This is a thread to share cool stuff you've found. Stuff that is great & works great. Stuff that solves problems in a better-than-average way. Stuff that other people may not be aware exists! Services are OK too! Today's product:
Loctite squeeze-grip Superglue gel:
Just found this stuff at Home Depot:
Why it's great:
1. It has a nozzle tip, so it's easy to place the glue precisely where you want it
2. The cap also breaks the tip when you reverse-twist it, so you don't need scissors or a needle
3. The glue is a gel, so it's not all runny. I haven't gotten any CA (cyanoacrylate) on my hands due to this, because I'm not scrambling to hold something or wipe up drips.
4. The sides are designed for finger-squeezing, so you can dole out exactly how much glue you want. This, combined with the gel consistency, is maaaaaarvelous!
5. Compatible with the usual suspects (metal, rubber, ceramics, wood, leather, paper, and most plastics)
This is one of those minor-but-amazing designs...the gel alone is utterly fantastic, because it's more of a paste than a liquid, so you don't have to fiddle with stuff as much. The squeeze design, nozzle, and cap system is just brilliant. It makes using superglue soooooo much nicer for all of those little jobs you have to do, from gluing a shoe back together or rubber feet back on an appliance.
