Anyone out there using this stuff?
I'm going to get some after I watched the tensile pull to destruction test on the net..
WOW !! The metal broke before the glue did !!!
I really hope it is all they advertize it to be !!

From my experience---It worked really well. My only complaint was that it is similar to "super glue" in that the shelf life is limited, especially after opening. I purchased a small container and used only a few drops. I sealed it good and one month later, it was so thick I had to dig some out to use. Two weeks later, it was set up hard in the container.
 
I got a big bottle about a year ago and I'm still using it. Don't know what happened to yours.

Cool trick of the day--------(pun intended)
Store your Super glue in the frig----it will last a long time.
 
Used it a couple of times and that was enough. Never worked as good as Devcon's 1 hour epoxy or others I still use.
 
I keep a bottle of CA in the freezer. It lasts several years that way.

Moisture in the air will cause it to set up prematurely.

If you want to make it set up FAST and fill gaps, apply the CA and sprinkle some baking soda on it.
 
Hey Guys

Being you are talking about glues and such. I have a question for you. I have to make a taperd gib. I need to glue this thing down to machine it. But I need to have it release after I get through machining it, with heat or solvents.

The question being, what has the best grip,? and will still be able to release it after wards? I dont see any other easy way of holding on to the work piece while doing machining operations.
The material would be cast iron as well.
 
Sometimes if you leave the part a little long, or wide, you can machine the piece complete, then cut off the excess you were gripping or clamping. If you are gluing it down, I would still try to rough it out holding it conventionally if possible, then use a CA to hold it for finish cutting, and take only light cuts. This also gives the material time to move if it is going to, so you end up with a straighter part. Cast iron shouldn't give you any problems in that regard though.
 
I really haven't found any difference in any of the CA glues. I suspect they are all bought by the various brands in 55gl drums from the same place and packaged. I don't build RC airplanes anymore so I only need a dab of it once in a while so I just buy 3 packs of little tubes use them and throw them away after they are opened.

If you go to a RC hobby store you can buy "kicker" that makes it harden instantly which is really great for things it tends to soak into and take forever to harden. You can also get debonder there and CA ranging from ultra-thin to thick gap filling.

Fingernail polish remover works well as a debonder.

Yes yes yes...all good stuff..
But does anyone have any first hand experience with gorilla glue,
and is it as wonderfull as they claim?
They advertize that because it has rubber particles in the mix,
it is far superrior to any old school super glues...
I'm going to get some and report back with layman test results.
