 0.5 lbf increments or greater.
I agree. Honestly, I would say it's better to measure in pounds simply because the majority if the viewers recognize it more as a standard and can gauge how much force is applied vs newton's that only people in specific fields use and recognize. Sure it can be more accurate but if the information doesn't make it across that mental conversion threshold, then it's useless.
Seriously impressed with each test you used. Was a cabinet maker for close to 35 years. So, maybe add wood for testing. Thanks so much for this type of video!
I use to turn ink pens on a lathe where all the parts had to be pressed and sometimes super glued. The cheap dollar store glue worked better than any of the name brands it seemed like. Also for some reason super glue seemed to lose it's strength over time after opening it even if it was sealed back up.
In agreement that, in general, Loctite beat other brands, though not by much due to its performance on the first two tests. Hoping you'll revisit this with gel type vs. standard for tensile strength using N meter between bolt and your tractor!
First of all, I love your channel! I am in an occupation where I've used a LOT of CA adhesives, so this topic interests me greatly. LocTite/Henkel and 3M have ALWAYS been superior in the adhesive industry, but in a pinch, good ol' Super Glue is pretty damn good! I'd love to see you expand into other e.g. Bob Smith Industries, Satellite, etc., as well as gap-filling varieties. Keep up the good work!
As usual, a great video. I will give you a quick anecdote: When I was about 11 years old I lived in Illinois. My father used to take me to a small diner that looked like a railroad car. The food was always excellent. Best bacon cheeseburgers in the mid west!! One day our usual waitress was not there. The woman that took her place was LOUSY at service. My dad was always a very good tipper. At that time he was a vice president for Caterpillar tractor company. Since the service was so bad, he took a quarter out, and also a small tube. He put a small amount on the quarter, pressed it on the table and sat his coffee cup on it. (To give it heat he said.) We then left. Roughly 9 months later, we went back. The quarter was still there. They had tried to get it off, no luck. When I got older, I left Illinois and moved to Kentucky. I went home to visit my dad, and he suggested we go to the diner as the city was going to tear it down in a month or so for more parking space. I agreed. 22 years later, THAT QUARTER WAS STILL THERE!!! They gouged the hell out of that table trying to get it off. No luck at all. One of my favorite memories growing up. Best wishes.
Star bond and bob smith are two brands used by r/c modelers for construction and repair. Storage temperature and length of time after manufacture when sold will affect bond strength. That aside, all of your test videos are valuable well thought out and appreciated
He is a true one-man Consumer Reports! And he puts a lot of thought and common sense into how he does his testing. Someone should give him a fully equipped research lab so he can rise to world class.
Old video but I was interested because of the claims that the relatively new on the market Flex Super Glue so I searched your channel. Again, you did not disappoint. Good job!
I absolutely LOVE your videos. I have an insatiable thirst for learning, and I can't thank you enough for being the one source I can always rely on to explain the testing processes you use, and why. You remain unbiased, give us the facts and only the facts, combined with walking us through each step you take using both audio and visual teaching methods, for us kinesthetic learners. You are truly a breath of fresh for those who crave "give it to me straight" fact based proven answers to questions everyone has pondered at some point in their lives. It's become pointless to try and make educated product decisions based of reviews anymore, for the same reason it's nearly impossible to find real, unbiased, fact based information about anything online. The world wide web as the endless source of true knowledge at our fingertips is gone. Replaced by a world where EVERYTHING is now for sale. 😔🌐💔
@@ProjectFarm I just came to say that your reply’s to comments from your videos that you posted years ago shows your commitment to you’re viewers. I watch many different types of videos and most content creators don’t bother to reply to their comments after a hour of posting.
As numerous others have stated, I too found your test preparation, execution and presentation absolutely outstanding!!! Based on your findings, I created a grid and averaged the results. Overall, after factoring in the cost per gram, Loctite appears to edge out the other brands.
Thank you for doing this, Greg. We all know the intense work that it takes in designing, setting up, filming, and concluding analyses of these products; including the presentation work with the graphs and charts. Therefore, having someone helping in creating comparative grids to report the findings is a great way to help Project Farm in his endeavor to keep unbiased testing alive. Glad to see you both working as a team like that.
