Glue

[audi321]

I'm always needing a glue for some reason around the house, and I normally stick to 2 types. Araldite for strength and superglue for speed.

But is there something inbetween? I've alway found araldite to be a bit rubbery when set, I like the way superglue sets like concrete, but unless you're using it thinly it takes an age to go off and there's not an instant grab.

Any recommendations? Ideally there'd be a quick setting superglue which had a gloopy texture. I've even tried Gorilla Superglue, but it's no different to the normal superglue really.

Try Z-poxy 5 minute. They do a 20 min aswel. Really good stuff.

Araldite a bit rubbery? I can't say about the 'rapid' version, but if you are getting 'rubbery' from the proper stuff then something is going wrong somewhere.

If you need something to stay stuck, and especially if gap filling is needed, then standard Araldite is good stuff. Make sure it's 50/50, warm the tubes with a hairdryer before dispensing, and warm the adhesive after mixing until it goes runny and transparent, and it will set hard and strong.

JB Weld - they do various types.

UHU is actually quite good round the house. Poundland and DIY stores sell it, probably supermarkets too. It doesn't go off when it's opened either, so when you go to use it in 3 months time it is still ok.

Using superglue, go for a good brand like Zap and use the kicker they sell too. Apply the glue, bring two pieces together, spray with kicker and the job's done. Then spend next hour biting the solid set lump of glue off your fingers
