Are there differing strengths of 'superglue'?

The table at http://www.glue-shop.com/info2.htm gives a range of
strengths for different cyanoacrylates. The strength seems to depend
on the chemical base and less for the odourless versions.

Wow my question was dumb! Thank-you both for your responses. Maybe
I'd switched to buying the odourless version over the years though I
don't know why as I like the smell of cyanoacrylate.

I don't. Gives me asthma for days. I still use it tho ;-)

I hadn't noticed that effect.
(As a teenager I was able to get out of doing things I didn't want to by
drinking some orange/lemon squash concentrate - the tartrazine/E102
would have me wheezing for several hours.)

That site recommends storing it in a freezer for long life. Can I
just put an unopened bottle in the freezer or is it likely to expand
& explode?


Don't think so. Freezing point is, I suspect, well below freezer temps.

Ta - freezing it is then.

Wish mine lasted long enough to warrant it..get through a small bottle
per model plane, usually.

And then sand most of it off later ;-)
