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.
i had studied super Gluaecyano acrylate as a chemist and I can tell you this man's recipe has nothing to do with crazy glue cyanoacrylate what he is doing is paper glue similar to egg yolk which was used as a glue in the old days and other high school glue but never super glue .again super glue is Cyanoacrylate, which is an acrylic monomer that transforms to a plastic state after curing.general chemical formula is CH2=C(CN)CO2R, with R representing an organic-e.g., methyl (CH3)-molecular group. Owing to the highly polar nature of the nitrile (CN) and ester (RCOOR) groups, the two most famous scientists about cyanoacrylate are Dr. Coover who worked for Eastman Kodak and Professor Dr. Khadry Galil an Egyptian in Canada who did extensive research on cyanoacrylate and because of him dr galil Brain aneurysms were successfully treated with Cyano Acrylate
The brain aneurysm thing is absolutely fascinating. I'm going to do research on that now. I just lost a long time friend to a brain aneurysm and it's something I'm unfamiliar with. Thank you for including that information. To think I learned something medical on a diy superglue video.😂❤
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.
This is NOT super glue. This is a variation of HIDE GLUE. Hide glue is a great reversible glue we use for veneering and antique repair. This particular type is more of a book binding glue. It should remain more flexible than simple 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 gets cold and then harden. It appears the use of glycerin and vinegar here is to help it remain liquid at lower temperatures as well as stay flexible.
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
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!
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.
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.
It seems to be a superior wood and paper glue, not so good on plastics but still. No matter if people shun it saying "this is not super glue" (duh!) it is still a good candidate to reduce gluing costs for strong wood working. Thanks for the recipe.

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).
It is not super glue but i learnt something useful for me. I will buy gelatin in bulk :-). There is white egg glue too, garlic one, rabbit one. To used old prooved techniques is not a shame !
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.
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! 🙄
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.
@@Runedragonx 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.
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 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
Удивительно, как из простых ингредиентов, таких как желатин, уксус и вода, можно создать клейкое вещество! Однако следует быть осторожным с использованием уксуса 70%, так как он едкий и требует применения перчаток и работы в хорошо проветриваемом помещении. Конечно, это не совсем секундный клей в привычном понимании, и срок годности такой смеси довольно ограничен, но идея и химическая реакция действительно впечатляют! Спасибо за интересный эксперимент!
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.)
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!!!
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 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.
F the haters - this is a great idea that works!!!- im sure all the negative comments are directly from the glue companies. F fake news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
@@popcornshiner3937 so tell me like aliphatic the tighter the joins the stronger. Does this polystyrene like being clamped almost to destruction? People use so much aliphatic thinking its better and think if you clamp all the glue out itl break. Quite the opposite.
@@nathangrueber9834 I simply used it like pva glue, just a small spread over the jont. I never clamped it as I was just testing the theory, I just used a brick on top of the joint then let it dry. I found the wood tore up rather than the joint snapping at the glued section.
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.
Awesome tut, awesome produit!!! I love how you went the extra step to show the infalabilities also, the vid therefore leaves no room for naysayers' negativities. Imma try this product out. Just wondering, maybe if you had given bite to both of the microscope slides, maybe the resistance would have been quite increased, thereby making this really, really cool diy adhesive more of a contact cement. Nonetheless, this video rocks ... awesome tut!😁
Yeah me think so to in Australia it’s cheaper to buy 6 in pack super glue,than cost of your ingredients to make it and if you want it to stick quicker leave pack of glues stored in fridge that way lasts longer stick quicker
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.
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...
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 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.
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!
Give the producer of the video a break... We all know it's not the product 'super glue' common sense would tell ya that by brush in pot on the video... It's a great idea shared Its cheap n easy n all pantry items Done with good intentions That's all that matters Thanks for the video
A break for lying? For click baiting? I thought hey, here is a garage chemist putting his life on the line along with hundreds of dollars worth of equipment (hopefully some safety equipment, too, like a forced air supply respirator of some sort) and materials, to make a common, inexpensive, and readily available substance that you can buy in any drugstore or hardware store. I was curious about his process. Maybe he had come up with a relatively simple and primitive way of making cyanocryalate glue, but no, just gelatin based stickum that won't work very well except on porous substances and has poor resistance to water, and needs minutes or hours of clamping for a decent bond. The fact that most people will presume that the producer of the video is a liar does not excuse the lie.
