Looking for 2 part superglue

No. It is not.

"In general, cyanoacrylate is an acrylic resin that rapidly polymerises in the presence of water (specifically hydroxide ions), forming long, strong chains, joining the bonded surfaces together. "

Simple answer? Bob is simply wrong.

I dont know what glue he is thinking of, but superglue it aint.

Oh dear.

You are even more wrong than I supposed

It does set in the tube. At least after opening.

I've found Pound Shop little bottles not too bad. 3 for a quid. I've used the same bottle for months.

I just tried searching for Loctite on Ebay and it just came up with lots of single part superglue.

Then what is it in

when you select AB glue? It smells like superglue. Both tubes smell similar to superglue, but slightly different from each other.

I don't follow.

When I've had single part superglue, I find it cures itself very quickly, perhaps once spread onto one surface - it reacts with the material and quickly dries before you get the other surface onto it.

When I've had two part superglue, nothing happens when I spread it onto each surface, until I press them together then it hardens.

Unless the surface was damp a application of fresh one part superglue should have remained liquid. On delicate repairs I often put a drop of superglue on a plastic food bag and then use the tip a pin or needle to pick up a small amount to apply to the surface to be joined I ca do this for minutes before joining the two broken bits.

And what happens if you mix the two parts before applying them to the surfaces to be joined?

Why don't you buy two part superglue then ?

Did nobody think to google it? From Wikipedia: "Because the presence of ****moisture**** causes the glue to set, exposure to normal levels of ****humidity in the air**** causes a thin skin to start to form within seconds,"

He enjoys the excitement of the risk he takes of it touching his nose, when he sniffs single part?

I'd guess because it's not called superglue and the shopkeeper shakes his head at him. Wouldn't you?

I'd do much more than just shake my head at him, most of the things that come to mind are illegal. :-D

One finger stuck to his nose and another five stuck to his dick

As I understand it, it can draw water out of plastic by chemical reaction (plastic contains C, H, O, so you can get H2O). On some plastics the reaction is so fast you get smoke.

Never tried that, was I supposed to? The instruction were in Chinese so I ignored them.
