E6000, Shoe Goo and Amazing Goop are all variations of the same glue made by the same company. They also make E6100 which just thicker less runny version of 6000. (6100 is hard to find.) Shoe Goo has been around since the early 70's.
Interesting to know. I'll have to look around as there may be factory test data between the 3. For now, Shoe Goo is the one I am planning on using for a shoe repair. Thanks!
you keep putting the weights closer to the white bar above the eye of the screw on the first one which will help it to be stronger because the closer in the weight is the shorter the lever. The further out the weight is placed the more downward force is created on the glue. I know its only a small distance but if you're trying to do a test all conditions have to be the same for accuracy.
Thanks for taking the time to do a test like this. Really cool to see the comparison. I’ve been using shoe goo and e6000. Didn’t really know what was better. I have done one lexan body with the drywall tape and e6000. So far I’m happy. But it’s great to know the shoe goo will be just as good for that method. Thanks again. Great video!
Thanks! This is one of the BEST 'test' videos I've seen on YT for glues. Taking the time to change weights, and hours of drying is something not done by others. I can now see which glue I may choose to repair the pads that have some off the bottom of running shoes. The factory didn't do a good job because in one run, they all fell off one shoe! (Asics GT-2000) Managed to retrace the run and find every one of them! Your tests helped me decide which adhesive to use. Thank you for taking the time to set up these tests. NICE RC vehicles too!
Ya I been using the hell out of e6000 for years. Tried gg clear contact adhesive for a simple project glueing led strip lights together, sucked. Anyways appreciate the accurate logical testing👍🤙
I have used Shoe Goo and E6000 quite a bit over the years... amazing to see how they do after 24 hours... I have been using 2 things lately as theyre really handy at the track, E6000 is available im 4-packs of small tubes, which is convenient, as well as FlexTape, by the flex seal brand(do not cut it with scissors, use a razor blade, hobby knife, etc...) Thanks for this comparison, I'll keep on with Shoe Goo and E6000...
Great test..just remember that Any glues weakness point is to how well you clean and prep the surfaces....any grit sand or oil residue will weaken your bond using the best glue to nothing.
I've been using shoo goo for years and its held everything i have used it on, but the most amazing thing is its the same tube! At least 4 years old, the stuff if tightly capped never hardens in the tube.They may have changed the formula by now because only selling one tube to a customer in a lifetime will surely put them out of business, i hope not!
Great test. One criticism with the test... the eye hook set up pulls it downward... but also puts a twist... slight difference of the orientation of the eye hooks may give more twist over the others.
Your video was good, but the 24 hour duration of the test wasn't long enough. Both ShooGoo and E6000 continue to cure for 72 hours. I'd like to know if ShooGloo would still come out on top after they're both fully cured at 72 hours?
I used gorilla glue the glue my sole back onto my shoe. I work 10 hours a day I'm walking on my feet all day long so my shoes get a lot of wear. Gorilla glue only lasted about three or four days. Gorilla glue has good marketing but I found it to be not so good ( in certain applications anyways ) Thank you for testing these really helpful video
Thankyiu ,I was just going to purchase gorilla glue. I'm needing to glue fabric embroidery to a wooden box, everytime I Google the result is gorilla glue . I can't mess up ,it's got to be a good fix ,I'm thinking the E 6000 is the one to try.
I know what Glue I'm using. Im building the Moebius models international prostar right now but didn't know what Glue to use but thanks to you for the video E6000 wins!!!!!!!
Exo, hope you are doing well. That was a cool test. I have used E6000 for a while. Do you think that the black version of these would hold the same? Gorilla Glue needs to change its name Sloth Snot. :)
I LOVED this! Thank you for your time in experimenting.. Ive always been True to "Goop" I thought "Shoo" was the same? Bottom line, Gorilla has always failed me. Total waste of $- Im curing Goop for a '79 eldorado as I post this.
Both Shoe Goo and E6000 take up to 72 hours to fully cure, not sure about the others but would have been nice to see how strong they are after the full curing time.
