      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

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.

    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).

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Your videos have come a long way since this one was made. I’d like to see you revisit this but with new tests and averages of say 5 or 10 samples for each type of test. Great videos! Keep up the great work!

      I agree I have used superglues for a long time and the three things I am certain of are:
      (1) they all work very well to glue your fingers together
      (2) you only get one use out of each container because they glue the cap on and dry out after opening and
      (3) They are very inconsistent. As soon as you find one that works great for a particular purpose it breaks immediately the next time you use it for that purpose.

      I was here to say the same thing. Not only has his testing methods improved, but so has the pacing of the videos. I also think revisiting these old topics with the new skill is a great idea

      @flyingtentacle7631 2 роки тому

      I don't think he should come back to this one. This is probably one of the most pointless videos he has made. Each of these brands have about 10 different types of ca glues that they produce, and they're all useful for varying things. Understanding how the glue works and what you're trying to accomplish is the only thing that matters when it comes to ca glue. The ingredients are extremely simple and written in the product description, so brand really doesn't have a huge influence on how the glue behaves.
      It's like doing a comparison video of different brands of ibuprofen.