@@risajajr My conclusion is that each test needed a sample size of more than 1 per adhesive, tbh. Maybe it'll get revisited? The sample size was a big problem but the methodology was great, I thought.
I would like to thank you for all you do. The time and financial burden you must have invested in all these projects for our benefit. Thank you so much. As a estate owner and owner of equipment it is great to see real world tests and not bs or "rumor". Thank you.
@@ProjectFarm You do more for the American consumer and property owner than all of congress. With all the "global" products people like you are more important than ever to ensure we are not wasting our hard earned money. Can't thank you enough.
Would love to see an update and thanks for all the great videos, they have really helped me make informed choices. CA tips: CA glue does not stick to polyethylene gloves. These are the clear, flat ones that look and fit like mittens Baking soda does not make a good CA glue accelerator. You need an amine based spray for this and accelerators really work well. Test it! Store CA glue in the refrigerator for longer life
I needed to find a different super glue for a project I was working on and instantly thought of you 😎 Knowing you'd have a super helpful testing video I could watch 👍 thanks for all your time, dedication and bringing valuable content to UA-cam ▶️
Very nice job of designing and conducting the tests! Thank you! One suggestion would be to put together a composite chart of all the results and show that at the end of the video.
TRUST CHRIST OR GO TO HELL lol holy crap Anyways silicone 'personal' lube as oil would be interesting. Dot 5 brake fluid is silicone based. Wonder how it would behave.
As stupid and trolly as this sounds it is a great idea that will generate a lot of views! And the best part is how professionally it will be handled. :)
Another great video with honest comparison. Kinda looks like Loctite might be best overall. Thank you for all the effort you put into these tests, they are very useful! A suggestion for future a future episode might be to test the efficiency of the various camp coolers that are available these days. Walmart, Yeti, or somewhere in between.
A bit late to the party here, but I'd love to see a comparison of CA products with wood, especially with accelerants. This combination seems to be super popular on woodworking channels. Also, I agree with the comments that larger sample sets would be much more accurate. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I’m convinced locktite is the best for the money! I have used it for almost everything! And I’ve been more than satisfied with the results! Thank you for the comprehensive testing!👌😎👍
Thank you so much. I’ve been dumbfounded at price increases in adhesives and epoxies, not to mention cleaning solvents. I’m a JB Weld man all the way, but I’m glad to see the price is competitive. Wget original super glue for a dollar at the Dollar Tree for ……. A dollar. Now I know why, but still useful for my smaller repairs that don’t justify spending $7 at Home Depot.
Wow. I came in thinking "cool, let's see a guy break a couple things to test a couple super glue brands in a totally unscientific way..." and discovered a great video! Thanks a lot!
:) you always make yourself so much work for us. thanks very much. your tests really are usefull and not some spacy useless stuff you can see on other channels
Superglue is more English... i think - Krazy glue is more Canada/ or America I think... I only say cause I went to Canada... in canada I found no one knows what super glue is.. they said oh you want Crazy glue! What is super glue... In england we call all super glue - super glue - no matter the make is just the generic
Just want to say I really enjoy your videos and appreciate how much time/effort you put into them, but this one has some issues. The sample size is just way too small to draw useful conclusions from. If you tested each type of stress/force with 3-5 bolts each instead of just one the results would likely normalize (less difference between brands) a significant amount. The issue with a single bolt per stress type is that if the result is skewed by human error or something else there's no way to tell. I think if you repeated this test with multiple bolts per stress/force type the difference in results would be surprising. I'm by no means an expert but from an analytical standpoint using a single data point for anything is not good for precise and accurate results. Just my 2 cents on the matter.
Just started having your videos pop up in my "recommended", thoroughly enjoy them. U have a new sub. Thanks for showing these to us. Very entertaining and informative.
Please let me know if you'd like to see another super glue showdown video along with which brands to test. Thanks again, Todd
Elmer's Super Glue: amzn.to/3la0Nxi
Gorilla: amzn.to/2EhgYbn
Krazy Glue: amzn.to/32biGmA
Loctite: amzn.to/2EuGV6R
Scotch: amzn.to/2Ehq8Vh
Super Glue: amzn.to/2ErhvqS
We use Loctite 404 at work, so I'd love to see how that compared to the Loctite you tested.
Hey project farm love the videos you post and the testing you do.
A cool video idea I have is Bungie cords.