It will certainly bond your wallet to the store where you purchased the ingredients… instead of buying the much less expensive real super glue. Add in the gloves to handle the stuff with and the fact that 70% vinegar really will light up your nostrils… I think you see which direction this is headed.
Despite many others here criticising you for this NOT being a recipe for super glue, I applaud your ingenuity for experimenting with compounds to see what you can make. At least you're giving things 'a go.' For myself, I find it easier to buy small tubes of super glue and use them, then throw away the rest of the tube when done. But I'm always interested in using commonly found ingredients to make a different compound.
Not for everyone! I guess if counting all of your savings takes just 1 second (adding 1 penny to another one, it wouldn't be that easy 😜😅 (sorry, Dutch humor)
@@rwdyeriii This is not super glue in the slightest. Super glue consists of a specific chemical known as cyanoacrylate, this concoction is more akin to a bookbinder's glue.
This is old fashioned hide glue . It’s simply gelatin and water. It’s been around for thousands of years. It’s not the “ superglue” but it is a super glue 👍🏼
Your mix will never work, but if you mix a few packing peanuts or piece of styrofoam with plain old acetone to the desired thickness, you can even build a model plane with it. The stronger version is some acetone, very fine acrylic shavings (perspex) with a small piece of styrofoam mixed in to lengthen the polymers. Keep it sealed, and it might take a day or so to fully dissolve depending on how fine the acrylic shavings is that you start with. Once dissolved, you can thin it out to the desired thickness by adding more acetone. No, it still is not superglue, but a cheaper way to do some hobbies if you use a lot of glue, and need fast setting times.

Excelente, muchas gracias.- Saludos desde Costa Rica.
Thanks for this information.
I will use it for my project
It is not super glue but i learnt something useful for me. I will buy gelatin in bulk :-). There is white egg glue too, garlic one, rabbit one. To used old prooved techniques is not a shame !
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.
Yes that's what I thought and keep life Simple~!!
$5.42 for super glue? It's three tubes for a $1.00 here in the states.
@@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.
The flame torch could cause very expensive problems as well.
@@vincegiltz2888 Ditto~!!
Stuck really well to the wood! 👍
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! 😅
😅😅😅😅😅that vision made my day ,,,😅😅😅😅
In a pinch this is a great idea
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! 🙄
@@benjaminhawthorne1969, But peanut butter sandwiches are so delicious.
Peanut butter and Nutella.....layered.... AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😜 lols
You did a great job, thanks for sharing.
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.
Erm, that's napalm mate.
When your napalm dries out it becomes a polystyrene binder? I shall test this, if I can resist the urge to light it on fire
@@Runedragonx Then just buy polystyrene cement. Or use acetone as a solvent.
@@Runedragonx 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.
Great idea in very informative video content. Thanks for sharing
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.
horse bone glue was Best for making musical instruments, I think I will test this video formula next time I build a guitar@@PhilDapple
Tanks for you video and that's for all you'r opinions I really apreciate that.
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)_/¯
Milk is expensive. Water is cheaper and more accessible.
@@defiantdomingo8278 Water's not a good adhesive though. Gelatine and glycerin probably cost more than milk.
do you know what the additive is(bottle with cyrillic text)?
@@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.
@@defiantdomingo8278 the other one doesnt have water as the only component , watch it again .
100 times Stronger than super glue 👍 as per video.
I have nor prepared or tested
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
what about the gloves?
@@jameskeith7608 You make a good point, I forgot to add them, I can get HDX nitrate gloves for $3.98 pack of 10 at Home Depot.
Удивительно, как из простых ингредиентов, таких как желатин, уксус и вода, можно создать клейкое вещество! Однако следует быть осторожным с использованием уксуса 70%, так как он едкий и требует применения перчаток и работы в хорошо проветриваемом помещении. Конечно, это не совсем секундный клей в привычном понимании, и срок годности такой смеси довольно ограничен, но идея и химическая реакция действительно впечатляют! Спасибо за интересный эксперимент!
What flavor does the jello need to be?
Depends on the color you want, I recommend green flavor
Amazing!
Great idea for big jobs.
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.