@@michaeljohn7467 set Vs working cure VS full cure. It's not all gonna be on the bottle. Don't read the bottle. Know the substance you're buying. Super glue is usually cyanoacrylate. Epoxys can be good too. I believe e6k is a silicone based adhesive.
How long does SHOE GOO ll take to cure? Allow 24-48 hours for full cure. Depending on substrates and temperature, maximum bond strength may not be reached for up to 3 days.@@rhoodj
BTW, the solvent for E6000 is dry cleaning fluid aka perchloroethylen/tetrachloroethylene. By adding this to E6000 you can make an excellent low viscosity version of the glue. I used it to seal joints in sea fishing traces, and it is untouched by saltwater immersion.
I used some E6000 from a tube that was nearly dried out to the point of being like dough and it still held aluminum Gemini letters to red brick that was not cleaned on a windy cold day in the Texas panhandle. I highly recommend the brand.
Thank you! jhust tred shoe Goo for the first time to repair a shoe heel (women's heel tap). Seriously, just 1 hour ago. So, I have t o wait and see how long it will last in this Florida humidity. I'm going to let it sit a couple of days wit the vice grip on it before trying it out. E6000 never lasted more than a week or two when repairing shoes here in SWFL.
Shoe goo has a Harder consistency when fully cured. Yes, still kind of rubbery but harder. E6000 is the way to go if you want something more flexible. E6000 can stretch 600 to 700 percent of its original shape and return back to the original. Take your pick. Both are probably overkill in performance when used in most common instances.
So I will use shoe goo to make earrings with plastic posts for sensitive ears. It is waterproof. Going to test it to see how many showers I can take before the stone falls off the post. Maybe it will just hold on forever if I’m lucky. They will have pull on them when taking the backs off but should be alright after three initial days of drying. 🤞
I prefer the Shoo Goo myself, but have used the E6000 as well and find that it is a little easier to work with (the SG seems to thicken up quicker so you have to work faster), I also really like the various JB welds, the plastic and clear welds in particular for this hobby.
Yup, you managed to make science fun! I just wish that you'd do some sort of test with actual shoes (since I'm looking for the best glue to repair shoes, sandals and such).
Same. I love learning about product performance in a non-biased manner, its just so refreshing when everything is over-advertised 🥲. Rose Anvil channel cuts sneakers and boots in half to look at the interior construction and I love those videos to death
I just used the Clear Gorilla Glue (non expanding/non foaming) this week to glue the top sheet of my ski back. Luckily, the top sheet was still attached to the tip, so I took a spray bottle of water and sprayed the two surfaces to be glued and poured a bit of the glue between the top sheet and the ski and with nitrile gloves, I smeared the glue all around to cover the surfaces as close to 100% as I could. Then covered the top and bottom of the ski with cling wrap (to keep glue from getting on my garage floor) and took a wooden dowel and rolled the glue around like a rolling pin to get the rest of the surfaces my fingers couldn't reach. I Then took a 50 pound sandbag and placed it on the ski tip over the glued area and put 2 cinder blocks on that (had to angle the ski a little to position the cinder blocks/sand so that they were pushing directly over the affected area). I let it dry for 3 days then took cinder blocks/sand off and ripped the plastic wrap off and used a utility knife to cut off the excess glue that smeared out. Letting the ski dry another 2 days inside where temps and humidity are normal. I did see where I used a tiny bit too much, but I think the glue will hold well for my application.
Gorilla is a one-trick pony. Except for their expanding glue, I've found Gorilla Glue products inferior. I was really surprised how weak their mounting tape was versus everything else I've used.
Don't know about that clear gorilla glue he was using. But most gorilla glue recommends scuffing the surfaces first AND damping one with a light amount of water... So....
I was wondering about how guerilla glue expands a lot, i used this glue a lot n it holds pretty good, but a lot of times some glue bubbles out a lot n can cause some problems if you dont keep wiping it off until it stops doing this, why does this glue does this?