- hook strength / hook types.
- stretching
- weathering
- flat strap vs cord
- solid rubber vs fabric over elastic.
- and of course cheapest to most expensive brand.
Q bond glue
Bob Smith superglue
I didn't see LePage in the testing. Perhaps LePage is more popular in Canada. The packaging looks / reads to be very similar to Loctite.
Four years later, you're still delivering fair and creative testing of products. Thank you for what you do, Todd. Your channel is truly a service to America's buying public.
Thanks and you are welcome!
EU as well
We got Amazon too :)
BW Bacon Well said!
Why do ya always suck pole
I’d say gorilla glue it’s especially good for hair
TOO BAD THERE WERE NO HAIR TESTS WOULDA WON HANDS DOWN
😂😂😂
MAN I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS! BAHAHAHA 🤣
You just need to be absolutely certain that's a hairstyle you want to keep for a very long time.
Too soon....
You do the fairest most honest testing I’ve seen, great stuff.
Thanks so much!
It's because he keeps bias out of it. If he finds a product that is better than the one he usually uses he's probably like dang! I'll use that now
I’m just addicted to this guy’s videos; all these tests involve products that I use.
He does come across as honest and I'm really impressed with how he creates really logical tests for a variety of tools/products etc.
But we really don't know if he is accepting cash/donations/equipment for giving favourable reviews.
It wouldn't be that hard to get away with, but in saying that I don't think he is, but a healthy dose of skepticism is important.
Store your super glues in the fridge. They'll keep much longer. Also know that by applying them cold, the working time before they bond increases, so that can be an advantage depending on what you're doing. Otherwise let it acclimate to room temp first.
Thank you!
I'd add that it's a really good idea to try to squeeze out as much air as you can as you put the cap on. Between that and the fridge, there's no reason you can't get many months if not a year out of a thing of super glue, if you don't find you use it that much.
Just need to eliminate moisture. Just keep all the silicate bags from products and put em in the jar with glue tubes.
@@inq752isn't it air that technically ruins super glue?
That can a disadvantage you meant to say right.
This is how reviews are done for the actual people who would perform these tasks. No BS, just straight up real world application testing. This is literally where I go first for product reviews and he always has a vid made for what I want to know. Well done.
Thanks so much!
Hello. 👋🙂
Everytime I need to add stuff in my workshop I'm passing by this channel. 😎
These days for me, it's a let down when I need to buy something and there's no Project Farm video to help sort the good stuff from the fluff. The world could use 12 more channels like this. Sponsorship ALWAYS blurs the lines. Support our hero!
Switched to Loctite because of this video. Cap comes off everytime and I can actually use the whole bottle.
Nice! Great product. Thank you
I used the actual super glue brand. I've had bad luck with the Loctite brand getting stuck in the cap.
Me too, loctite aswell as loctite x8, husqvarna trimmer line, LLP tape and frogtape.
Thanks Project farm...
Between Loctite and Gorilla glue, I'd say Gorilla glue has less trouble with the cap being glued on. Loctite always end up being glued when the bottle is halfway empty. I still manage to take it off by flexing it and prying it off with a flathead screwdriver, but it's sure annoying. Always wipe off the glue on the tip before putting the cap back.
Vital Information it is quite amazing that the dirt cheap superglue is actually very good
My dad bought me Loctite when I was a young kid for my models because of how fast it dries and the strength. I also learned it bonds skin very well.
lol. Yes, it does work very well on skin.
Yeah, i once accidentally super glued my fingers together, but i had researched years before what to do if ever that happens.. 40°C (104°F) degrees heat would loosen it's strength, so i boiled water and kept dipping my fingers in and out because i can't resist the heat, and eventually my fingers were free.
Slap some on your lips
Last night at a science thing at my school and I accidentally super glued my finger to a piece of balsa wood
According to its creator, super glue was used to temporarily close wounds in the Vietnam war, while the injured were being transported to hospitals for stitches.
I've had more issues with glue being dried out and unusable when needed after sitting on the shelf for several weeks (or months) after being opened and used only one time. The only glue that passed that test was Locktite. That bottle is about a year old and is still liquid and in good usable condition when I had need for it recently.
Thanks for sharing.
Trying to cap and save a tube of glue is a lost cause. You might as well count on one use or application per tube.
