      Glue, sealants and adhesives in general are a massive part of the worldwide chemical industry and used in bulk by practically every single manufacturing process… it’s kind of wild how much of modern technology is basically dependent on “haha funny organic chemical be stickyyyyy”

        By the time you need them they’ll all be dry and you’ll go buy five more. Like a chump.

          Not sure if this is helpful, but I’ve been using the gel gorilla glue version of super glue for a few years and I haven’t had any that dried out (yet).

            Gorilla products are top of the line in every way, every product. Now that I’m broke I can’t buy their shit anymore, but it’s well worth the $.

            Moisture activated. Needs exposure to air to cure, so it can’t actually “dry out” in the normal sense.

    🤦‍♂️ It’s not a “super glue”. It’s a “super” glue.

    This doesn’t appear to compete with cyanoacrylate (yet); they created a hot-melt stick and compared it against a commercially available hot-melt stick .

      I’m still excited then because I’d love a more versatile hot glue.

        Oh. So am I! I didn’t mean to sound dismissive of it. I was just frustrated by the articles title because it is a different application (both method and use-case) than “super glue”.
