Friends, my name is Paul! I am the author of the channel Performer of ideas. On this channel, I present everything I've done with my hands. Creative ideas, useful tips! #DIY #Homemade #Craft
I'm not a chemist, but I'm pretty sure pectin, water, vinegar and glycerin don't add up to cyanoacrylate. Also, basic school glue is adequate for all dry wood gluing applications. Furthermore, unless formulated as cyanoacrylate gel (another mystery to which chemistry holds the key), super glue isn't that thick and is never opaque like that regardless. Finally, super glue is activated by moisture. The moisture in air or ones' breathe is enough to catalyze it. I'm impressed by the apparent success in glueing glass, but whatever kind of glue was made here, it fails to demonstrate the properties of super glue. Super glue should set in 30-60 seconds and achieve full strength in a matter of minutes, which is what it was invented for. The two hour clamp time is outrageous even for Elmer's school glue (except in sub-optimal temperature). Will baking soda accelerate this glue? It will accelerate super glue.
Glue made from boiling hooves and horns was traditionally used in guitar-making and leathercraft. Powdered gelatin comes from the same stuff as well. This glue is strong but yeah, this is not cyanoacrylate IMHO.
It's a much better option for people like me who are allergic to super glue regardless of whether or not it's used in an open, ventilated area. It's also a better option for DIY pet toys (ie for birds, hamsters, mice, etc.) Contrary to what you said, school glue doesn't always work very well to hold wood together... especially for parrot toys.
@@sumanngon yeah but working with gasoline and it's fumes doesn't sound too appealing IMO. I like the option in this video that doesn't create strong fumes. Plus this is more environmentally friendly than super glue or gasoline and Styrofoam for those that care about things like that.
This is NOT super glue. This is a variation of HIDE GLUE. Hide glue is a great reversals glue we use for veneering and antique repair. This particular type is more of a book binding guide glue. It should remain more flexible than simply hide glue. Hide glue is simply a large quantity of gelatin dissolved in water. The glue must remain hot while in use as it will gel as it cold and then garden. It appears the user of glycerin and vinegar here is to help it remain liquid at lower temperatures as well as stay flexible.
Super glue is the common eponym for CA glues which are based on cyanoacrylates, typically ethyl cyanoacrylate; C6H7NO2 aka ECA. It's useful because it very rapidly polymerizes in the presence of moisture, and it's prepared by the condensation of formaldehyde with ethyl cyanACETATE; C5H7NO2 via the following exothermic reaction: NCCH2CO2C2H5 + CH2O → H2C=C(CN)CO2C2H5 + H2O What you made was bootleg hide glue aka "natural" glue and tbh it was impressive and may have some specific use cases where it would possibly be preferred, but off the shelf CA glue will most definitely be cheaper.
Gelatin CAN be used as an inferior substitute for hide glue at a pinch. But hide glue is NOT superglue. Any moisture will loosen the glue joint. It is no use for gluing any material except wood or paper/card. It is used for veneers but is vulnerable to moisture. Hide glue is only suitable for wood if incorporated with well cut wood joints. You can't just glue to pieces of wood together and expect it to hold. Also, I would advise anyone NOT to heat water in a glass jar with a blowtorch! To dissolve hide glue correctly, the glue/water mix must be heated in a double boiler (the glue mix in a pan that is held in a larger pan of boiling water). This is utter nonsense!
You are correct in that hide glue is not super glue. They are two entirely different glues. But gelatin is not an inferior substitute for hide glue. I have made hide glue from scratch and used gelatin. There is no difference. All hide glue is water soluble. Hide glue is useful to bond wood, leather, bone, horn, antler. I've got a sinew backed bow I built 30 years ago and shoot often that is held together with Knox Gelatin hide glue.
Beside that you never use super glue to join wood, paper or cardboard. There are plenty alternatives of wood glue's designed for that, but super glue should be the last and the worst one.
@@wadepolly1798 I admit my description of gelatin as 'inferior' was based on assumption rather than experience. Gelatin dissolves more readily than standard hide glue. There is no difference technically as both are made from hides. Gelatin is more refined as it's intended for culinary use and goes through repeated dilutions before it's suitable for culinary purposes. Hide glue sets to a firmer solid if left in the pot. I'm not saying that gelatin cannot be used as a glue but even purpose made hide glue has its limitations. It can be used as a stand alone adhesive when spread over flat surfaces such as veneers. But every other kind of bonding must be reinforced with the mechanical strength of tight fitting joints. Yes, it can bond leather in the same way veneers are bonded. I don't know Knox Gelatin hide glue... but, if it's sold as hide glue, it would be the same as any other hide glue. Hide glue is unrefined gelatin.