I am just studying this problem, apparently you should store it in the freezer in a plastic baggy to prevent air getting to it.
I'll try buying Loctite next time just based on that report. Superglue formulations must have changed over the years. I can remember being able to keep it around for quite some time at room temperature provided it was sealed up well. Now, it's use one drop and it's guaranteed useless next time you need it.
I have bottle of locktite that has survived for several years now. I store it standing up in a drawer where it's dry and room temperature. Very impressed that it is still usable.
Loctite seems to be the best bang for the buck. It won the pipe test and tensile test and was the cheapest cost.
Loctite makes a great super glue for sure.
I would says Krazy glue, you can buy it at the dollar store for $1
Caleb Turner Month late but krazy is good for only 1$
Absolutely! Loctite is the best; also best value.
Really?
I can vouch for Loctite, theres still a chunk of skin missing from one of my fingers 20 years later.
Wow! Thank you
love your humor
As funny as this is I have used loctite super glue on my hands before and have yet to have injred myself pulling it off.

Your methodology for testing is getting better all the time. Most folk who aren't scientist don't realize that setting up the parameter and determining variables takes longer than testing usually does. Your no nonsense approach is golden with simple readable results. Plus we get to evaluate the results. Perfect! Many thanks.
Thank you very much!
#SuperJamster1 Fully agree
Would be nice if he didn't use imperial though...
it would be nice if there was only one single standard of measurement and they stuck with it... but that will never happen, because they would only sell 1/2 as many tools.
That's metric, america just won't let go of imperial though...
Great video. I'm an artist working making sculptures out of a wide variety of materials (e.g. bone, metal, wood, ceramic, plastic, etc.), and I've found that Loctite Gel Control super glue to be the best for the diverse materials I use. E6000 is another favorite among artists, but its drying time is significantly longer, so I stick with Loctite for most small things.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I work in trades and that is also the exact same super glue I use. Amazing control & great adhesion, never have to worry about it drying. Might be pricy but worth it imo for a better finished product and for it to be working when you need it

I'm a retired H/D mechanic and machinist , loctite has been the trusted name in the industry for years, most the others are just a big advertising budget.
It's a great product!
I too am a retired machinist and Loctite was always our go to used a lot of bearing mount.
I'm a carpenter / general contractor and I've always trusted the Loctite brand I'm also no mechanic but I've always worked on my own vehicles and trucks and equipment. I would have to say though some of their newer products that they put their name on are surprising like their power grab cock the shit is junk I cannot even believe they would put their name on that shit so even though I do trust their brand I'm very skeptical of these days
Yep, as an appliance repair tech we use it in our industry for use with refrigeration. The Lokring tool, which uses crimp style connectors using loctite is taking place of torch brazing for sealed systems because of new butane Refrigerants the industry is switching to. Cant use torches with flammable refrigerant.

Alright... so I've watched nearly all your videos and I have to say, as someone who works for Intertek ETL testing in Plano, TX... your testing is 10x better than anything we do in our labs. Rules and regulations hamstring us from giving honest opinions outside of an engineering spec. Your testing and input have been invaluable for many people, I'm sure. Just wanted to say thanks.

Hi Project Farm, also as stated by "Computerman 21", I really appreciate not only your scientific method approach when testing various products but also your choice of "practical testing parameters" i.e. you use test methodology that matters to users like us (or most of us). As an engineer by trade, I started using your results (and testing philosophy) with my students to help them develop practical applications (in the labs) of all the engineering theory that they have to learn in college. You are a talented teacher (and you should teach); I am very impressed and admire your dedication to "finding the truth", this is what science is all about. Thank you again, Ciao, L (Pointue Farms Bioengineering).
Thank you very much for the positive comments! It means a lot receive such positive comments and motivates me to keep making videos comparing products. Thanks again!
You are welcome, that is the least we can do as you are investing a lot of creativity, ingenuity and time designing your tests - have a nice Labor Day weekend, thank you again, Ciao, L
Lancelot, you may be an engineer by trade (been there long enough so got the title), but not by education. There is no sound science behind using a sample size of 1 for anything. You are making real engineers look bad.
Ram Ram Where do you see a sample size of one?
@@garysarratt1 the pvc test
So..
