Which Super Glue Brand is the Best? Let's find out! 

We use Loctite 404 at work, so I'd love to see how that compared to the Loctite you tested.

Hey project farm love the videos you post and the testing you do. A cool video idea I have is Bungie cords. - hook strength / hook types. - stretching - weathering - flat strap vs cord - solid rubber vs fabric over elastic. - and of course cheapest to most expensive brand.

Q bond glue

Bob Smith superglue

I didn't see LePage in the testing. Perhaps LePage is more popular in Canada. The packaging looks / reads to be very similar to Loctite.

Thanks and you are welcome!

EU as well

We got Amazon too :)

BW Bacon Well said!

Why do ya always suck pole

Thanks so much!

It's because he keeps bias out of it. If he finds a product that is better than the one he usually uses he's probably like dang! I'll use that now

I’m just addicted to this guy’s videos; all these tests involve products that I use.

He does come across as honest and I'm really impressed with how he creates really logical tests for a variety of tools/products etc. But we really don't know if he is accepting cash/donations/equipment for giving favourable reviews. It wouldn't be that hard to get away with, but in saying that I don't think he is, but a healthy dose of skepticism is important.

Thank you!

I'd add that it's a really good idea to try to squeeze out as much air as you can as you put the cap on. Between that and the fridge, there's no reason you can't get many months if not a year out of a thing of super glue, if you don't find you use it that much.

Just need to eliminate moisture. Just keep all the silicate bags from products and put em in the jar with glue tubes.

​@@inq752isn't it air that technically ruins super glue?

That can a disadvantage you meant to say right.

Thanks for sharing.

Trying to cap and save a tube of glue is a lost cause. You might as well count on one use or application per tube.

I am just studying this problem, apparently you should store it in the freezer in a plastic baggy to prevent air getting to it.

I'll try buying Loctite next time just based on that report. Superglue formulations must have changed over the years. I can remember being able to keep it around for quite some time at room temperature provided it was sealed up well. Now, it's use one drop and it's guaranteed useless next time you need it.

I have bottle of locktite that has survived for several years now. I store it standing up in a drawer where it's dry and room temperature. Very impressed that it is still usable.

Thanks so much!

Hello. 👋🙂

Everytime I need to add stuff in my workshop I'm passing by this channel. 😎

These days for me, it's a let down when I need to buy something and there's no Project Farm video to help sort the good stuff from the fluff. The world could use 12 more channels like this. Sponsorship ALWAYS blurs the lines. Support our hero!

TOO BAD THERE WERE NO HAIR TESTS WOULDA WON HANDS DOWN

😂😂😂

MAN I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS! BAHAHAHA 🤣

You just need to be absolutely certain that's a hairstyle you want to keep for a very long time.

Too soon....

Si vous plait SHUT UP

lol. Yes, it does work very well on skin.

Yeah, i once accidentally super glued my fingers together, but i had researched years before what to do if ever that happens.. 40°C (104°F) degrees heat would loosen it's strength, so i boiled water and kept dipping my fingers in and out because i can't resist the heat, and eventually my fingers were free.

Slap some on your lips

Last night at a science thing at my school and I accidentally super glued my finger to a piece of balsa wood

According to its creator, super glue was used to temporarily close wounds in the Vietnam war, while the injured were being transported to hospitals for stitches.

Nice! Great product. Thank you

I used the actual super glue brand. I've had bad luck with the Loctite brand getting stuck in the cap.

Me too, loctite aswell as loctite x8, husqvarna trimmer line, LLP tape and frogtape. Thanks Project farm...

Between Loctite and Gorilla glue, I'd say Gorilla glue has less trouble with the cap being glued on. Loctite always end up being glued when the bottle is halfway empty. I still manage to take it off by flexing it and prying it off with a flathead screwdriver, but it's sure annoying. Always wipe off the glue on the tip before putting the cap back.

Vital Information it is quite amazing that the dirt cheap superglue is actually very good

Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.