I second that notion. Hell, I consider their og-flagship product/glue to be essentially a one-trick pony since it only does *one*thing better than the top tier competitors available: making a strong bond when there's a substantial gap to fill due to poor fit-up. Otherwise GGlue's contemporaries run circles around GGlue in numerous easily demonstrable ways....However, working with it is such an inevitably maddening PITA by being 100% precluded from finishing up thinking that you did "tidy work" (for me, at least), so that prevents me from ever even considering using the crap for even where it could conceivably be the objective best choice. I'd muuuuch rather do some convoluted multi-product approach that i make up on the spot that doesnt weld rock-hard giant snot bubbles onto LITERALLY EVERYTHING within the line of sight of an open bottle's dispenser, UGH
@@michaeljohn7467 The expanding water activated type is for things like furniture joints to get into voids between the wood pieces. I used GG expanding type last year on a chair. Just recently I hear the joints getting loose again, despite the foam edge still being present. I would be using GG again for that purpose. I an not sure how their other glues work, if they are water activated or not. I would assume they were not.
4:33 "24.5oz on here now..." *Hangs the weight behind the loop, decreasing leverage & therefore force exponentially, giving Amazing Goop a massive advantage. I can tell you are earnestly attempting to conduct an extremely useful, unbiased, genuine experiment for the benefit of mankind. Not only do I applaud you for doing this, I am grateful as this was certainly not an "all for nothing" production. Anyone who watches this through will have undoubtedly benefited from your awesome contribution to mankind. With that being said overlooking small details of this sort, will flaw and or skew the results massively. Extreme care needs to be taken in every detail, from evenly preparing each surface, direction the loop is in, the way you let go, to how long you leave the weight on. If we catch small oversights we are likely (and fair) to assume there are others we're not getting footage of. Just some constructive feedback. Again thank you for doing this. I look forward to seeing more experiments like this, from you. Please keep these details things in mind... if nothing else, just so we know we can take your findings to the bank. 💪
I really thought it was going to be E6000 then Shoe Goo. Those are my favorites. I wonder which of the two is sightly flexible as well as strong. Aka straight sheer strength (as seen in the video) vs a part that bends like a shoe sole.
E6000 is flexible. I've had the sole coming off a pair of vans (not like the foxing detaching from the sole, but the whole midsole/outsole separating from the upper) and E6000 held it on fairly well but was also still able to flex like normal
It just so happened that I was trying to decide whether to buy Gorilla Glue, E6000 or Goop when I found your video. Good job! I do have one comment. I noticed that at 38 ounces for 12 hours you hung the weight around the base of the screw eye instead of the middle of the eye on the Amazing Goop. This would have decreased the leverage of the weight. I don’t think it affected the overall results enough to worry about. I appreciate you doing this testing and based on your results and my needs I think I will buy E6000.
I may be wrong here, but I think Shoo-Goo was the original stuff, being available in the late 80's, early 90's. I was told that that was what they use to bond the soles to running shoes. I've used it at work to mount steel on steel fixtures (they will never come apart even when you want to) and have even repaired several snowmobile tracks where I have torn out a stud and it worked remarkably well for that.
Gorilla Clear grip is total crap! I tried it on footwear which you would think would be an ideal application. In no time at all my sandals and shoes were falling apart. I have a new tag line for Gorilla “Gorilla Clear grip sticks to itself and nothing else”
I don't know why this is so exciting and entertaining but my heart is beating fast every time he puts the hook on a different stick period and then when he's like damn. I can't wait to see more videos like this
In the 1980's one of my "Kung Fu" student accidently ripped the inside of my nylon shoe. I put Shoe Goo on it ( just bobbed it on ). And in 24 hours sitting in a basement, it was hard as a rock and didn't break loose at all ! 👍
I've use Shoe Goo & Amazing Goop to do bicycle (air chamber) tire repair countless time, with just preparing the surface to be more grippy they both hold on to my air chamber which mean i do not need heavy patches that leave buldges. Because it strech i do not feel i fixed it. Just don't try to do it on an air chamber that is significantly smaller than the tire you are putting it in. Less strech = the better.