Loctite for plastics
Elmer's for metal
Mostly... should be noted that it really depends on the kind of force expected for the metal to endure... As he showed there was a different winner in each of the different metal tests...
Scotch worked better for metal
Montage Central Only in 1 of the tests.
My luck and experience is that none of the super glues work on anything I wish to stick together. They only work on gluing my fingers together (accidentally). I guess that's how "medical" super glues were discovered!
If you sprinkle baking powder on super glue, it's strength increase by up to 5 times. Not joking
I do a lot of arrow fletching. Lock tite seems to work the best for me. It's even better than many of the expensive fletching glues on the market. Good prep is a must.
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestions.

Great video! A good test for supe glue in terms of value is how many uses you get out of a bottle or tube without it breaking or gunking up. I find the loctite bottles rarely give out all their glue in practice.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Some interesting methodologies. Loc-tite specifically makes some very specific products that are meant to bond different types of materials together; ie plastic to metal, metal to metal, etc. It would be interesting to see if these products have true advantages over the basic 'super glue'. Thanks as always for all of your work. It is nice to watch your channel go from clearing brush to all of this. Congrats.
Thank you for this recommendation!
I think your mixed results on the metal are indicative of small sample size. As you said, surface prep is everything, and though you did a good job of controlling it there is always an element of randomness to adhesive strength testing that calls for a high sample size. You will never know what might have been an outlier until you run the test multiple times. In the case of the Loctite on plastic that big of a difference might be a pretty clear indication but it would be worth running that one sample again just to verify it is always that strong.
Great point and thank you
Sam .. Exactly! ..and better said than I would have. These tests seem well done with a "fun" spirit to them, … so maybe asking a semi-amateur "consumer reports" guy to do a LOT of "lab work" would feel tedious, but even a sample size of 3 for each example would improve result values..
If you have a problem with how thorough he is, try watching hobby ladies do reviews on their craft products. 20 minutes later you still have no idea, and all the ladies in the comments just tell you to buy the most expensive one and stop asking questions. For a free view, this is more than I expect.
@@jaednhowlar2359
Pretty sure there are "hobby ladies" that know well their tools.
True, although these are are DIY kind of scientific tests, neither completely amateur nor laboratory-level. Otherwise, it's possible that they wouldn't have become popular (if they were "too sophisticated")...
Really impressed by loctite on plastic
It's amazing on plastic!
Except that nobody uses superglue (of any brand) when working on their sprinkler system.
How will it work on a "rearview mirror" on windshield glass?
i know by experience that locktite(my go to brand) doesnt work on steel to glass on a mirror.i have also tried another brand at the time and didnt work for long either.i am a ford tech of 20 years and just decided to try it instead of the made for it regular glue.my advice,regular glue wins.my 2 cents
Thanks rooster. All "rear view" mirror glues eventually fail. Just tying to figure out the best. Also if I use a plastic nub instead of a metal nub, it may hold longer with a certain type of glue ( plastic on glass), until the plastic nub breaks...
I know this video is four years old…. And it’s not the first time I comment. I needed super glue….. I went straight to you.

Si vous plait SHUT UP
Caution when buying "The Original" Super Glue: It gets hard inside the sealed tube!! I thought I was being frugal and purchased a 12 pack when it was on sale. After about a year, I pulled out one to use it and it was hard. "Pin hole in the tube, maybe manufacturing defect" I thought. I checked the rest of them, and they were all hard. I checked each tube, and there were actually two different lot numbers mixed in the multi-pack, so no manufacturing defect. I contacted SuperGlue and they told me that they only warranty the glue for 1 year from date of manufacture. Live and learn. I went a bought some Loctite. At least I know that it's not going to get hard in the tube before I even open it!
All CA glue has a shelf life. There's one made by Titebond that supposedly has an extended storage life. You can store any CA glue in your freezer to extend its storage life. You need to allow the glue to warm up to room temperature before you use it. Can't put it back into the freezer either.
Locite cures in the absence of air and bottle cycles air through it even with it on, so even though they have they a self life of a year, they'll still be good to go for a very long time. Loctite is def the way to go
Jesus Jim you must have a lot of time on your hands , get a hobby
Gorilla Glue is very similar, they could reseal and create a vacuum at the same time but, that would probably cut into their sales that is why I no longer buy the large size, but the smallest size available. Loctite and 3M set the standards for other companies to follow!
