I'm trying to buy 2 part superglue and it's very hard to find. What
keywords should I use? The only result I got on Ebay (by chance) was
some "AB glue" from China. I seem to have better results with this than
normal superglue. It doesn't set until you put the two objects together
for example.

Google "superglue with activator"


I tried that, but I was finding normal superglue plus a spray to make it
set faster. Superglue doesn't need setting faster, it needs setting
slower. The 2 part stuff I currently have behaves like Araldite
(epoxy), it only sets once the two chemicals are mixed. So you can
smear one tube onto one part, the other tube onto the 2nd part, then
press them together 30 seconds later once you're ready. With normal
superglue you find by that time the stuff's already hardened.

This is what I have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302632886396
(select "AB glue" from the list)
This is the only one I can find on Ebay like this, which is from China
and takes a while to get here. It's two tubes of glue, not a glue and a
spray.

I wonder if the two part stuff you got is not really Superglue but a
glue that is branded as "super"?
Superglue proper, cures in the absence of air. So you apply to both
surfaces, and can go off and have a cup of tea etc and then put the two
parts together thus excluding air and the stuff cures.


I don't understand your point. I already said the stuff I got does what you said. It cures only when the two parts are joined. Normal (one part) superglue cures itself as soon as it comes out of the tube (I assume it reacts with the air) - you have to be damn quick to join the two bits together.