Wish there was a bend test, I usually use these glues on sneakers. Shoo goo failed me when I used it on the sides where your foot bends. Might try e6000 this time..
Well done very informative thanks for your patience and Performing this video I'm going to buy the E6000 my neighbours got some shoes and boots that seems to be giving up on the Soles and the seams she's not a very rich person so this is definitely going to help thanks again. Stay healthy cheers
I don't understand how "Testing" glues before their cure time is achieved provides any useful information. It's like testing a boat when the bottom isn't finished being built.
Not all of us have 36hrs to wait so we have to use them sooner. This shows which ones hold better quicker than others. The E6000 surprised me so much that’s all I use now
I found a new pair of, Nike Air Max 2001, in my storage closet. like how they look, a metallic silver with black down to toe. Wore them for first time and the soles glue is all bad from middle to front, so needing a good glue to get these shoes back to working order.
E6000 and Shoe Goo for all intents and purpose are the same thing except for the solvent they use. (e6000 is water-based if I recall and SG uses Toluene)
I noticed you always put the weight on the Amazing Goop on the screw next to they nylon, but put it on the eye on the others. Is there a reason for that? Shoe Goo and Goop are made by the same company.
I cut my index finger really bad and should have had stiches, I glued it together with Krazy Glue and it healed up and can barely see the scar. Gorrilla Glue - I have never gotten to work at all but I like the Gorilla Tape Some are better than others depending on the material you are trying to stick together as well.
Hey! Great video and test procedure. Do you think any of these glues would work "at all" for polyethylene? The nylon you used is probably hard to glue but polyethylene is very difficult. Thanks!
@@ExocagedRC Thank you. I am going to try 3M High Strength 90 Spray Adhesive because they state, amazingly, it will work with polyethylene! Unfortunately the moment I found this out, there seems to be a run on the stuff and every store is out of it.
I think you must have accidentally messed up the gluing surface for the E6000 on the 24 hour test. There's no way it wins everything else and loses the 24 hour mark.
Great topic, very important to the hobby. Did you ever consider epoxy, the type used a lot in rc planes? I personally use 15 minute epoxy with decent results.
Just want to say huge thank you to you! I have been wokring on a DIY project for a week using gorilla glue and it always falling apart. I will most definitely swtich to E6000!
4:35 you put it near to the object instead of away or in to the ring that will make a difference. Should do it all equally, including the way you release your hand from the weights etc
With solvent based glues it's very important to let the solvent evaporate slightly as per the instructions before pressing it together. Otherwise it never dries in the middle as it never has a chance to evaporate and activate the glue.
I didnt know this about certain types of glue, i always thought to press stuff together right away or put a clamp on it right away to hold it tight, which glues are solvent based n what are solvent based glues used for?
pretty shocked how bad goop did!!!! i always used goop as my number one go to and dont like e6000 as much because it has more solvent/softer cure than goop(especially plumbing and marine, those will last a lifetime!) i had a microwave handle made from a small bottle glued to the door of a microwave that outlasted the microwave, the microwave rusted through before the handle gave out!!! all of Eclectic products glues are friken amazing but i always liked goop the best also was amazed at the times gorilla glue DIDNT fail....instantly, it always will fail but usually it doesnt even try
brother that was great!!!! i've always used shoo goo, and now i won't use anything else!! stuff is also great for water proofing, i run spektrum gear and always take the cover off of the RX and cover the board with goo and have never had one fail in the water, also great for rc4wd winch controllers, balance plugs on ur batteries so u don't break off them tiny wires blah,blah,blah:) oh ya, also great for repairing lexan, mesh drywall tape and goo makes for a great and really strong repair!
E6000, Shoe Goo and Amazing Goop are all variations of the same glue made by the same company. They also make E6100 which just thicker less runny version of 6000. (6100 is hard to find.) Shoe Goo has been around since the early 70's.