Planned obsolescence.😒

Yeah man, great testing vid with very interesting results. Have to say loctite wone, even with a straight average that last pic score. Is just to much of a victory. With good showings in all other tests.
In the reef tank hobby we often use super glue to attach coral to rock and cement plugs and other stuff. Many times we put a big glob of super glue then attach the coral/object then pour baking soda on top to make it set super fast. It's supposed to make it a lot stronger too. Maybe something to consider if another super glue video is done. I don't know if it's relevant lol
Thanks for the feedback.
I use Loctite for assembling Warhammer 40k models, and it's the one that consistently fails to fail. All the others have occasionally had joints fail in hinky ways.
It's a great product!
How about the best wood glue ( I use it more too)
Thank you for this recommendation!
Project Farm please do this
Mower Man gx85 good call
Yassss
I agree. Wood glue would be cool. Test it on a hard wood like oak.
It's wild how all over the map these results are!
I agree. Loctite seemed to be the best overall.
oh I am sold on loctite for sure! I have always used it for plastic stuff and after seeing this I will never switch products EVER!
The results certainly are all over the place. From a scientific standpoint I am skeptical. I think for tests like these, more samples are very necessary.
agreed, same with the prices for the stuff! however..loctite has always been my go to...or gorilla just personal prefrence
The place I used to work we used quite a lot of theese CA glues, we mostly used different types of loctite 401, 406, 435 some 3M branded stuff and few other, but there were just theese 1 part out of 50 that failed for no obvious reason. So if you only make 1 test for each glue it might just be the one that failed. So I just say there are some variables in gluing that sometimes the glue fails.
I love the effort you go to with all these videos to try and be as fair, equal and scientific as possible.
Thanks again for another amazing video!
You are welcome!
Another thing about superglue is that some brands lose their strength very quickly over time. Something that would be very difficult to test. But using superglue since it first came out, it is something I've noticed.
Thanks for the feedback.

Always bought loctite, considering I usually use it on plastics, seems like I stumbled into a good choice. Also I don’t mean to be presumptuous but Naptha(usually sold alongside paint supplies) works great to clean plastics, used it for years in guitar repair work(is safe for all the finishes, while alcohol dissolves some types) eats through grease and oil well too

Thank you!
My observation says to get the Loctite for most jobs around the house. I have some original which is fine for small jobs, but next time I'll get Loctite for my own personal needs. I would like to know: what is the best rubber glue/cement?
I think for the twisting sheer of the bolts, you could of used the hanging scale off of a bar/socket. Then pull on the scale till failure. That would give you exactly the Nm of force needed to break instead of using the torque wrench in 5lb/ft increments. But, the torque wrench did show good results ;)
That's a great way to make the test easier. I bet he was doing that test for a long time!
@Dgstowe that's not right. The weight of a torque ratchet isn't suspect is it when you're using it, is it? Even if it changed the real number slightly it'd change the real no. by the same small amount for each test so it'd be a controlled variable.
@Dgstowe it's all good. I talk in comments to learn and be taught when I didn't know something either. I also comment hoping people will check out my UA-cam channel. Lol Automotive repair generally..sometimes motorcycles and upgrades.
I've been repairing broken plastic toys for years as a hobby. I've always used Loctite superglue just because it was what was on the shelves. People told me Gorilla glue was better, so I tried that for a while, but realized it actually wasn't as good as the Loctite. Now I see, thanks to your testing, that my cheap Loctite glue was the best for what I was using it for all along!
You are welcome!
Same here. Just tried using Gorilla super glue gel and it was terrible.

The truly impressive part of all of this is how you come up with your testing procedures. They are very well designed. The only thing that could be improved upon is the sampling size. The greater the sample pool the more accurate the results will be.
Cyanoacrylate is a fairly basic compound and I'm not convinced that any one of the glues tested are really any better than the others.
As always absolutely great testing Todd. Keep up the good work 👍

Remember that some types of gasket sealant works best if applied in a thin layer first and let it harden a while until it goes gooey and then mount it, then it is under more tension
Do you happen to know what kind of glue they use for grinding wheel dressers to hold on the diamond dust ? That's got to be some good stuff
lb force and newtons are just different units just like inches and cm. As an engineer, I see no reason why newtons would be anything other than a personal preference in any situation.