Thank you for choosing the word “ersatz”.
@@wintermatherne2524 im going to learn a new word today 'ersatz'
Your comment has piqued my interest in said word...
One never stops learning 😁
Thanks
I.m reminded of "Steal This Book" by Abbie Hoffman. Total rubbish.
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.)
It was printed during WW2 and I am sure is long out of print. I picked it up in a used bookstore in Chicago over 40 years ago.@@ozwalled2007
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!!!
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 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 made your glue; it does work. Thank you. Could you tell me if I'm doing something incorrectly b/c the glue takes a long time to harden.
F the haters - this is a great idea that works!!!- im sure all the negative comments are directly from the glue companies. F fake news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah BUT !! I dont read Egytion so I didn't get the Contents ??? 😞
I'm not a glue company. I just have a low tolerance for dishonesty and general quackery and presumption of other people's total gullibility.
I’m going to buy a glue company to make sure I won’t have to use this stuff, whatever it is.
Clamping superglue?
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.
@@popcornshiner3937 so tell me like aliphatic the tighter the joins the stronger. Does this polystyrene like being clamped almost to destruction? People use so much aliphatic thinking its better and think if you clamp all the glue out itl break. Quite the opposite.
@@nathangrueber9834 I simply used it like pva glue, just a small spread over the jont. I never clamped it as I was just testing the theory, I just used a brick on top of the joint then let it dry. I found the wood tore up rather than the joint snapping at the glued section.
@@nathangrueber9834 It is also a great way of getting rid of waste foam packaging
@@popcornshiner3937 yep thats normal
Thanku so much
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!
I put the jar of hardened glue in the microwave to make it liquid again.
save us money ?? surely its cheaper (and way more easier) to buy super glue from a 1 pound shop
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.
@@Willesden_Rab1_TV nothing cheap about sper glue
Awesome tut, awesome produit!!! I love how you went the extra step to show the infalabilities also, the vid therefore leaves no room for naysayers' negativities. Imma try this product out. Just wondering, maybe if you had given bite to both of the microscope slides, maybe the resistance would have been quite increased, thereby making this really, really cool diy adhesive more of a contact cement. Nonetheless, this video rocks ... awesome tut!😁
Good for wood not for the plastic. Anyway a nice DIY
Yeah me think so to in Australia it’s cheaper to buy 6 in pack super glue,than cost of your ingredients to make it and if you want it to stick quicker leave pack of glues stored in fridge that way lasts longer stick quicker
Seems a decent enough wood glue (comments re moisture excepted) but the comparison to superglue seems a little excessive.
There is no comparison.
Thanks for sharing.❤
⏳funny how the 2 minutes mentioned in the video title takes over 7 minutes to be watched 😅
Das ist ja super...! Danke ❤❤❤
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.
Thank You...
It's not superglue but still interesting. If I'm in a pinch and the ingredients are available (not likely), this is good to know.
Indeed.
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.
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...

Merci superbe solution
great job!!! thank you,.
Thank you for the the knowledge shared. ❤
Interesting. Thx for sharing!
Even simpler use cottage cheese. Glues wood extremely strongly
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.
You could wear protective goggles?
@@barnabyvonrudal1 believe it or not, they don't work. They don't prevent the fumes from getting to me, unfortunately.
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.
If you’ve ran out of wood glue and your local store is closed BUT you have all these ingredients in the kitchen !! Get my drift
I buy wuarts
.... or a fiver at the car boot
I'm not impressed. Make an accelerator to work with this recipe and I'll be impressed.
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!
Any idea about how long the adhesion will last in terms of months or years.
About 30 seconds, 3 if wet.
It is a durable glue as long as it isn't in wet conditions. It can last for ages.
- this stuff is great for the Moon conditions, where there are no water. So sell the idea to NASA!
Cockroaches love it !
@@waynebow-gu7wr Cockroaches love England too as they all seem to be trying to get here.
thank you, what are the proportions again?
All you made was hyde glue
Great video thanks 😊

Give the producer of the video a break...
We all know it's not the product 'super glue' common sense would tell ya that by brush in pot on the video...