Gorilla glue so disappointing smh

I use these glues a lot. They require oxygen to cure that’s why it doesn’t harden inside the tube.
I know but I have had countless tubes of glue and expensive silicon sealers and gasket makers all tightly capped harden inside the tube.
@@Firewlkre
Me too
how the hell do you not use it up???? i literally can go through a 8 oz tube of goop or similar in a few hours/days!
Great test. One criticism with the test... the eye hook set up pulls it downward... but also puts a twist... slight difference of the orientation of the eye hooks may give more twist over the others.
Please do one more test between shoogoo and e6000. Weight at least 5 days before doing the 70ounce test. This is amazing!
Your video was good, but the 24 hour duration of the test wasn't long enough. Both ShooGoo and E6000 continue to cure for 72 hours. I'd like to know if ShooGloo would still come out on top after they're both fully cured at 72 hours?
TBH I think e6k continues to harden if it's in the sunlight for a good week or 2.
E6000 recommends a 72 hours full cure time.
So does Shoe Goo
Temperature changes drying time
Exactly. Disappointing that he doesn't bother testing them after their recommended curing time.

I'd muuuuch rather do some convoluted multi-product approach that i make up on the spot that doesnt weld rock-hard giant snot bubbles onto LITERALLY EVERYTHING within the line of sight of an open bottle's dispenser, UGH
@@michaeljohn7467 The expanding water activated type is for things like furniture joints to get into voids between the wood pieces. I used GG expanding type last year on a chair. Just recently I hear the joints getting loose again, despite the foam edge still being present. I would be using GG again for that purpose.
I an not sure how their other glues work, if they are water activated or not. I would assume they were not.
@@watcher818 ok
So i should get the glue dont expand like that
The one with the coolest name turned out to be the weakest. Welcome to marketing 101 In 2020.
Amazing!!
Same as Budwiser Beer. Great Marketing, but never won a gold medal or any medal for annual beer tasting in over 100 years.
Shoe goo recommends 24-72hr cure time. I used 36hrs for my magnet body mounts
4:33 "24.5oz on here now..."
*Hangs the weight behind the loop, decreasing leverage & therefore force exponentially, giving Amazing Goop a massive advantage.
I can tell you are earnestly attempting to conduct an extremely useful, unbiased, genuine experiment for the benefit of mankind. Not only do I applaud you for doing this, I am grateful as this was certainly not an "all for nothing" production. Anyone who watches this through will have undoubtedly benefited from your awesome contribution to mankind. With that being said overlooking small details of this sort, will flaw and or skew the results massively. Extreme care needs to be taken in every detail, from evenly preparing each surface, direction the loop is in, the way you let go, to how long you leave the weight on. If we catch small oversights we are likely (and fair) to assume there are others we're not getting footage of. Just some constructive feedback. Again thank you for doing this. I look forward to seeing more experiments like this, from you. Please keep these details things in mind... if nothing else, just so we know we can take your findings to the bank. 💪
Joe only you could make me watching a vid adout glue 😂🤣💯👍🏻 shoe goo it is 💪🏼💪🏼
I really thought it was going to be E6000 then Shoe Goo. Those are my favorites. I wonder which of the two is sightly flexible as well as strong. Aka straight sheer strength (as seen in the video) vs a part that bends like a shoe sole.
probably would have if he had waited full cure time.
E6000 is flexible. I've had the sole coming off a pair of vans (not like the foxing detaching from the sole, but the whole midsole/outsole separating from the upper) and E6000 held it on fairly well but was also still able to flex like normal
I have used the E6000 on my Trx4 and had no issues...used some Gorilla glue to flue some wood together held well but foamed up too much.
It just so happened that I was trying to decide whether to buy Gorilla Glue, E6000 or Goop when I found your video. Good job! I do have one comment. I noticed that at 38 ounces for 12 hours you hung the weight around the base of the screw eye instead of the middle of the eye on the Amazing Goop. This would have decreased the leverage of the weight. I don’t think it affected the overall results enough to worry about. I appreciate you doing this testing and based on your results and my needs I think I will buy E6000.
