He’s just asked about the ratings on them and I come to make this comment. Also the rating is for constant use, even though it took around 60lbs to break it half that weight would likely do the same given more time
As a woodworker, I’ve actually found it quite rare that any commercial wood glue didn’t create a bond stronger than the wood itself. I’ve used glues at all price points and they’ve all performed similarly, with the exception of a few glues that performed poorly on oilier woods. Treating the mating surfaces with lacquer thinner before hand and letting dry thoroughly before gluing also helps make a stronger bond. Next time try testing wood glues on hard maple, rosewood, mahogany or teak. I bet you’ll get an even higher psi before you lose the bond or the wood breaks.
Wood glue absolutely creates a stronger bond than most people realize. When I was a teenager, I made a top for a small table, think like nightstand size, by gluing together five different pieces of hardwood and then clamping them together really tight and leaving it for about three days. Wood glue was the only thing holding it together and it was easily as durable as a tabletop make out of a single piece of wood. I also agree that the cost doesn't really matter. I would say in about 99% cases wood glue is wood glue and more expensive wood glue isn't going to perform better than cheap wood glue. In fact, when my dad had his custom wood furniture business, we bought the more expensive wood glue because it was all that they had, and it was thinner than the cheap stuff and generally more of a pain to work with because it made a mess easier.
Just an FYI, Cyanoacrylate (sigh-an-oh-acril-ate) is essentially just the chemical name for super glue. The brands just change proportions of the precursors and add other ingredients to change bonding properties for specific materials.
Most hooks won’t be used in an ultra smooth, uniform surface, like plexiglass. Instead they will be adhered to wood, stucco, drywall, etc. I am guessing there would be a huge difference in holding power based upon the substrate they are applied to.
Very true, also I think that even though it can hold a lot of weight, it might only be able to hold that for a short period of time, then the adhesive will gradually slip off. But, it can hold a smaller weight for a very long time without slipping edit: Nevermind, he goes over that right away lol, I need to watch the video before commenting
@@irchonite1953 He didn't test it long enough to account for "creep." Creep is generally measured in months or years. I don't think a month long test fits the theme of his testing videos but it's still a variable he didn't test for and could be the reason for the ratings.
@@parkerbruso4590 Yep. And if he tested it longer the dollar store would probably creep faster at the rated weight and a lot faster when it's used above its rating. I choose command hooks because command is the brand used as double sided foam tape to hold glass panes on skyscrapers. I'm sure the tape used on the hook isn't as strong but if the company's starting point is tape that can handle that and doesn't lose stickiness over time, or at least they've engineered for that already, it doesn't take much to just use a little less stickiness but leave the rest of the material the same. It still wouldn't creep because the adhesive is designed not to but it would be easier to remove. You're basically paying about 50 cents more to get a product nearly guaranteed to work compared to a mystery manufacturer.
Dollar Tree sells that super glue in a 4-pack of mini tubes for $1.25. The best part about those is that each tube is usually all you need for a job, so it doesn’t feel like you’re wasting as much when you toss the tube after one job.
Zip ties 101. ALWAYS get them at Harbor Freight! A 1000 pack of 8" ties is like $16.00 and just as good as any named brand out there. Lots of junk at Harbor Freight, but some very good deals too, like O-rings, gasket material, blades for all types of saws, anchor kits etc... I even took a chance on a welder to replace one I had for about 20 years that stopped working, 4 years in on a $150 welder and it works just as good as my old one I paid like $500 for over 20 years ago.
I'm not gonna lie the sponsor for this video actually looks pretty cool and they seem legit Tyler needs to review some of the stuff they send out to him i think it would be an interesting video since it's the type of stuff Tyler would review.
I ordered one, 49 bucks for your first box, I could see what's coming,I skipped thru like 10 boxes before I clicked the one I liked, it asks you questions as to what your interested in, me living in a sober living home in Detroit it wouldn't be a good idea to get a bunch of decanters, mixers, swizzle sticks and liquor glasses to a building filled with alcoholics and crack addicts so I got a wood splitter, cool duffle bag and some coffee supplies
When doing the wood block tests, glue and hang the blocks against the grain of the wood instead of with the grain as you've been doing. That way it will minimize the blocks failing before the test media.
