      Good idea, however, the tests nearer to the top might be losing more water when they drop so the accuracy might be suspect? Also, the substrate is variable, so again, is the test truly accurate?

    Great idea, but variability of the substrate accounts for more than the difference in the glues here.
    A 24kg substrate failure vs a 41kg substrate failure should be a red flag.

      I certainly think the adhesives that broke off the board substrate deserve (assuming you have enough left) to be retested on a peice of solid timber or thermolite lock.
      Let's see which one is the daddy👍

    • @bagpusslxv4858
      @bagpusslxv4858 2 года назад +13

      Great suggestion - obviously where the substrate failed you are not really testing the adhesive, so no real differentiation possible between the various products in this case. Some of these adhesives are very impressive but I wonder whether many people would ever use/trust them to the full extent of their capabilities, relying instead on mechanical fixings. I think most people just use these sort of products for lightweight items like skirting board/architrave where there is a low risk of failure?

    • @whomadethatsaltysoup
      @whomadethatsaltysoup 2 года назад

      Thanks for making this fun and informative video. As with Bagpuss LXV, I’d never trust to the holding power of the adhesive alone, and would definitely use a mechanical fixing in addition to the adhesive. I’ve seen old school, green Gripfill for as little as 99p, but it tends to scab over very quickly, making it difficult to apply. I certainly wouldn’t use it for anything heavy, or above floor level. As for the tenner plus options, again I’d use mechanical fixings for that ‘belt and braces ‘ reassurance. Personally, when I’m paying, I’ve found Multi Stick very reliable, and up until recently it could be found at £4 a tube. I’ve been on plenty of jobs where Sticks like is supplied, and it is very good - oddly enough, the clear seems stronger - but at double the price of Multi Stick, I’ll just bang some brads into the skirting or architraves and move on.

    Great test and your work is appreciated. However, there can be voids and different densities found within a single sheet of plywood. If one test fails at 24 kilos and another at 41 kilos and they both tore out the plywood, then the adhesive can only hold what the plywood will hold. Need to be tested with a more stable wood. Like oak slab.

  • @piotrstanczak8319
    @piotrstanczak8319 Год назад +48

    Methodology is slightly wrong which results with unknown real max value for some of these adhesives. Every time the plywood broke instead of a bond it did not show real strength of the adhesive. You would need to glue test blocks to unbreakable (at least within this test limits) type of base. E.g. metal, pretty thick glass or pretty thick plastic or wood that cannot break before bond breaks.

    Gorilla Glue was founded by Mark Singer in 1991. He saw people using the glue to make teak furniture in Indonesia and when he got back to the US patented it for North America. Turned it into a 300+ million dollar company before selling it to the Lutz Tool Company. Sure pays to travel.

    Thanks for the effort on this one👍🏻 Being in the trade you often wonder what you get for your money. I use a combination of stixall, fix all, CT1 and SLS turbo depending on application. The SLS turbo and Fixall Turbo are particularly good due to their faster curing times. My concerns are always the long term performance of the product and the substrates they are being used on. It would be interesting to see how the products faired over 6 months or so on a substrate that doesn’t delaminate. Thanks again for this, it was quite the eye opener, well apart from the gripfill, I’ve been to many property’s and removed skirtings with my fingers that have been “stuck” using that stuff!

    Biggest flaw in this test is the plywood you used. Plywood is notorious for having uneven glued layers. You should try this test with the boards glued to a 2"x12" board.

    This video was a rollercoaster of emotions, from pure intrigue over how much some of those adhesives hold, to anxiety every time you put the weight in the bucket, to joy every time you got startled by the falling bucket. Great video.
    Looking at the top five, if you're looking at holding power, then Gorilla is definitely the top. But if you consider how many KG you get for the price spent and call that "value for money" (in your top 5, I haven't looked at all 20) it looks like the winner is Stixall, giving you approx 6.3 kg per £1 spent. Unsurprisingly, CT1 is dead last for value for money with only 2.9 kg per £1 spent. Obviously there are other factors in play but if you wanna accept that fuzzy logic, looks like Stixall is the best choice for your average DIY'er.

      @@TheDIYGuy1 Basically all cases where the substrate failed prove that the glue is stronger than the material it glued together. The measurement for these actually measures the strength of the substrate not the strength of the glue. We must be fair to the glue manufacturer. Another test would be nice to show how the glue withstands humidity for example.

    Excellent review of the many adhesive options available today. I generally use what's onsite. However, if I'm buying, I tend to use Multi-Stick, as I found it to be reliable and reasonably priced. The fancy stuff, coming in somewhere south of a tenner, is just too rich for my blood. And, as you say, if you're only sticking some skirting, well, it won't be doing any heavy lifting. On top of that, anything requiring up to 40kg of holding power, and I'd be looking to go belt and braces with some form of mechanical fixing too.

    I used Gripfill recently to stick a baton to a container ceiling for a strip light. I came back 24 hours later and the product basically just came off the ceiling with a light pull. Like you, the product was still wet.
    I called Evo-Stick and they told me as follows:
    When using Gripfil it should be spread as thinly as possible. It dries through evaporation and thus the more there is the longer it takes to dry. Also, when it dries it shrinks. The thicker the product is applied the more shrinkage is possible and the bond’s likelihood of failure is increased.

    I don’t agree with the principle of demoting a product when there is partial or complete substrate failure at low loads. If the timber has not exposed the glue line, regardless of load - that’s a good result. Comparing results that include any substrate failure with those that don’t, is a flawed test in my opinion. Plywood is inherently prone to inconsistent delamination, especially lower grades of ply.