I noticed that as well
TRY THIS 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive
I may be wrong here, but I think Shoo-Goo was the original stuff, being available in the late 80's, early 90's. I was told that that was what they use to bond the soles to running shoes. I've used it at work to mount steel on steel fixtures (they will never come apart even when you want to) and have even repaired several snowmobile tracks where I have torn out a stud and it worked remarkably well for that.
Great experiment
Gorilla Clear grip is total crap! I tried it on footwear which you would think would be an ideal application. In no time at all my sandals and shoes were falling apart. I have a new tag line for Gorilla “Gorilla Clear grip sticks to itself and nothing else”
Thank you
You're welcome
I don't know why this is so exciting and entertaining but my heart is beating fast every time he puts the hook on a different stick period and then when he's like damn. I can't wait to see more videos like this
Lmao so true!!
Ha ha. In case you haven't, go check out comparisons on "penetrating oils".... spoiler, one of the best is homemade!
I used shoe goo on some hunting boots, and it didn't last anytime before failing
In the 1980's one of my "Kung Fu" student accidently ripped the inside of my nylon shoe. I put Shoe Goo on it ( just bobbed it on ). And in 24 hours sitting in a basement, it was hard as a rock and didn't break loose at all ! 👍
thank you i just repaired my air niki shoes
I see the bias. 7:05 you placed the weight closer to the glue. The further away the weight is from the glue, the more stress the weight exerts on it.
Good effort, but nylon ain't what shoe soles are made of. So?
I've use Shoe Goo & Amazing Goop to do bicycle (air chamber) tire repair countless time, with just preparing the surface to be more grippy they both hold on to my air chamber which mean i do not need heavy patches that leave buldges. Because it strech i do not feel i fixed it. Just don't try to do it on an air chamber that is significantly smaller than the tire you are putting it in. Less strech = the better.
Amazing goop would fail if u didn't pit the hook on the shank half the time lol. E6000 regardless tho
Now which one can I use on my sandal shoe sole? It has leather and plastic. Needs to be waterproof. Is ShoeGoo the answer?
You are amazing ...THANKS
All Gorilla glues seems to be the worst performer in all the tests I ever found on UA-cam
Youre better off using contact cement from home depot.
✌🏾🙏🏾🐜tested🙏🏾✌🏾🐜God Bless🙏🏾✌🏾🐜
Wish there was a bend test, I usually use these glues on sneakers. Shoo goo failed me when I used it on the sides where your foot bends. Might try e6000 this time..
Hi, did it work well using E6000?
To install a car spoiler, waterproof a permanent glue ...what would you recommend 🤔
Ty
Well done very informative thanks for your patience and Performing this video I'm going to buy the E6000 my neighbours got some shoes and boots that seems to be giving up on the Soles and the seams she's not a very rich person so this is definitely going to help thanks again. Stay healthy cheers
This was definitely a good video to watch and very informative 👍
I don't understand how "Testing" glues before their cure time is achieved provides any useful information. It's like testing a boat when the bottom isn't finished being built.
Not all of us have 36hrs to wait so we have to use them sooner. This shows which ones hold better quicker than others. The E6000 surprised me so much that’s all I use now
I found a new pair of, Nike Air Max 2001, in my storage closet. like how they look, a metallic silver with black down to toe. Wore them for first time and the soles glue is all bad from middle to front, so needing a good glue to get these shoes back to working order.
Well, I’m not an expert in shoe repair but I’d try the E6000 after making sure the surfaces are clean.
E6000 and Shoe Goo for all intents and purpose are the same thing except for the solvent they use. (e6000 is water-based if I recall and SG uses Toluene)
Excellent job...great info!
I noticed you always put the weight on the Amazing Goop on the screw next to they nylon, but put it on the eye on the others. Is there a reason for that? Shoe Goo and Goop are made by the same company.
