One of our customers, Chuck, wrote in to tell us about his unique woodworking hobby and how super glue helps:  “I’ve been sculpting various vessels lately, from bowls to candle holders, starting from multiple glued-up layers of MDF (medium density fiberboard) and then carving the build-up with various power tools, from chain saws to grinders to disk sanders.  Obviously I require Super Glue’s strength here, because the glue joints undergo considerable stress during the tooling, especially as the wall of a vessel becomes thinner and thinner.  But a more important advantage of Super Glue is the almost instant set time.  Clamping these many layers all at once with normal woodworking glue would be extremely awkward, inaccurate, and time-consuming.  Whereas with Super Glue I can add layers one at a time, squeezing each new layer with my hands for the specified 15 seconds, almost like using contact cement (but faster, and with re-positioning briefly possible).”

[Super Glue Blogger's Note:  Super Glue Corporation sells contact cements, and wood glues, but we can see how super glue would work best for this artist's uses.  Instant adhesives do save time and add strength at the same time.  Thanks for the tip, Chuck!!]
