Paper Cuts & Super Glue
August 21st, 2009Marine Worm Generates New “Waterproof” Super Glue!
August 19th, 2009
According to an article in “Science News” 8.18.09 by Rachel Ehrenberg researchers are studying a new formula superglue coming from a Marine Worm (see picture). “The glue is secreted from a special gland and hardens in less than 30 seconds underwater, forming a leatherlike consistency over several hours.”
WOW! This is cool stuff and our lab, at Super Glue Corporation headquarters, will be following this research closely!
Solutions for Super Glue Fuming/Blooming under Glass

In this blog post the artist recycles old gears, glass cases, and movement plates to create beautiful pendants – truly works of art!
The artist noted that ”the only trouble I ran into with these was the fact that the fumes from superglue will fog the glass covers”. While super glues have great bonding powers; fuming or blooming (vapor as part of the curing process) can sometimes occur on dark substrates, or enclosed transparent substrates. Once the glue dries the vapors disappear, but not if they are trapped inside a closed space or dark substrate.
Two products we suggest using to get around this problem, on projects like this, are glass adhesive or even rear view mirror adhesive! Glass adhesive bonds well, but is not traditional super glue and doesn’t have fuming/blooming issues and rear view mirror adhesive contains a primer that you can apply to the glass substrate prior to applying the super glue which should alleviate the problem.
We love creative projects like these beautiful pendants. Let us know if you have technical difficulties when using our products – we love a challenge and get great joy out of fixings things!
Dental Labs like Super Glue in Bottles
August 10th, 2009Here’s a great customer story from Helen P. She’s talking about our super glue bottles : “We use this product in a dental laboratory to glue articulators a KV33 Corp product. They hinge and give you the exact position of the upper and lower of the mouth. We originally used a product similar to yours that was in a tube at $10.00 a tube and had to spray the glue and it would sometimes make foam even on our hands. This product of yours I picked up at the Dollar Store and we were hooked. It was easy to use and we were able to pin point the area to apply it to and did not get it on our hands. Plus the fact that after OSHA enacted some of their rules the other glue would run on the rubber gloves we were using and the rubber would adhere even to our hands so your product has been a boon to us. I believe you could cater this product to the dental laboratories as it does not require the spray also and is much more economical to use and with less mess and waste. Thank you and hope what I am telling you will help other professions with this wonderful product.” We appreciate hearing from our customers!
“Rail Zip is used on all our exhibition layouts & gives superb results.”
August 10th, 2009We love hearing from our customers. This story recently came in from Peter C in the UK. “…our local model railway (railroad to you guys) club uses many of your products including superglues, rail zip etc because quite simply they are the best. I use rail zip on our exhibition layout and recommend it to many here in the UK as the best means of cleaning track. At one show we were asked how our layouts run so well? The answer of course was rail zip. This product means that we can go all weekend without further cleaning of the track and our models run superbly with just a wipe over on the Saturday evening. Some complain that it leaves a residue but we explain that they seem to be using it incorrectly. It’s best put on then left overnight before a thorough clean as rail zip continues working after it is applied. A fantastic product and I do hope that you continue to export to the UK …” [Note: We will absolutely continue exporting to the UK and more than 60 other countries as well!]
Twitter Sticky Question & Answer
July 29th, 2009Many fellow tweeps, on Twitter, are posing this question on-line: Why doesn’t Super Glue stick to the inside of the tube? According to our on-site lab senior scientist the answer: Chemistry. Super Glue Corporation searches the world over to find metal tubes that are chemically compatible with our cyanoacrylates (also known as CAs or super glues). As long as no air, moisture, or other contaminants are present, and the metal in the metal tube is compatible with the super glue, then the super glue remains liquid throughout its shelf life.
Additionally, Super Glue Corporation uses custom resins for all super glue caps, tips, and bottles to ensure that caps won’t stick to the the super glues. If they ever do stick (once in awhile this might happen after a first use, when excessive amounts of a thicker viscosity gel super glue overflows into the cap) using a disposable towel moistened with acetone, to remove excess super glue, will quickly resolve that sticky issue, and the cap will twist on and off like new.