It's a great idea shared
Its cheap n easy n all pantry items
Done with good intentions
That's all that matters
Thanks for the video
A break for lying? For click baiting? I thought hey, here is a garage chemist putting his life on the line along with hundreds of dollars worth of equipment (hopefully some safety equipment, too, like a forced air supply respirator of some sort) and materials, to make a common, inexpensive, and readily available substance that you can buy in any drugstore or hardware store. I was curious about his process. Maybe he had come up with a relatively simple and primitive way of making cyanocryalate glue, but no, just gelatin based stickum that won't work very well except on porous substances and has poor resistance to water, and needs minutes or hours of clamping for a decent bond. The fact that most people will presume that the producer of the video is a liar does not excuse the lie.
Will it bond polyethylene or polypropylene?
It will certainly bond your wallet to the store where you purchased the ingredients… instead of buying the much less expensive real super glue. Add in the gloves to handle the stuff with and the fact that 70% vinegar really will light up your nostrils… I think you see which direction this is headed.
Despite many others here criticising you for this NOT being a recipe for super glue, I applaud your ingenuity for experimenting with compounds to see what you can make. At least you're giving things 'a go.' For myself, I find it easier to buy small tubes of super glue and use them, then throw away the rest of the tube when done. But I'm always interested in using commonly found ingredients to make a different compound.
He didn't experiment with anything, He just copied an old recipe as made a video out of it, and misnamed it.
WOW, that was awesome! but it’s still easier to buy it😜
I agree. However this is good knowledge if you're ever somewhere in the world that doesn't have crazy glue.
@@rwdyeriii true, but what a pity for those somewhere in the world where the crazy-glue unavailability's the same issue with the vinegar 😮😂
Not for everyone! I guess if counting all of your savings takes just 1 second (adding 1 penny to another one, it wouldn't be that easy 😜😅 (sorry, Dutch humor)
Super glue after opening the tube usually impossible to get a second usage. That way they sell more. Epoxy is the best.
@@rwdyeriii This is not super glue in the slightest. Super glue consists of a specific chemical known as cyanoacrylate, this concoction is more akin to a bookbinder's glue.
شكرا
Quanto tempo dura essa cola a ser reutilizada novamente?
Cola solado de tênis?
Thanks
Thank you, very interesting. So many ways for pasting... I'm happe to have learned this one.🎉🎉🎉
If it was super glue you wouldn't have to clamp the materials together the real super glue drys in a few seconds
Deja de discutir y compra uno si este no te sirve
Well that was quite interesting, thanks a lot for sharing it, I still didn’t know this system
Might work just fine, but if you have to clamp and wait.... Yeah The benefit of super glue is the almost instantaneous adhesion.
Amazing..
I will try it..
Why is it amazing? It is basically just old fashioned hide glue. Not a thing amazing about that.
You don't glop on superglue. This is just sticky stuff. Try maple syrup.
- not at all. The apple jam is far better choice!
If you warm the glass jar up again, does it go to fluid again? or does the glue remain hard?
This is old fashioned hide glue . It’s simply gelatin and water. It’s been around for thousands of years. It’s not the “ superglue” but it is a super glue 👍🏼
Very Good!
Even better idea: don't do any of the stuff this guy does, and use the glue from your nostrils!
Your mix will never work, but if you mix a few packing peanuts or piece of styrofoam with plain old acetone to the desired thickness, you can even build a model plane with it. The stronger version is some acetone, very fine acrylic shavings (perspex) with a small piece of styrofoam mixed in to lengthen the polymers. Keep it sealed, and it might take a day or so to fully dissolve depending on how fine the acrylic shavings is that you start with. Once dissolved, you can thin it out to the desired thickness by adding more acetone. No, it still is not superglue, but a cheaper way to do some hobbies if you use a lot of glue, and need fast setting times.
Yeah, easier and more reliable to just buy a bottle of super glue
But, will it hold a man wearing a hardhat glued to a steel girder?
But you don't need to clamp super glue and wait two hours for it to dry.
I am back from the store and u still at it bro that sure isn't quick u think 🤔 Cape Town South Africa 🌍♥️
To make it stronger, you can apply sodium bicarbonate on top of the fglued surfaces. It will form polymers and become extra hard.
Es excelente ! Gracias desde Uruguay
Thank you for making this video THIS is Really Helpful for my goal of having quick glue when I need it!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
thanks for very teresting tips have a blessed day