Thank you for the feedback
True, although the imperial units are notoriously confusing...
I agree, but it's also possible that his scale gives better resolution in newtons versus pounds force. For instance if it only outputs in 0.5 lbf increments or greater.
I agree. Honestly, I would say it's better to measure in pounds simply because the majority if the viewers recognize it more as a standard and can gauge how much force is applied vs newton's that only people in specific fields use and recognize. Sure it can be more accurate but if the information doesn't make it across that mental conversion threshold, then it's useless.
THANK YOU!
It's his video..he can use whatever unit he wants to use.
Period.
Seriously impressed with each test you used. Was a cabinet maker for close to 35 years. So, maybe add wood for testing. Thanks so much for this type of video!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I use to turn ink pens on a lathe where all the parts had to be pressed and sometimes super glued. The cheap dollar store glue worked better than any of the name brands it seemed like. Also for some reason super glue seemed to lose it's strength over time after opening it even if it was sealed back up.

As usual, a great video. I will give you a quick anecdote: When I was about 11 years old I lived in Illinois. My father used to take me to a small diner that looked like a railroad car. The food was always excellent. Best bacon cheeseburgers in the mid west!! One day our usual waitress was not there. The woman that took her place was LOUSY at service. My dad was always a very good tipper. At that time he was a vice president for Caterpillar tractor company. Since the service was so bad, he took a quarter out, and also a small tube. He put a small amount on the quarter, pressed it on the table and sat his coffee cup on it. (To give it heat he said.) We then left. Roughly 9 months later, we went back. The quarter was still there. They had tried to get it off, no luck. When I got older, I left Illinois and moved to Kentucky. I went home to visit my dad, and he suggested we go to the diner as the city was going to tear it down in a month or so for more parking space. I agreed. 22 years later, THAT QUARTER WAS STILL THERE!!! They gouged the hell out of that table trying to get it off. No luck at all. One of my favorite memories growing up. Best wishes.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing! That's quite a memory!

My conclusion from this testing is that there is no single best super glue. It depends on the application.
@@risajajr My conclusion is that each test needed a sample size of more than 1 per adhesive, tbh. Maybe it'll get revisited? The sample size was a big problem but the methodology was great, I thought.
Thank you, it seems PF adopted this approach and I for one find it very helpful. So thank you!
I love this channel. Please never sell out
Thanks so much!
@@ProjectFarm Do some companies make changes to their products after being tested by Project Farm?
I would like to thank you for all you do. The time and financial burden you must have invested in all these projects for our benefit. Thank you so much. As a estate owner and owner of equipment it is great to see real world tests and not bs or "rumor". Thank you.
You are welcome!
@@ProjectFarm You do more for the American consumer and property owner than all of congress. With all the "global" products people like you are more important than ever to ensure we are not wasting our hard earned money. Can't thank you enough.
I am building my shopping list as I go.. Best and the honest reviews I have ever seen !!! God bless you Todd !!🙏
Awesome! Thank you!
Would love to see an update and thanks for all the great videos, they have really helped me make informed choices.
CA tips: CA glue does not stick to polyethylene gloves. These are the clear, flat ones that look and fit like mittens
Baking soda does not make a good CA glue accelerator. You need an amine based spray for this and accelerators really work well. Test it!
Store CA glue in the refrigerator for longer life
Thanks for the suggestion.
I needed to find a different super glue for a project I was working on and instantly thought of you 😎 Knowing you'd have a super helpful testing video I could watch 👍 thanks for all your time, dedication and bringing valuable content to UA-cam ▶️
Thanks for the video idea.
I'll put this response in the fail bin.
You: "Should these plastic pipes be welded together?"
Loctite: "Hold my Beer"
if a plumber rocked up at your place, ready to fix your leaking pipes with loctite, you'd say?
'hold my beer, I'll call your ambulance'
Wouldn’t that be an bad idea because the stuff would be in the water or what ever in it
Very nice job of designing and conducting the tests! Thank you! One suggestion would be to put together a composite chart of all the results and show that at the end of the video.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
This guy is the best. Full of integrity and studious testing methods.
Thansk!
Will self pleasure lubricant act as engine oil
Thank you for this recommendation!