Thank you! I'm here looking up how to make wood glue waterproof because I need and don't have super glue and can't afford to buy any. I do however, have all sorts of other chemicals and compounds one would find in a project shop and was hoping I'd stumble across a "secret" like adding oil based polyurethane or some such combo. This is the second video I've stopped on and happen to have all of these ingredients. I'm trying to glue together a glazed and rather porous pottery container that won't be holding standing water but will be getting moistened periodically. My plan was to layer several coats of shellac on the inside before moving forward with the intended use as a succulent holder. I think that Elmer's would likely work if I coated the inside enough and manage to keep it from ever being penetrated to compromise the glue. Wood glue is a step above white glue, so I've just worked through my own problem while intending to thank you for saving me from a huge mess and unnecessary waste. Much appreciated!
Well Vinigar in that high of a concentration can dissolve skin assuming that's actually 70% vinegar considering cooking vinegar is anywhere from 4 to 5%, cleaning is anywhere from 30 to 45% and gloves are recommended for handling so while not poisonous you'd loose some skin if you spilt it on you and didn't wash your hands right away
This is just hide glue. We have been making it for millennia. It has some serious downsides though, which is why it has largely fallen out of use in favor of modern glues.
Now, spread some on the top of your construction helmet and stick it to the In beam of a skyscraper like they did on the "Crazy Glue" commercial and we'll see if it holds you from splattering on the pavement below! 😅
I have a 24 hour Osco drugstore and a Wal-Mart within walking distance and I usually have at least $4.00 in my pocket. It seems much easier to simply walk over to the store. I can pickup a Tombstone pizza and some Past Blue Ribbon while I'm there. That sounds a whole lot better than sitting sadly at home, eating a peanut butter sandwich and water making my own glue! I'll leave this sort of thing to "The Professor" on "Gilligan's Island. But, to each his own, enjoy making your homemade glue! 🙄
Yes, Cyanoacrylate glues like Super Glue and Krazy Glue typically dry in seconds. This is Not that. This guy is probably showing us something his grandfather learned. Good thing vinegar isn't flammable...
That was as expected, I use a different method and disolve Polyistyrene packaging into glue with acetone it is quick and simple. the results are the same. the wood splinters before the joint gives up. Mainly only good on porous surfaces.
I did the math and the items being bought at Amazon brakes down to: Distilled water 1 gallon = $2.19 Vinegar 75% 1 gallon=$44.98 Gelatin 32ct= $14.42 Glycerin 1 gallon=$14.42 Total for each batch: $.71 Distilled water= $.02 Vinegar =$.18 Gelatin =$.45 Glycerin= $.062
This reminds me of an old book "The War Guide Book" published during WW2 in the US. It had instructions on how to make a large number of ersatz household products from then more available basic ingredients, as well as how to prepare your house for fire, bombs, etc. The results were serviceable but not more than that.
Can't seem to find a book by that particular title. Might it have had a different name? (Sounds like something I'd like to read, if I can track it down.)
Thank you. Whatever glue it is, it seems a lot better than many commercially available glues. Also quick to make. I will use it for many of my applications.
I wonder if the creator here realizes that if this was superglue, the entire container would have been ruined within the first five seconds, as the entire container makes contact with moisture in the air, and starts to cure. I wonder if the creator knows the difference between Cyanoacrylates and Hide Glue, or does he think "Hey, they are both sticky..."
@@SeeFreeTV it might take a total time of minutes, but it STARTS within seconds. For example, you cannot slather on superglue wait a minute then scrape the excess up and replace it back into the container to be used later, because it has already STARTED curing.
Agree, even in Hungary these components are more expensive like a glue and also the glycerine can be found in certain pharmacies, and you can buy only a limited quantity at once and we have vinegar 20% or less only. But in Russia the regulations concerning chemicals are different than in the EU or USA, you can buy a lot of chemicals in supermarket and they are less expensive.
Correct. This is not superglue either. This is what was called hot glue. It was used in carpentry until the invention of cold wood glue (acrylic glue).
Hmm researching similar brands to those he used, Vinegar £6.88, Gelatin £6.84, Glycerin £2.29, for a total of £16.01 Meanwhile actual Super Glue £5.42 Currency subject to exchange rates. I suppose this would do if you just happened to have those things around the house, and it was a long trip to the shops. Otherwise just get the Super Glue.
@@vincegiltz2888 Yeah you can get cheaper ones here too. I went with the Loctite brand for the example which is a little more expensive, but never the less still cheaper than the hotch potch of ingredients in the video.
What we used to call horse glue as the renderings of dead horses was used for the binder, good for wood and auto fixings can remember the pong of the stuff as a lad early 70's as my father used to mix up a batch of horse and pretty long lasting too.
Back in the day we used to cook up that animal glue stuff on the wood stove in our shop.....I remember how bad it stunk, but it bonded. That's for sure.