I work in trades and that is also the exact same super glue I use. Amazing control & great adhesion, never have to worry about it drying. Might be pricy but worth it imo for a better finished product and for it to be working when you need it

You are welcome!

Wow! Thank you

love your humor

As funny as this is I have used loctite super glue on my hands before and have yet to have injred myself pulling it off.

@@garethbaus5471 They had to nerf all super-glues about 12 years ago because of people like Mr Huff'n'Puff

@@garethbaus5471 You can WD40

Loctite makes a great super glue for sure.

I would says Krazy glue, you can buy it at the dollar store for $1

Caleb Turner Month late but krazy is good for only 1$

Absolutely! Loctite is the best; also best value.

Really?

He is a true one-man Consumer Reports! And he puts a lot of thought and common sense into how he does his testing. Someone should give him a fully equipped research lab so he can rise to world class.

Thanks and you are welcome!

Thank you so much 😀

Great recommendation. I'll do better on this.

Thank you kind sir.

@@ProjectFarm I loved the testing methods you used.

@@ProjectFarm could you display all the charts at the end.

" IN MY HUMBLE OPINION "Can never be sued for defamation because this is just testing using common tools for the consumer to use and test for yourself. Corporation's are not people,has the world gone crazy ....Glue you make the call?

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

#SuperJamster1 Fully agree

Would be nice if he didn't use imperial though...

it would be nice if there was only one single standard of measurement and they stuck with it... but that will never happen, because they would only sell 1/2 as many tools.

That's metric, america just won't let go of imperial though...

Yea they hired me to hit him but I was like no way he is cool go f yourselves and don't let me catch you doing this again or you will pushing up daisies.

If they put out great products they wouldn't have to worry...

Thanks!

You are welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Project Farm tested and approved product. I love it!

Please register "Project Farm" as a Trade Mark to be used in commerce as " Rated Number One on Project Farm".

You are welcome!

Thanks, will do!

It's a great product!

I too am a retired machinist and Loctite was always our go to used a lot of bearing mount.

I'm a carpenter / general contractor and I've always trusted the Loctite brand I'm also no mechanic but I've always worked on my own vehicles and trucks and equipment. I would have to say though some of their newer products that they put their name on are surprising like their power grab cock the shit is junk I cannot even believe they would put their name on that shit so even though I do trust their brand I'm very skeptical of these days

Yep, as an appliance repair tech we use it in our industry for use with refrigeration. The Lokring tool, which uses crimp style connectors using loctite is taking place of torch brazing for sealed systems because of new butane Refrigerants the industry is switching to. Cant use torches with flammable refrigerant.

Robert Salmon I put that shit on everything

Thank you!

You are on the right track, my friend! Your videos are entertaining the way the old mythbusters used to be, before it became pointless to watch them. Keep up the good work!

Cesar Perez Right. I hate to say it but less and less producers on RU-vid make proper good content like this channel. He well deserves my sub, likes and views!

Cliff they are satisfying to me too! Glad to know I'm not the only one that likes to masturbate to stuff like this.

Yeah man, great testing vid with very interesting results. Have to say loctite wone, even with a straight average that last pic score. Is just to much of a victory. With good showings in all other tests.

You are welcome!

Thanks for the feedback.

Wow, thank you!

Thank you for doing this, Greg. We all know the intense work that it takes in designing, setting up, filming, and concluding analyses of these products; including the presentation work with the graphs and charts. Therefore, having someone helping in creating comparative grids to report the findings is a great way to help Project Farm in his endeavor to keep unbiased testing alive. Glad to see you both working as a team like that.

My conclusion from this testing is that there is no single best super glue. It depends on the application.

@@risajajr My conclusion is that each test needed a sample size of more than 1 per adhesive, tbh. Maybe it'll get revisited? The sample size was a big problem but the methodology was great, I thought.