  • @suggz66
    @suggz66 2 года назад +1

    Great video ! Very good test ! Surprisingly different results from another UK video on here though with a very similar testing method (almost identical). To be fair, in cases where it was not the adhesive that failed rather the wood that broke apart, the adhesive itself deserved a higher score for it's bonding capabilities? So in some cases, it's the wood itself that is the weakest link, not the adhesive.
    Also I would really like to see a test of these products used in wood to metal contact & perhaps more likely wood or metal to masonry i.e. Lintels, Block, Brickwork, Stone, Render, Plaster, Plasterboard. As these are perhaps the most common applications maybe a timed test for different carefully applied weight's, slowly increased in equal measure to see if they hold up over a 24 hour period.
    I would be very interested to know what you think?

    Great video people like me look for individual independent, non bias tests / reviews like this its really helps! Thanks! In my opinion and experience the OB1 holds more weight, also it looked like that was a complete substrate failure and not at all sealant / adhesive failure. I think there is room for error in this particular test and that should not be mistaken for an anomaly, whenever the substrate fails that means the weight at that time is not the maximum load, and that the product could potentially hold more but that element was eliminated due to the failure of the substrate. I think the substrate needs to be stronger to not only prove its a fair test but to also be realistic an accurate at getting the results as accurate to each individual products integrity as possible.

Of course with the leverage the pull on the adhesive was far higher than the bucket weight in your tests.

Although not the best on your test clearly it is literally hundreds of times stronger than it needs to be for this purpose!

    I appreciate you're doing this purely as a strength test but where some of the products like the solvent free are better is they stick to dry dusty walls that the solvents don't stick at all.
    So products like the CT1 & OB1 stick to basically anything & will stick to wet crappy surfaces also.
    The hybrid polymers will stick things like melamine faced boards like Egger & Kronospan that none of the others will.
    Don't want to knock your test, but as a follow up test maybe do the same test with a concrete or brick substrate which much much more what these adhesives are designed for & think you will get some massively different results.

    Nice experiment but those with substrate failures must be retested with solid wood with the grain running vertically.

I think you’ve probably realised that all those adhesives which led to substrate failures haven’t really been compared against each other. You wisely haven’t put them all in a table because it wouldn’t be fair. You’ve given us a list of adhesives which ‘did not fail’. I would definitely watch a video where you test all of those against a solid heavy beam or some other higher strength substrate test. Great job. And as another commenter pointed out the leverage means you’ve tested way over the weights stated. Pulling on them from a direct point load would be very different. Great products all!!

    I can't see what weigher you're using but they normally have a peak function. You could attach that in between the bar and the bucket and it'll show the highest recorded weight.
    Also, I think it's worth noting that if there's a substrate failure that's an instant win for the glue. The weight measured after that situation is meaningless as it's just telling you the weight the substrate layers can handle, not the glue.

    I often wondered about many of these products at what is often quite a high premium. I am often also aware that as a DIYer once these product packs ar opened they don't last long befor going hard in the tube despite great efforts to exclude air etc. So if I use hald a tube at £5 but it goes hard in the tube its really a £10 job.... Well worth thinking about. Love knowing the truth many thanks...

    great test, and others say, good to see somebody in the UK doing it with stuff we can buy! obviously there are many factors involved that you can test for, but as a rough guide it does the job- a clear difference between the ones where the substrate failed and where the adhesive failed....and possibly a third category of partial failure. I think an interestinng factor to consider would be time as many of these products are meant to work over years not seconds. So maybe set up a test with hanging weights and see how long it takes for the adhesive to fail? (make each test surface area much smaller then you don't need so much weight).

    Help required bud, My silly builder ( Jurek ) couldn’t be bothered adding noggins on stud wall on garage conversion, just dam lazy if you ask me, and now am at odds with putting floating shelf’s up. I’ll get one coach screw on one stud but with kingspan behind the plasterboard which adhesive do you recommend might hold the metal bracket on ?

    I liked that...quite surprising some of the results re cost Vs efficiency.
    The test is ok as an indicator . it all depends on where and how you use the adhesive as always.. , some of the stuff is ok for say skirting etc where you don't want to rip the plaster away at a future point. Substrate failure is only to be expected with ply any way. good test as I said and I'm enjoying the channel.

    Very nice video! I did not expect Sticks Like Turbo to hold more weight than the standard one though. It's just more expensive because it sets really quicker compared to Standard Sticks like, but not stronger. A bit like Soudal Fix All Standard and Fix All Turbo. If not in a rush probably no need to use the Turbo. 😊

    The max results are more an indication of plywood delamination strength. It would have helped to use solid oak or maple substrate and test bars. Construction adhesives are valued for their instantaneous grab during assembly rather than fully cured strength. So we really want to see wet grab and month old strength evaluated in separate tests.

    Your videos are becoming more gripping and I stuck with it to the end!
    On a more serious note,proof that products priced at premium prices are not worth the extra cost .I always wonder that some of the glues are produced by the same manufactures,but branding them results in huge differencial price points .

    I have to say you should have used a solid piece of wood for the backing instead of plywood. Since it was plywood the plywood failed on some of the units and you really cannot make comparison then. Other than that I love this and it was a very interesting test. Interesting enough for me to subscribe and like your videos. Thank you.

    The only one I saw in my country is the Soudal and I'm glad it actually does pretty well. I have to say I haven't tested it with such weight yet, but for what I used it until now, it's doing a good job and really sticks anything to anything.

  • @DT-yt2zh

    Not a good test because it didn't test the glue bond. I'd rather see a 2x4 board cut at an angle and then the glue bond evaluated rather than looking for the plywood to fail.

      However the job does what it needs too. Just shows you get what you pay for most the time.