Project Farm hows she going
i looked up silicone oil for use in my air guns on Amazon, and found a crap load of "sexual lubricants" LOL
TRUST CHRIST OR GO TO HELL lol holy crap
Anyways silicone 'personal' lube as oil would be interesting. Dot 5 brake fluid is silicone based. Wonder how it would behave.
As stupid and trolly as this sounds it is a great idea that will generate a lot of views! And the best part is how professionally it will be handled. :)
Another great video with honest comparison. Kinda looks like Loctite might be best overall. Thank you for all the effort you put into these tests, they are very useful!
A suggestion for future a future episode might be to test the efficiency of the various camp coolers that are available these days. Walmart, Yeti, or somewhere in between.
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the video idea.
You should like create a pole or interaction thing so other people could vote on what you should try next on your experiments and such.
Thank you for this recommendation!
Wow...so much patience and details....great job !!! Thanks.
You are welcome!
is there a list of all tests winners? That would be super helpful when shopping for batteries, glues, epoxies, stud finders, etc
Yes there a is a document out there
A bit late to the party here, but I'd love to see a comparison of CA products with wood, especially with accelerants. This combination seems to be super popular on woodworking channels. Also, I agree with the comments that larger sample sets would be much more accurate. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
Ca glue is good for MDF trim. Hotmelt then wood glue are the choices for real wood.
If you could test the performance of different spark plugs that would be interesting...such as ngk..bosch ..champion etc..
Thank you for this recommendation!
I’m convinced locktite is the best for the money! I have used it for almost everything! And I’ve been more than satisfied with the results! Thank you for the comprehensive testing!👌😎👍
You are welcome!
Mix all the super glues together and see how strong they are
Thank you for this recommendation!
I've done that with liquor!
ahhahahahahahaha
I don't think that you would have enough time before they started to set.
Rickbearcat you would if the room wasn't humid.
can you test different surfaces like glass and some plastics
Thank you for this recommendation!
You can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos. Much appreciated
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much. I’ve been dumbfounded at price increases in adhesives and epoxies, not to mention cleaning solvents. I’m a JB Weld man all the way, but I’m glad to see the price is competitive.
Wget original super glue for a dollar at the Dollar Tree for ……. A dollar. Now I know why, but still useful for my smaller repairs that don’t justify spending $7 at Home Depot.
You are welcome!
Wow. I came in thinking "cool, let's see a guy break a couple things to test a couple super glue brands in a totally unscientific way..." and discovered a great video! Thanks a lot!
You are welcome!
Scott is THE GOAT of youtube product testing.
:) you always make yourself so much work for us. thanks very much. your tests really are usefull and not some spacy useless stuff you can see on other channels
Thank you very much!
Wait? There is a super glue that is actually named super glue?
lol. Original name, right?
That company was the one that created this type of glue and called it “super glue”, hence the name
Superglue is more English... i think - Krazy glue is more Canada/ or America I think... I only say cause I went to Canada... in canada I found no one knows what super glue is.. they said oh you want Crazy glue! What is super glue... In england we call all super glue - super glue - no matter the make is just the generic
Eduardo Avila It’s kind’ve like chapstick. Chapstick is a brand name, but it was so well known that it became a name for any product like it
@Tim Berle
I'm from Canada and I know what Super Glue is...
As someone who grew up using Elmers in school and having my projects fall apart when I went to hand them in, these tests are really something to see!
Thanks for the feedback.
Just want to say I really enjoy your videos and appreciate how much time/effort you put into them, but this one has some issues.
The sample size is just way too small to draw useful conclusions from. If you tested each type of stress/force with 3-5 bolts each instead of just one the results would likely normalize (less difference between brands) a significant amount. The issue with a single bolt per stress type is that if the result is skewed by human error or something else there's no way to tell. I think if you repeated this test with multiple bolts per stress/force type the difference in results would be surprising. I'm by no means an expert but from an analytical standpoint using a single data point for anything is not good for precise and accurate results.
Just my 2 cents on the matter.
All great points and thanks for the constructive feedback.
Just started having your videos pop up in my "recommended", thoroughly enjoy them. U have a new sub. Thanks for showing these to us. Very entertaining and informative.
Thank you for the feedback!
He’s waging war with sponsors this man can’t be broken