He is. Wood grain is like a bundle of dry spaghetti. No matter how you put something through it you're either pulling through the grain or just pulling it apart. The problem is that he's drilling into it at all. He'd be better off clamping the wood pieces on the sides to pull or gluing some metal all around the sides of the wood with some holes drilled into the metal. Or putting a ring around each side of the glue and pulling one up and one down. The force wouldn't be directly pulling anymore but the wood wouldn't split. Either the glue would fail or it would tear the wood grains out of the other piece of wood.
Fun videos! The Dollar Tree super glue and wood glue are actually "Super Glue" brand! The brand that started it all and eventually became the generic term for cyanoacrylate glues.
Most hooks are rated low because the companies can't control how customers use them. The strength can vary according to the surface they are put on, whether that surface is clean, etc.
In my experience super glue doesn't stick to anything except my fingers. Surprisingly hot glue seems to hold together better most of the time, considering its just melted plastic.
@@riv-slug499 If you just need a fast bond that doesn't have to hold much weight any of them will do the job. If you need it to hold a lot of weight the name brands do a lot better. See ProjectFarm for good testing.
@@riv-slug499 Yep, it almost always comes down to price. Most of the time the extra strength is completely unneeded and it's not worth spending more. But when you do actually need the strength and you can't hold it very long they are still better. Really though, superglue is rarely the best glue for anything. It's convenient but none of it is as good of a bond as something else. Cyanoacrylate is brittle so any shock or lateral force usually just breaks it. I use gorilla glue for a general purpose glue because it's not brittle unless I want the glue to dry immediately and the brittleness doesn't matter. It's also not the best for anything but it's not brittle so if you're worried about shock it's better, but you pay for the shock resistance with needing to hold it for 5 minutes. If you need to glue wood get wood glue. If you need to bond metal get JB Weld. You trade for the extra bond strength on these by it requiring more cure time. Edit: And if you don't want a permanent bond use Elmer's. (Like if you want a non-permanent way to stick two pieces of plastic together that aren't holding much force. If you used superglue you'd never get the stuff off whichever side it stayed stuck to when you pulled them apart.)
Command strips are strong enough to to rip 5 inch chunks of drywall and paint off of your walls if you don’t take them off correctly so I was rooting for them😂😂
Uh yeah if my friend ever moves I'm going to need to remove strips for him apparently. Oh well at least we avoided putting nails in his rented apartments walls. Now if I can just talk him into letting my out holes in the cinder blocks for the heavy paintings.
i'm convinced if you use enough command strips you could stick a trailer to a truck and tow it. highway is out of the question but i would put money on a few blocks.
Those hooks performed better than expected because you stuck them on glass, which is a completely smooth, flat, nonporous surface, which allows for optimal adhesion. They're usually stuck on painted walls, which aren't as smooth, so there are small divots where the adhesive isn't making full contact. The zip ties were inconsistent because you had small changes in the sizes of the loops. The smaller the loop, the stronger they are. Bigger loops allow for more leverage which creates a greater force when applying weight. The only way to test them consistently is to precisely count the number of clicks when you're fastening them.
Hey Tyler, I think to test the adhesive on ducttape, you should set it up with the acrylic in almost the same situation you had but with ends off the top side where the paracord is. Then you can just Pull the tape off yourself, from up to down, and see how high the meter gets in force. Please upvote for visability.
As far as the tape and zip ties- from my experience, the cheaper stuff doesn't hold up in the long run. Especially exposed to sunlight and weather. Also with cheap zip ties, there tends to be a lot of duds (won't zip or just immediately breaks when you try to tighten any whatsoever)
I haven't had any trouble with mine. But I'm just zip tying a small wire basket to my granny cart. Plus I tend to use extra. But it is exposed to the elements because I ride the bus & use it to carry my bags. I'm disabled so it helps me get around. But thanks for reminding I need to add extra because I only used 4 so I could easily cut it off if I decided to turn the big side of the basket around.
@@Nirrrina You might want to rethink buying the cheap ones since you're usually paying less because their QC is complete dog shit and more duds get slip through the cracks vs a reputable name brand. Plus insted of using 4 you can probably get away with using 2 and ave more money in the process instead f having to double or triple up on the 4 you already use.
I love your dollar tree videos! I just can’t get enough Dollar Tree content. They are informative. I make dollar Tree videos too. It’s a pleasure to learn from other talented creators like you! I hope we can learn more from each other!
This is a cool idea. I'd like to see more of this same thing but with other dollar tree products that aren't adhesives or for strapping things together. Maybe a range of different types of product of a few types of each. Like some electronics, arts and crafts, tools, etc.
Tyler the reason the tape was better with the blocks is because there was 2 sides it was pulling against, which is why it was about half the weight of the blocks when you did it with the clamp instead
To test the stickiness you could see how much weight it takes to peel the tape off of a surface like the plexiglass.. it doesn't have to "slide" off but it should have a level of resistance to being peeled.
Tyler tube is like the back of a shampoo bottle in your friends bathroom while your phone is on charge, always there when you need it. Unless your friends are nasty, then its ink blotch game on the ceiling stains.
Everything I’ve ever learned about the ingredients of shampoo, bubble bath, even various salts and creams etc, have all been on the toilet, without a phone.
Odd thing to watch while working at the dollar tree, glad you made the joke I’ve heard from everyone for the past two months “oh is it the dollar twenty-five tree now?” Classic
How's it a classic? Dollar tree just changed prices two months ago, a classic is 20 years or older. At least that's the rule dealing with cars and things like guitars, furniture and tools
A good test for your block setup would be to make a block with the same wood but without a cut and test that. Then you would get a pretty solid failure rating for the wood alone to compare to. Also with the hooks maybe you could have pumped it up to 40-50lbs and then left it overnight to see if it would hold higher than it's rating for longer? Love your vids man you keep me entertained far too late at night. That sounds dodgy...
I use the “Dollar Tree” wood glue for a lot of different things. Everything from crafting projects to home repair. I love the “Dollar Tree” wood glue, so much, my husband bought me a case(12 bottles) of it, incase it is discontinued or my local store quits carrying it, for some reason. It holds well, but beyond that…it dries fairly quick, making it grab hold, so you don’t have to hold on to it, for a long time. I have never had anything fall apart after using it. It always holds well! Love it!
For the wood glue test, you should somehow attach pads of wood onto two flat pieces of metal and have the ropes pull on the metal so that there will be no splitting of wood and it be a more accurate test of the glue strength.
You should take wood glues and put it through drop tests and stuff to see which glue is best for projects. also love your videos the electric hammer video made me die.
I usually find dollar tree stuff to be decent quality. It just comes in smaller packages. Sometimes it isn't quite as good as name brand stuff, but then again, I don't always need it to be as good, I just need it to be cheap and disposable. I think it also depends what part of the country you're from. It seems like they have different things in different states.
21:20 I think the weight ratings, for the hooks, is because people may use them on a painted wall, where the adhesive won't make as much contact as it does on a super-smooth sheet of acrylic.
Dollar Tree is my go-to for super glue, cheaper than the hardware store or wally world, and better packaging than the Harbor Freight stuff. As long as it's fresh, thin cyanoacrylate is pretty much the same stuff everywhere. The epoxy works fine too but the dual-syringe applicator is annoying at dollar tree size, if it came in the metal toothpaste tubes I'd like it more.
"Super Glue" at Dollar Tree and similar places I's the same formula as Eastman 901. That was the original Super Glue. The breaking strength is over 2000 lbs and the shear is around 450. There are a lot of newer ones are adjusted to drying time slower or faster, there are also ones made for wood, gap filling etc
Thin Cyanoacrylate glue isn't for wood. The dollar tree stuff in the green tipped tubes is cyanoacrylate gel and made for wood and more porous materials as it won't get absorbed. Thin Cyanoacrylate is for non porous materials like metal and plastic. Right tool for the right application.
Tyler to test the stickiness of the duck tape you can apply it backward ( omega form kind if it makes sense) apply it on the plastic glass surface and Throw tennis balls on it, and just note the time each ball takes to fall down
‘’This thing has never fallen before I don’t even know how it fell’’ As a long time viewer I have seen that thing fall many times lol and its not the first time the scale shut off
The strength of tape compounds the more wraps you have. You should wrap the tape around two or three times and then test it just for in the field usage.
For the glue test make the blocks slightly longer and tighten a hose clamp around them above and below paracord, but leaving glue line expose or a piece of square tubing the wood fits tightly in to keep wood from breaking and get better result on glue strength
Thanks…we crafters have pretty much figured out which products are okay from DT. Their craft supplies save us a lot of money! But there are a few times when it is more economical to buy something elsewhere. Mostly, though, DT craft products, including glues, are a good deal!
