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.

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 just took a leaflet out of my mailbox, informing me that I can have sex at 75. I'm so happy, because I live at number 71.

Why on earth would someone ask a question about superglue if they didn't want to know about superglue? What's wrong with you people? But the sort of thing he's asking about is: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mitrebond...it-2-pcs/83841 Sounds promising, but a pen? I find smearing two glues from tubes onto the two surfaces (in the same way as you'd use contact adhesive) then pushing them together much easier. Like this stuff from China: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302632886396 But I can't find two-tube superglue anywhere else. -- What the best way to get a guy to stop smoking after sex?

Various thread sealants always have an air bubble in them when they are sold in sealed tubes, and the reusable tubes are only part filled. They usually are cured in anaerobic conditons. I don't recall seeing air bubbles in single use superglue tubes. And reusable tubes of superglue usually set once opened, consistent with the effect of humidity. -- Roger Hayter |

No it does not cure in air. Superglue is an anerobic adhesive and cures when air is removed by fitting the two parts together. Bob, it's always puzzled me why it doesn't set in the tube / bottle as they are sealed from the air It does set in the tube. At least after opening. I've found Pound Shop little bottles not too bad. 3 for a quid. I've used the same bottle for months. |

I just tried searching for Loctite on Ebay and it just came up with lots of single part superglue.

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 think you are talking about contact adhesives... superglue - cyanoacyrlate - rapidly plolymerises in the presence of water... Then what is it in http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302632886396 when you select AB glue? It smells like superglue. Both tubes smell similar to superglue, but slightly different from each other. -- Oh my goodness what a caper, someone's ****ed on the magic paper. |

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. One part superglue remains liquid "out of the tube" and remains liquid for some considerable time when not used to join items together. Possibly what you have had in the past is a superglue with a activator in the form of a gel rather than an activator in the form of a spray and you have not correctly followed the instructions. I don't follow. When I've had single part superglue, I find it cures itself very quickly, perhaps once spread onto one surface - it reacts with the material and quickly dries before you get the other surface onto it. When I've had two part superglue, nothing happens when I spread it onto each surface, until I press them together then it hardens. -- Reboot - to kick a computer in such a way that it turns off and then on again. |

On delicate repairs I often put a drop of superglue on a plastic food bag and then use the tip a pin or needle to pick up a small amount to apply to the surface to be joined I ca do this for minutes before joining the two broken bits. When I've had two part superglue, nothing happens when I spread it onto each surface, until I press them together then it hardens. And what happens if you mix the two parts before applying them to the surfaces to be joined? -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |
