Hello everyone,

I just bought a bottle of LocTite and I cannot seem to get the top off.


Have you tried drilling a hole down thru the cap and pouring paint thinner
in?

IIRC, Bob Villa is advertising a new laser guided wrench for that specific
problem ... DAGS.

I'd have to go look at my bottle, but are you sure the top is supposed to
come off?
I have a small pipe wrench that will take about anything off.

A couple of drops of UnTite should do.

I was going to suggest he tturn the cap in the opposite direction.
But upon careful consideraon of your suggeston, I believ your
suggsestion is prorbably more useful then my own.

No, but at least you know the stuff works!

Seriously, is it a plastic bottle? Did you try holding it with 2 pairs
of pliers or in a vise? Heat will often work when removing fasteners
that have been loctited (that is a verb, isn't it?) but if it's a
plastic bottle, that would be iffy. I guess in a worst case, you
could cut or break the bottle and transfer the contents to
another container.

I remember reading somewhere - that is one of the great mysteries of life...

If it's that good at what it does, why doesn't the top stick to superglue
bottles/tubes?

:¬)

A mechanical engineering student was asked to turn off the water in a
lab and it was interesting to see him try counter-clockwise with no
results then watch him saying to himself whatever words he used and
turn the hose bib the correct way.

That's because it isn't as good at its job as the advertisers want you
to believe.
It has limited application only. No adhesive, to my knowledge, will
glue polyethyline, which is used to make bottles for SuperGlue and
other things.

Although not as strong as wood/wood bonds, polyethylene adhesives do
exist. For instance:

Interesting. But those are more for mechanical bonds? ADhesion as
opposed to COhesion?

After you posted that, I also learned that there are dozens of
different polyethylenes. Who knew?

I can't imagine anything sticking to the white-ish milky polyetylene
(milk bottles/Tupperware).
In my countertop endeavors, I have been asked by butcher shops to make
'edges on huge cutting boards', and the only way I have even been to
achieve that, is by having a specialist 'hot-wire' welding technician
do it. They literally melt both sides of the joint. Those guys swear
there isn't glue that will work.

I am going to write away for samples. It would help me a great deal if
I could glue that stuff.

Thanks for the heads-up, Chris.

Is this why you don't post very often anymore--so you can realize a
larger catch when you do?

Take it back and try another one before you buy it - OR - let SWMBO try to
open it.

David,

Izzat a variation on "I've fallen down and can't get up"?

The newer bottles don't have screw tops. They just pull off.

Better yet, give it to a kid. Works for safety caps.

Dozens? There are hundreds.

There are no known solvents for Polyethlylene, Polypropylene or Nylon.
That's why there are no adhesives for any of them. Or at least any
that are truly good.

I recall reading the the adhesive in Loc Tite (TM) is anaerobic. It
hardens
in the absence of oxygen, while the presence of oxygen prevents it
from hardening. So it is bottled with an air bubble deliberately left
in the bottle to preserve it.