How to test the stickiness of tape: 1) place strip of tape sticky-side up on a table 2) take a marble and a fixed incline (ex: a doorstop) 3) measure the distance the marble rolls across the tape after releasing the marble from a fixed height 🎉
I love your videos man! I’m turning 17 today actually and I see a lot of your demographic tends to be older people, but I’m a teenager and I love your content. Super entertaining for some reason lol. Keep up the great work!
For the duct tape stickiness test: Take even length pieces of each on the plexiglass with a half inch not attached at the top. Attach a small weight (a couple of ounces should work) to the top of both pieces. Hang vertically. The stickier tape will be the last to peel off.
With the zip ties, i believe it has more to do with how you rotate it. The stress point is where the ends zip together moreso than the rest of the tie.
Pease test the strength of cheap mini clamps. I just bought 4 'Irwin 300mm Quick Grip One Handed Trigger Clamps' and I want to learn and then strengthen the weak points of them .
For equipment and safety you can take a length of cord tied into a loop slightly larger than the test sample. That way when you have failures the scale and pullies are not catapulted to the ceiling
To test the adhesive on the tape.. you could take a long strip, fold it in half, but leave a lip out on each side. Then just grab each end and pull. Maybe?
To test the adhesion of the tapes you could use your plexiglass setup. Tape the whole height of the plastic leaving some extra at the top for the pliers to grip. Grip the top and then test like you would. Would have to find a way to fix it to prevent the plexiglass from tilting though, maybe a wooden frame that the plexiglass can slide up and down in but prevent the tip
All duct tape is threaded and preferated for convenience that why both snapped …test the durability horizontally instead…my guess is you will have different results…also it’s called Duct tape to hold together duct work for heating and cooling out then to a temperature test
Should watch Project farm for some testing rig ideas. Like duct tapes, i believe he did a weather test, Water and sunlight on them. Just a suggestion Tyler. Ps... should have tasted dollar tree pickles to the name brand
Follow up, for testing weight ratings. Could do the same test, but with constant weight applied to it. Like hang a 10lb weight from the sticky hooks(command strips). And see how long till it gives up on sheet of painted drywall.
3:06 A good way that I found to remove super glue from your fingers is to just use a ordinary file and file the glue off then just wash your hand to get the last bits of
The type of super glue is cyanocrylate (sigh-an-no-cry-late) and is extremely common in the aquarium community because it is non-toxic, and bonds very powerfully underwater
I most often use zip ties for things I am not trying to hold any kinda weight with. And always buy them at dollar tree. Best place for lots of things, when you're broke af
For the tape put them on the plexiglass, lay it on the ground and put the weight on the edges, put the pliers on the end of the tape, then hook the pliers to the crane scale. If that makes sense.
When you stop to look at the pressure number the tension isn't released; meaning there's still pulling action on the wood blocks to break. You have to do a continuous pull within a set number of minutes. I hope you understand.
The difference between the zip ties is TIME, I've found the cheap dollar store Zips get hard and brittle after only a few months exposure to light or any type of weather while the name brand Zips last much longer.
Leaving something in a ultrasonic cleaner for a certain amount of days. Each item in a different baggie, maybe with different liquids, so you can do all the items at once. This is one of my ideas.
I have two dollar tree "command strips" in/around my apartment. One outside ON BRICK & another inside on glass. The glass one had adhesive that is so strong I'm worried about pulling it off in fear of breaking the glass. The strip outside is still going strong, surviving all seasonal climates, including extreme heat and humidity as well as tropical storms. Do not underestimate the dollar tree products.
When you were putting on safety glasses, I was thinking maybe you should wear full motorcycle gear. Like a race suit. And maybe layer the duct tape on the plexiglass, so the tape can be stronger than the adhesive?

try testing the peel strength rather then "slide off"
you should rig up something to your crane scale so that you can just stand on it instead of using the sledge hammer
Cyanoacrylate is pronounced cy ano ac re late
The gorilla “Gel” super glue is crazy stuff. Works better than other super glue I’ve used
What about testing cheap vs cheap and expensive vs expensive??
Test the command strips on a painted wall. I think the weight limits will be much closer. Plexiglass is a smooth surface so optimal surface for them.

I haven't had any trouble with mine. But I'm just zip tying a small wire basket to my granny cart. Plus I tend to use extra. But it is exposed to the elements because I ride the bus & use it to carry my bags. I'm disabled so it helps me get around.
But thanks for reminding I need to add extra because I only used 4 so I could easily cut it off if I decided to turn the big side of the basket around.
@@Nirrrina You might want to rethink buying the cheap ones since you're usually paying less because their QC is complete dog shit and more duds get slip through the cracks vs a reputable name brand. Plus insted of using 4 you can probably get away with using 2 and ave more money in the process instead f having to double or triple up on the 4 you already use.
I love your dollar tree videos! I just can’t get enough Dollar Tree content. They are informative. I make dollar Tree videos too. It’s a pleasure to learn from other talented creators like you! I hope we can learn more from each other!
Man this is the best channel on youtube. Would love to see more store brand versus name brand things.
Tyler my guy. Can we test glue in a way that doesn't just rely on blocks splitting? Great stuff man
NO
Would like to see you test the stuff from the mystery boxes you got. Like shooting bottles with the slingshot.
I love watching this guy, especially when i come home drunk froma night out.
Thank u for being the best youtuber
This is a cool idea. I'd like to see more of this same thing but with other dollar tree products that aren't adhesives or for strapping things together. Maybe a range of different types of product of a few types of each. Like some electronics, arts and crafts, tools, etc.
I second this. Please do more dollar tree categories, Tyler.
Tyler the reason the tape was better with the blocks is because there was 2 sides it was pulling against, which is why it was about half the weight of the blocks when you did it with the clamp instead
To test the stickiness you could see how much weight it takes to peel the tape off of a surface like the plexiglass.. it doesn't have to "slide" off but it should have a level of resistance to being peeled.
Yes, this is exactly what Project Farm does.
Or a loop of tape between two blocks of wood or pieces of metal
Tyler tube is like the back of a shampoo bottle in your friends bathroom while your phone is on charge, always there when you need it. Unless your friends are nasty, then its ink blotch game on the ceiling stains.
Oddly specific yet... correct.
No.
Tf u on abt
Currently shitting right now so you're correct.
Everything I’ve ever learned about the ingredients of shampoo, bubble bath, even various salts and creams etc, have all been on the toilet, without a phone.
I had those command strips to hold some lights in my backyard, it held for a few months until all the adhesive wore off and everything fell
Thank you for your channel. Channels like this help make RUclips so good.
I have an idea, what can a sink garbage disposal shred
You're correct about the long term hanging capacity.
The duct tape from the buck and a quarter store has adhesive which dries out really fast.
Odd thing to watch while working at the dollar tree, glad you made the joke I’ve heard from everyone for the past two months “oh is it the dollar twenty-five tree now?” Classic
@ thanks for that, really needed to watch inappropriate videos on RUclips
thanks brandon!!!!!
How's it a classic? Dollar tree just changed prices two months ago, a classic is 20 years or older. At least that's the rule dealing with cars and things like guitars, furniture and tools
@@breakingames7772 ur mom is a classic
@@craigjensen6853 ya so is her coffin it's a 2001 baker, cherry wood with silver highlights, very classic
Please turn this into a series! I'd love to see you test more things from Dollar Tree.
A good test for your block setup would be to make a block with the same wood but without a cut and test that. Then you would get a pretty solid failure rating for the wood alone to compare to. Also with the hooks maybe you could have pumped it up to 40-50lbs and then left it overnight to see if it would hold higher than it's rating for longer? Love your vids man you keep me entertained far too late at night. That sounds dodgy...
I use the “Dollar Tree” wood glue for a lot of different things. Everything from crafting projects to home repair. I love the “Dollar Tree” wood glue, so much, my husband bought me a case(12 bottles) of it, incase it is discontinued or my local store quits carrying it, for some reason. It holds well, but beyond that…it dries fairly quick, making it grab hold, so you don’t have to hold on to it, for a long time. I have never had anything fall apart after using it. It always holds well! Love it!
Just went to dollar tree a couple hours ago, saw the wood glue and said “hmm I wonder if that works” 😂 thanks!
Never bought wood glue from dollar tree before, the most common things I get from dollar tree are batteries and dishwasher detergent
@@DOGMAN201322 have you ever tried the laundry detergent at dollar tree? If so is it any good
@@catfishbilly3.765 it's ok
For the wood glue test, you should somehow attach pads of wood onto two flat pieces of metal and have the ropes pull on the metal so that there will be no splitting of wood and it be a more accurate test of the glue strength.
