Industrial-Strength adhesive comparison
One item I've always tried to
keep in the tool box is a tube of cyanoacrylate (SuperGlue).
I usually get to use a tube 2
or 3 times before it clogs up...even the more advanced containers still
seem to eventually stop flowing well before the glue is gone.
Welder is a new all purpose
contact adhesive I've had great luck with in the past year that's made
with a chemical known as Toluene.
It's somewhere between SuperGlue and a 2 part epoxy and is easy to work
with and even easier to open back up a few months later without the cap
being permanently stuck.

There is a danger to this stuff.

I'm guessing this glue is some kind of plastic dissolved in toluene with some additives. As the solvent evaportates, the plastic reverts to a solid.
