What is the difference between "Super" Gorilla glue and "Regular"? Just more concentrated? Or a different formulation?

I usually run the other direction from much-hyped product, so got to wondering...

From the MSDS --

Gorilla Super Glue
Product description: Ethyl Cyanoacrylate adhesive

It's just another brand of ordinary ol' cyanoacrylate that (probably)
has some minor modifications they can claim credit for. I'd doubt it is
any different functionally than any other, just as their polyurethane
glue isn't fundamentally any different that any of the multitude of
similar others on the market--it's just the brand name and advertising
that made it known.

Wally World the other day had Gorilla tape and Gorilla wood glue.
They're just spreading their name to other type adhesives. Original
glue is a polyurethane.

Buy the right glue for the project? Boss Higgons never gave a purpose
for the glue or an applicable application.

Some stuff can stick to a ball of lard.

I have never found cyanoacrylate (super glue) to be worth buying. It's
garbage. About the only thing it glues well, are people's fingers.

The non-super stuff is some kind of viscous
liquid that is water activated. Swells, bubbles,
and sticks amazingly well to wood. I've used it
for chair repair, and also repair pews at church.

I'm told the medical profession uses super
glue in some situations to repair wounds.
It's not just for sticking fingers today.

Acetone "nail polish remover" is the solvent
to unstick super glue.

It's super glue. It's a different animal.

By the way... Keeping superglue (and probably other glues) in the
refrigerator will make it last infinitely longer than keeping it
at room temperature. I have decades of experience using lots of
superglue. Doesn't hurt to keep it out for one day, but return it
to the refrigerator when not planning to use it. Otherwise you
will end up with a hard unusable bottle of superglue within about
two weeks.

Maybe you don't do the same things that everybody
else does... It is useful for all sorts of temporary and
lightweight gluing tasks, especially plastic (permanently).
Gorilla Glue isn't for plastic, so it is a good complement to
that. Uncoordinated people and people with little situational
awareness might have trouble with superglue.

Just because it doesn't work for its advertised uses is hardly
meaningful. It does not repair glass, but it's useful for
temporarily fixing things to glass. The surfaces must be
finely sanded or they must be like plastic that can be melted by
the superglue. You can see vapor rising from it that will sting
your eyes. Removing it from glass is easy with a scraper. But it
damages plastic.

Hope that helps...

I heard, but don't know if it's actually factual, that a Nam MASH unit
glued up some some tricky wounds with off the shelf Super Glue as they
had no alternative... and had satisfactory results.

Far as the Gorilla stuff goes, I have no personal experience with it,
but do remember reading it can be un reliable if not fresh.

Good MSDS's:

Disclose all their product ingredients.

Hmmmm, maybe that would be a great way to glue all the food containers
to the shelves in the fridge. That way the old lady wont keep eating

Of course, dont tell her I said this, or she'll glue my beer cans to the

Just glue the door shut. Much faster and easier.

It'will work really well for that. Superglue works great on rubber, as I learned
when I saw an o-ring making kit with a roll of rubber and container of
superglue.

"Regular" is polyurethane.
"Super" is cyanoacrylate.