Thank you, it seems PF adopted this approach and I for one find it very helpful. So thank you!

LOL! Thank you for this recommendation!

Sounds like an expensive test but it needs to be done. for science!

😂

Apart from the golden rule of repeatability

RumpelForeskin Why do you say that? He is stating all relevant parameters, so one could repeat all the tests?

Yes, but the results aren't valid unless you can show they're reliable by repeating the test

Computerman 21 i came here to see which one to sniff. Im dissapointed

You are welcome! Glad to hear!

Mostly... should be noted that it really depends on the kind of force expected for the metal to endure... As he showed there was a different winner in each of the different metal tests...

Scotch worked better for metal

Montage Central Only in 1 of the tests.

My luck and experience is that none of the super glues work on anything I wish to stick together. They only work on gluing my fingers together (accidentally). I guess that's how "medical" super glues were discovered!

If you sprinkle baking powder on super glue, it's strength increase by up to 5 times. Not joking

What is Project Farm certified never heard of it

What is Farm tested certified??? Would love to know about the certification thanks

@@frankmarburger6587 it doesnt exist, but it should

Thank you very much!

It's amazing on plastic!

Except that nobody uses superglue (of any brand) when working on their sprinkler system.

How will it work on a "rearview mirror" on windshield glass?

i know by experience that locktite(my go to brand) doesnt work on steel to glass on a mirror.i have also tried another brand at the time and didnt work for long either.i am a ford tech of 20 years and just decided to try it instead of the made for it regular glue.my advice,regular glue wins.my 2 cents

Thanks rooster. All "rear view" mirror glues eventually fail. Just tying to figure out the best. Also if I use a plastic nub instead of a metal nub, it may hold longer with a certain type of glue ( plastic on glass), until the plastic nub breaks...

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you very much for the positive comments! It means a lot receive such positive comments and motivates me to keep making videos comparing products. Thanks again!

You are welcome, that is the least we can do as you are investing a lot of creativity, ingenuity and time designing your tests - have a nice Labor Day weekend, thank you again, Ciao, L

Lancelot, you may be an engineer by trade (been there long enough so got the title), but not by education. There is no sound science behind using a sample size of 1 for anything. You are making real engineers look bad.

Ram Ram Where do you see a sample size of one?

@@garysarratt1 the pvc test

I agree. Loctite seemed to be the best overall.

oh I am sold on loctite for sure! I have always used it for plastic stuff and after seeing this I will never switch products EVER!

The results certainly are all over the place. From a scientific standpoint I am skeptical. I think for tests like these, more samples are very necessary.

agreed, same with the prices for the stuff! however..loctite has always been my go to...or gorilla just personal prefrence

The place I used to work we used quite a lot of theese CA glues, we mostly used different types of loctite 401, 406, 435 some 3M branded stuff and few other, but there were just theese 1 part out of 50 that failed for no obvious reason. So if you only make 1 test for each glue it might just be the one that failed. So I just say there are some variables in gluing that sometimes the glue fails.

Thanks and you are welcome!

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

It's a great product!

Project Farm It’s the only one that we have at the house. It’s been open several years and hasn’t dried up in the bottle like crazy glue.

and there have better super glue in there line up. the stuff shown here is just there house hold grade

there?

Yeah I used a tiny amount of that stuff, like the tip of a toothpick, to fix my keyboard. I snapped a key post. It's held up for 2 years now.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you very much! Welcome!

Thank you!

Thank you for this recommendation!

Project Farm *My pleasure. Posting something like that at the end ould save you from having to point out which product did the best, and you could leave it up to the viewer to decide for themselves which one came out on top, or in thus case which one worked best for a specific application. Some might one that holds plastic better, while others might be more interested in metal.* *Putting a spreadsheet at the End of the video showing how each product did side by side for each application that you tested for would be a big help to us flunkies out here in InternetLand...🤔🤔😩* *And thanks for doing these vids. I always find them both entertaining and informative. I also appreciate your thinking on the fly and doing your inventive ways to do the tests and or modify equipment in order to accomplish them. Pretty darn cool guy... Looks like you have fun doing them too... couldn't ask for anything more in doing a job on line. Lucky S.O.B.! Just a wee bit jealous here...lol Keep up the great work. Peace...* 😎

dont you think all the bold lettering is a little over the top?

