Loctite Super Glue Gel, Clear, 2g Tube, 2 Tubes Total

A good super glue in a small, easy to use tube for many uses; but it did not work for my project…keeping those little plastic bulbs in a ceramic Christmas tree. Guessing the two surfaces need to make a more flat/solid contact. The instructions indicate that it will work for the 2 materials I was using it on; but perhaps because there are tiny, irregular gaps between the bulbs and slots…it prevented solid contact, causing insufficient surface adhesion. The “bulbs” were somewhat adhered; but they wiggled like a loose tooth. I even removed and reapplied them, using more generous application, with the same results.

I have been a die-hard Krazy Glue user but have made the switch to Loctite. When a store I was at was out of Krazy Glue, I "settled" for Loctite as I had something I really wanted to get repaired and I didn't want to make another stop. Product worked very well - no complaints. Here's the reason for the switch. For months thereafter, every time I used that same tube of Loctite, it was like I was using it for the first time. I cannot tell you how many tubes of super glue of various brands - including Krazy - that I have had to toss out long before they were used up due to them drying out and despite my attention to detail when sealing and storing them. I actually used an entire tube of Loctite - not a drop left - before discarding - and placing the order I am reviewing today. EXCELLENT PRODUCT. Wish it hadn't taken me so long to discover it but I am really glad I eventually did.

I've used many Loctite products. Almost all with success. In this case, I bought the product for future use, as I do with many other types of glue, especially specialty glues and super-type glues. Turns out this particular two-part glue has a major shelf life limitation. Go past that shelf life and the small tube of glue hardens and is unusable. Nowhere in the description on Amazon or on their packaging do they explain the shelf life limitation. When I complained to the company I was told that I needed to go to their Tecnical Data Sheets. I wonder how many purchasers do that before buying their product. Turns out ALL their products have shelf life limitations but nothing is disclosed unless you first do some major research. They've got to be kidding! Overall, I like most Loctite products and use them. But now I need to be more cautious about when to purchase them. The date code is stamped on the bottom of the crimp on the tubes. Check it out and see if you can be sure what the shelf life date is. Or is the number strictly for Loctite's purposes? Boo to you, Loctite.

Just went to use these tubes of super glue and both of them were hard as a rock and had no usable glue. Complete rip off. I'm sad.

Once you open these little tubes and start squeezing, you have to reshape the tube to get it to stop expelling. Maybe this is typical of the foil tubes, but it's super inconvenient! Then, as long as the product is still wet, whatever you're trying to bond will not bond. Set it and forget it! Once dry, the hold is very good but, can be brittle and easy to crack, depending on what you're bonding. I tried to fix sunglasses, no go, I glued an enamel pin to a bookbag, it's still holding. So, this product is what it is, comparable to crazy glue.

Good stuff

perfecto

The two tubes of super glue I received were both unusable and completely dried out. When I tried to use one, I realized the insides were solid and hard like a rock. There were no punctures on either tube, but both had the same issue. I have used the brand previously, but this set was a complete waste of money without any quality control. Many recent reviews mention a similar issue too, so its not an isolated incident. Don't buy and try another brand.

Not bad product u can use it .... But the price not worthy

It works.