This is hide glue; nothing like cyanoacrylate (superglue). Milk glue is even easier to make (milk+vinegar), takes about as long to dry, and works about as well.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@rollozucco209 All the labels match his English descriptions (water, vinegar, gelatin, glycerin). The first bottle isn't part of the recipe; it's what he's trying to make. It says "contact super glue" if you sound it out phonetically. But as everyone else has commented, he makes a version of hide glue, not superglue.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31 '''''''''''''''''''',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Good on you :). I don’t know if you mean Supa Glue or a glue that is super but I appreciate your video. I see the comments below and note their pointers, but this glue will be handy for many things - thank you.
I learned at 5 years old that flour and water, or even horses and cows (Elmer's Glue), can be used for glue. So why people are saying that this is impossible is beyond me!!! Anything starchy or sticky can possibly be glue. Just try it. As long as breathing it won't kill you, I will use the stuff in my house already to make it!!!
A simpler glue can be made by dissolving polystyrene foam in petrol or any solvent.........when the solvent evaporates you have a SUPER glue that will bond with concrete to seal cracks in concrete bowls or concrete floors etc.
@@mariemacfhionghuin11 Yes, it will dry out to a rigid hard gel that can fill cracks in concrete or patch rotten wood.and can be sanded or drilled etc......you can mold it too.
@@gangleweed It also turns into an incredibly hard and impossible to remove puck of carbon when allowed to burn, all the while releasing a noxious soot... I may or may not know this from experience.
👍🏻This is organic super glue, which was used to glue composite horn bows together. All organic materials of any kind should stick together. It's amazing that it also works with plastic.
I'm probably the Lone Ranger here, but I've never like super glue. I always seem to have something that super glue won't stick. Well, I should qualify that, I can always manage to stick one or two of my fingers together, or to a surface; or have on my hand for a week while I'm trying to pick bits of it off!
A tube of cheapo super is .10 oz or 3 g, at $1.25. This made several oz and there’s a 100% vinegar at Walmart for approximately $4, glycerin $4 and gelatin.. This saves me at least $30 right off the bat. AWESOME!! Oh, and by the way, cheap superglue is nowhere near as good as the expensive stuff at seven dollars a bottle. Yes I use it a lot! 🤣
This is great if it works. I literally cannot use any super glue out there because of the fumes (not even outside). There's something in it that immediately makes my eyes burn and water the second I open the cap! If my eyes are watering, I can't see to do what I need to do! And, obviously, the burning is very uncomfortable to say the least. So, I'm stuck with trying to make other glues work, and they don't always work. Also, this is a great non-toxic glue option for DIY pet toys. I have birds and always need non toxic glue recipes to make their toys.
I don't know about most people but isn't the great thing about Super Glue is that it dries quickly and is somewhat cleaner than epoxy, wood glue, etc. Why would I make something where the components of said item are hard to come by? My local gas station sells tubes of Crazy Glue for 3.99.
I've been told, I man, handle things. l could be your tester for items you have glued together. If I don't break it, then it's good. I even have used all kinds of glues, and yes, I have used the baking soda. Superglue and baking soda are really good together, but as I tested the items. I did manage to break it apart. Epoxy and baking soda really held up great. I wasn't able to break the items I glued together. For those who have tried everything to glue something together and not fall apart. Epoxy and a little baking soda will glue quickly.
Each piece off camera is covered with real super glue. Gelatin is collagen boiled from bone and skin. Otherwise Hyde glue used for 150+ years to laminate veneer to wood furniture. Removed by heat. Otherwise, 150 years ago, you rode your horse into town to the "Ye Ole Super Glue Store & Saloon". It's in all the western moves.
cyanoacrylate esters (the generic form of SuperGlue) contain cyanide, acrylic, and an ester like ethel or butyl to keep the molecular chains in suspension until used. You made a less-good hyde glue.
I think it may work, but what happens to the leftover glue? Can you reheat it with that torch and get it soft again to reuse? Or do you have to just dispose of it? I loved the entire video of how you tested each material and strength. Keep up the good work saving us time and money!!! Love from the USA!
It's just highly concentrated gelatine, in other words: super thick jelly or jello, depending on which part of the world you live in. Heating it up would re-liquify it.
A Good And Worthy Idea! I Would Consider Applying It With A Small Ammount\Sprinkle Of Powdered Cement For Long Lasting Effect, Only A Little Powder To Maintain The Glue and Elastic Properties While Ofering Humidity and Temperature Protection From The Cement! Otherwise, Resins Could Be Added For Protection Against Humidity! Good If You Think Of Making Large Quantities, Especially For Food!
While I am sure you successfully mixed up some type glue, you didn't make super glue. The great thing about super glue is how you can glue things INSTANTLY. This rendition is not instant. It glues well, but not cyanoacrylate...
Finally owning a spring of glicerine,one of vinegar and a mine of gelatine pays off..."free super" glue for life...I can start use it instead of nutella
I notice you're glueing wood. You can buy 5 litres of PVA wood adhesive for £15. This adhesion is stronger than the wood it's sticking and it's durable.