Blox117 Not when the only computer I have to write with is my Galaxy 6 phone. So, no, I don't think it is. Thanks for the input tho. Have a warm week if you can... it's freezing here!

A spreadsheet would add a lot of value. Please do it

LOL

Jax But Jax your glasses do not weigh a ton 😁

There's a special cement for plastic if thats your application. I buy it on Ebay. Loctite Super Glue Plastics Bonding System with Activator 2-Gram (681925)

@@georgebuck2269 A drop of JB weld would work aswell, and may even be far stronger. JB Weld is miraculously strong for some applications.

Glasses get oil from your skin on them, did you wash them with detergent and dry them before gluing?

if a plumber rocked up at your place, ready to fix your leaking pipes with loctite, you'd say? 'hold my beer, I'll call your ambulance'

Wouldn’t that be an bad idea because the stuff would be in the water or what ever in it

Thank you for this recommendation!

Thanks so much!

You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestions.

Project Farm please do this

Mower Man gx85 good call

Yassss

I agree. Wood glue would be cool. Test it on a hard wood like oak.

Thanks!

Thank you!

@@ProjectFarm just saw the Flex Seal guy on TV claiming his super glue holds 2 tons per drop! Time for another test! 😄

Thanks!

All CA glue has a shelf life. There's one made by Titebond that supposedly has an extended storage life. You can store any CA glue in your freezer to extend its storage life. You need to allow the glue to warm up to room temperature before you use it. Can't put it back into the freezer either.

Locite cures in the absence of air and bottle cycles air through it even with it on, so even though they have they a self life of a year, they'll still be good to go for a very long time. Loctite is def the way to go

Jesus Jim you must have a lot of time on your hands , get a hobby

Gorilla Glue is very similar, they could reseal and create a vacuum at the same time but, that would probably cut into their sales that is why I no longer buy the large size, but the smallest size available. Loctite and 3M set the standards for other companies to follow!

Planned obsolescence.😒

Thank you for the feedback!

You are welcome! Glad to hear!

I also switched from Gorilla to Loctite after this video

Metal to metal, loctite. Metal to wood, gorilla.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Great point and thank you

Sam .. Exactly! ..and better said than I would have. These tests seem well done with a "fun" spirit to them, … so maybe asking a semi-amateur "consumer reports" guy to do a LOT of "lab work" would feel tedious, but even a sample size of 3 for each example would improve result values..

If you have a problem with how thorough he is, try watching hobby ladies do reviews on their craft products. 20 minutes later you still have no idea, and all the ladies in the comments just tell you to buy the most expensive one and stop asking questions. For a free view, this is more than I expect.

@@jaednhowlar2359 Pretty sure there are "hobby ladies" that know well their tools.

True, although these are are DIY kind of scientific tests, neither completely amateur nor laboratory-level. Otherwise, it's possible that they wouldn't have become popular (if they were "too sophisticated")...

i looked up silicone oil for use in my air guns on Amazon, and found a crap load of "sexual lubricants" LOL

TRUST CHRIST OR GO TO HELL lol holy crap Anyways silicone 'personal' lube as oil would be interesting. Dot 5 brake fluid is silicone based. Wonder how it would behave.

Consumer reports? This is 2020 who the fuck reads that ?

Consumer reports lost all credibility more than 12 years..... It is now just considered a gimmick for the uninformed....

Consumer reports are rigged, how else do they survive without endorsements, if you look closely at their bests, you will see that all are the same every year. Just like schools or scientists, who lie for their funding to go on. If they told the truth the money would dry up.