The wood absorbs the liquid glue (super glue). Probably would've been better to use metals or plastics to test those.
The zip ties work the tighter you put it the stronger it is the more lose the weaker 👍🏾great content
You should take wood glues and put it through drop tests and stuff to see which glue is best for projects.
also love your videos the electric hammer video made me die.
I usually find dollar tree stuff to be decent quality. It just comes in smaller packages. Sometimes it isn't quite as good as name brand stuff, but then again, I don't always need it to be as good, I just need it to be cheap and disposable. I think it also depends what part of the country you're from. It seems like they have different things in different states.
This channel literally is the definition of nonsense. Like non-sense. Awesome.🍿
The fact he was so close to figuring out how to test the stickiness of the tape yet didn’t cracks me up
Gorilla Glue. DO NOT USE ON HAIR
Please make this a series! Friggin awesome idea!
Would be great if you could get some harder wood and compare again the strongest glues that failed because of weak wood
21:20 I think the weight ratings, for the hooks, is because people may use them on a painted wall, where the adhesive won't make as much contact as it does on a super-smooth sheet of acrylic.
Do you mean the 1.25 cent store?
Yes! A TylerTube video while I’m sick. Thanks for making this entertaining content Tyler! :)

Now that I've see a dude leave stuff in jars for a week/month and eat it.. Tyler... You need to step your game up and started tasting it 😅😅😅😅
He doesn't even leave things in jars anymore. Sad.
The whole reason I originally subscribed was for random shit in jars.
Dollar Tree is my go-to for super glue, cheaper than the hardware store or wally world, and better packaging than the Harbor Freight stuff. As long as it's fresh, thin cyanoacrylate is pretty much the same stuff everywhere. The epoxy works fine too but the dual-syringe applicator is annoying at dollar tree size, if it came in the metal toothpaste tubes I'd like it more.
First
I'm genuinely impressed that Tyler wore safety glasses.
"Super Glue" at Dollar Tree and similar places I's the same formula as Eastman 901. That was the original Super Glue. The breaking strength is over 2000 lbs and the shear is around 450. There are a lot of newer ones are adjusted to drying time slower or faster, there are also ones made for wood, gap filling etc
Thin Cyanoacrylate glue isn't for wood. The dollar tree stuff in the green tipped tubes is cyanoacrylate gel and made for wood and more porous materials as it won't get absorbed. Thin Cyanoacrylate is for non porous materials like metal and plastic. Right tool for the right application.
Love you tylertube pls never stop the vids we love them all hope you have a great day
Tyler to test the stickiness of the duck tape you can apply it backward ( omega form kind if it makes sense) apply it on the plastic glass surface and Throw tennis balls on it, and just note the time each ball takes to fall down
‘’This thing has never fallen before I don’t even know how it fell’’ As a long time viewer I have seen that thing fall many times lol and its not the first time the scale shut off
If ur curious the zip ties
Averages are
The good ones 84.5
Cheep ones 36.75
The strength of tape compounds the more wraps you have. You should wrap the tape around two or three times and then test it just for in the field usage.
For the glue test make the blocks slightly longer and tighten a hose clamp around them above and below paracord, but leaving glue line expose or a piece of square tubing the wood fits tightly in to keep wood from breaking and get better result on glue strength
Thanks…we crafters have pretty much figured out which products are okay from DT. Their craft supplies save us a lot of money! But there are a few times when it is more economical to buy something elsewhere. Mostly, though, DT craft products, including glues, are a good deal!
Your product review videos are great! I've been binge watching them and missing out on sleep. lol
How to test the stickiness of tape:
1) place strip of tape sticky-side up on a table
2) take a marble and a fixed incline (ex: a doorstop)
3) measure the distance the marble rolls across the tape after releasing the marble from a fixed height 🎉
I love your videos man! I’m turning 17 today actually and I see a lot of your demographic tends to be older people, but I’m a teenager and I love your content. Super entertaining for some reason lol. Keep up the great work!
Hey Tyler. I know this is an older video so you might not see this but I'm just wondering which crane scale you use.
For the duct tape stickiness test:
Take even length pieces of each on the plexiglass with a half inch not attached at the top. Attach a small weight (a couple of ounces should work) to the top of both pieces. Hang vertically. The stickier tape will be the last to peel off.
