Is it my imagination or did superglue become less cohesive through the years? You know, for the sake of protecting idiots from themselves.

RC airplane model building has never been the same since. I can put my wrecks back together at the crash site to fly and crash again and again.

Eastman 910. Almost impossible to purchase at retail before it became “Super Glue.” It was great stuff.

I just used some, and even waiting 24 hours for the glue to cure I was able to pull the objects apart with very little effort.

It’s mostly a waste of time for me anymore. Back in the day, it bonded solid, good as new, after a few minutes.

Well, what do you know? I agree with Obama on at least one thing. (Even if it is merely a ceremonial duty.)

Super Glue is probably the most disappointing innovation in modern history, IMHO.

I love Gorilla Glue...a bit of a learning curve due to the required moisturizing, but once you figure it all out the stuff is great.
I used about four ounces to shore up a wooden gate post, since it was handier than running out to buy Quick-crete; it bubbled up, set, and works like a charm.