I cut my index finger really bad and should have had stiches, I glued it together with Krazy Glue and it healed up and can barely see the scar.
Gorrilla Glue - I have never gotten to work at all but I like the Gorilla Tape
Some are better than others depending on the material you are trying to stick together as well.
That was used in Vietnam to close cuts prevent infection
An ER doc told me the super glue they use at the emergency room is sterilized for medical use while the off the shelf kind is not.
@@sabbottartI will still use off the shelf as it has worked in the past and I can get a hold of it.
man somthing that beats gorilla glue
Shoo Goo and JB Weld......the originals and still the best
Hey! Great video and test procedure. Do you think any of these glues would work "at all" for polyethylene? The nylon you used is probably hard to glue but polyethylene is very difficult. Thanks!
I honestly have no idea which would hold on that.
@@ExocagedRC Thank you. I am going to try 3M High Strength 90 Spray Adhesive because they state, amazingly, it will work with polyethylene! Unfortunately the moment I found this out, there seems to be a run on the stuff and every store is out of it.
I like the Goop in black
I don't know what ounce is bro.
I love E6000. But this was fun to watch. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks!
thanks ima just mix them both
😀 post up and let me know if they work together.
I think you must have accidentally messed up the gluing surface for the E6000 on the 24 hour test.
There's no way it wins everything else and loses the 24 hour mark.
I don’t know man. Each one has different setup and curing times. I cleaned everyone and set at the same time for each test.
@@ExocagedRC thank you for the video, it was very useful in helping me decide what I want to go with.
What kind of e6000 should I use to reattach the soles on a pair of boots?
On Wal-Mart's website there are several of types of e6000 glue.
I have never had any luck with any glue on my shoes. They hold but come loose in a day or two. One thing for sure, don’t do Gorrila glue. LoL.
Great topic, very important to the hobby. Did you ever consider epoxy, the type used a lot in rc planes? I personally use 15 minute epoxy with decent results.
Doesn't that epoxy dry hard? These glues all have a little flex to them even after they're dry.
These are used on bodies as you want a bit of flex still
Just want to say huge thank you to you! I have been wokring on a DIY project for a week using gorilla glue and it always falling apart. I will most definitely swtich to E6000!
4:35 you put it near to the object instead of away or in to the ring that will make a difference. Should do it all equally, including the way you release your hand from the weights etc
Same! On both points, & then some. 😅
these are adhesives not glues
With solvent based glues it's very important to let the solvent evaporate slightly as per the instructions before pressing it together. Otherwise it never dries in the middle as it never has a chance to evaporate and activate the glue.
Thank you for the info. It's amazing how people don't read any instructions.
I didnt know this about certain types of glue, i always thought to press stuff together right away or put a clamp on it right away to hold it tight, which glues are solvent based n what are solvent based glues used for?
Just like bicycle tube rubber cement and patch
what does the bike tube instructions suggest? Waiting a few minutes for evaporation before pressing together?
Isn’t it improper to run a control test like this and glue onto previously uncured glue?
The surfaces were cleaned and dried before each new test.
pretty shocked how bad goop did!!!! i always used goop as my number one go to and dont like e6000 as much because it has more solvent/softer cure than goop(especially plumbing and marine, those will last a lifetime!) i had a microwave handle made from a small bottle glued to the door of a microwave that outlasted the microwave, the microwave rusted through before the handle gave out!!! all of Eclectic products glues are friken amazing but i always liked goop the best also was amazed at the times gorilla glue DIDNT fail....instantly, it always will fail but usually it doesnt even try
brother that was great!!!! i've always used shoo goo, and now i won't use anything else!! stuff is also great for water proofing, i run spektrum gear and always take the cover off of the RX and cover the board with goo and have never had one fail in the water, also great for rc4wd winch controllers, balance plugs on ur batteries so u don't break off them tiny wires blah,blah,blah:) oh ya, also great for repairing lexan, mesh drywall tape and goo makes for a great and really strong repair!
