superglue - used a full tube

[anonymous-user]

Has anyone managed to use a full tube of superglue but not in a single go?

Everytime I buy a tube it ends up getting a blocked nozzle and being thrown away before it is anywhere near empty.

Nope

Often at work- but then I do have to put together prototype model kits that can have 2-300 parts in :-)

Read the book on it.......... I couldn't put it down....

This should be made a sticky.

Most of the cheap stuff from the Poundylandy type places is OK. Main advantage is that they are supplied in 10-12 tiny tubes. Use and throw away.

It's a shame it doesn't bond the object you're gluing back together as well as it bonds the fking lid to the tube!

Stick a pin in the end.

I may get some stick for saying it, but I use Zap-a-Gap. It's available from Axminster Power Tool Centre or Amazon, it's around £5/bottle. If you adhere to the rule of cleaning the nozzle before putting the cap back on, it'll last 5 or 10 years. If it gets blocked, use a pin to reopen it.

Keep it in the fridge. Lasts for years.

Gorilla Glue is where its at these days, SuperGlue is only any good for sticking skin together.

I've just read all the replies - I was glued to this thread.

Not sure about all the tacky quips though

[Pique]

Can everyone adhere to the rules on puns?

Lets all get a grip.

[rxtx]

I'm sure we can squeeze a few more puns out of it.

Yep, average a tube every other month at work. Mainly patching up the cheap stty steal toe capped boots the company provide

Goes something like:

Me: "These 3month old boots are fked, Can I have a new pair please?"

Manager: "you can glue it"

Tell him that he can stick his job up his arse then

You mean 'steel' not 'steal' btw