With the zip ties, i believe it has more to do with how you rotate it. The stress point is where the ends zip together moreso than the rest of the tie.
Pease test the strength of cheap mini clamps. I just bought 4 'Irwin 300mm Quick Grip One Handed Trigger Clamps' and I want to learn and then strengthen the weak points of them .
This was awesome! I have been so excited to see this.
Ah nostalgia, I've been waiting for another glue video.

For equipment and safety you can take a length of cord tied into a loop slightly larger than the test sample. That way when you have failures the scale and pullies are not catapulted to the ceiling
The best part of the Amand hooks is all you have to do is pull the tab, and it pops right off without any damage. Then reuse it.
for the duct tape just clamp the glass down to a table and pull up with the pulley that way only the pulling it off the glass is tested.
To test the adhesive on the tape.. you could take a long strip, fold it in half, but leave a lip out on each side. Then just grab each end and pull. Maybe?
TylerTube went back to basics with this one and I love it
those adhesive hooks do not hold that well when theyre on a textured drywall surface
Plexiglass holds a lot more weight than paint my guy. Put it on a wall and the paint will peel off after a few pounds.
To test the adhesion of the tapes you could use your plexiglass setup. Tape the whole height of the plastic leaving some extra at the top for the pliers to grip. Grip the top and then test like you would.
Would have to find a way to fix it to prevent the plexiglass from tilting though, maybe a wooden frame that the plexiglass can slide up and down in but prevent the tip
All duct tape is threaded and preferated for convenience that why both snapped …test the durability horizontally instead…my guess is you will have different results…also it’s called Duct tape to hold together duct work for heating and cooling out then to a temperature test
Should watch Project farm for some testing rig ideas. Like duct tapes, i believe he did a weather test, Water and sunlight on them.
Just a suggestion Tyler. Ps... should have tasted dollar tree pickles to the name brand
Follow up, for testing weight ratings. Could do the same test, but with constant weight applied to it. Like hang a 10lb weight from the sticky hooks(command strips). And see how long till it gives up on sheet of painted drywall.
Not sure if you've done this yet but you should test mini heaters from Amazon! I've always wondered if they're any good 🤔
3:06 A good way that I found to remove super glue from your fingers is to just use a ordinary file and file the glue off then just wash your hand to get the last bits of
The type of super glue is cyanocrylate (sigh-an-no-cry-late) and is extremely common in the aquarium community because it is non-toxic, and bonds very powerfully underwater
I most often use zip ties for things I am not trying to hold any kinda weight with. And always buy them at dollar tree. Best place for lots of things, when you're broke af
For the tape put them on the plexiglass, lay it on the ground and put the weight on the edges, put the pliers on the end of the tape, then hook the pliers to the crane scale. If that makes sense.
When you stop to look at the pressure number the tension isn't released; meaning there's still pulling action on the wood blocks to break. You have to do a continuous pull within a set number of minutes. I hope you understand.
The difference between the zip ties is TIME, I've found the cheap dollar store Zips get hard and brittle after only a few months exposure to light or any type of weather while the name brand Zips last much longer.
I appreciate the imperial to metric conversion Tyler. Good videocas always 👍🏼
Leaving something in a ultrasonic cleaner for a certain amount of days. Each item in a different baggie, maybe with different liquids, so you can do all the items at once. This is one of my ideas.
Don’t ask me why I enjoy these videos but I do 😂😂
I have two dollar tree "command strips" in/around my apartment. One outside ON BRICK & another inside on glass.
The glass one had adhesive that is so strong I'm worried about pulling it off in fear of breaking the glass.
The strip outside is still going strong, surviving all seasonal climates, including extreme heat and humidity as well as tropical storms.
Do not underestimate the dollar tree products.
i just wanna say i love your videos man i been watching you for years ❤️
Loving the longer videos 👍
You are correct about the over a long period of time thing with the hooks. I've overloaded some and had them randomly fall off over time.
When you were putting on safety glasses, I was thinking maybe you should wear full motorcycle gear. Like a race suit.
And maybe layer the duct tape on the plexiglass, so the tape can be stronger than the adhesive?
Zip ties are usually used for cable consolidation and not for weight bearing. I personally would use other attachments for weight bearing neds.
