Most super glues will dry clear, but you can also find varieties that dry to an opaque white or even black if needed.

What is super glue?

Super glue is a powerful adhesive that only needs to be used in a thin layer to be effective. It can be used on many natural and synthetic surfaces but is more effective on textured surfaces as it can be removed from smooth surfaces with friction, like with sandpaper.

It is great to use for repairs when something has broken into pieces and is also popular for assembling hobby figures like model planes and statuettes.

Super glue FAQs

What is industrial glue?

Also called industrial adhesive, industrial glue is used in settings where a strong bond is a priority. Industrial glue is used in cars, planes and electronics, and, while it has similar properties to superglue, is for professional use only and not for hobbies.

How long does super glue take to set?

Super glue is designed to set quickly - lighter coats will set quicker than thick coats. Most super glues will partially set within a few seconds, with a complete setting within 10 minutes. You should leave glued objects for 24 hours to ensure they are fully cured before using.

How to remove super glue from skin

Super glue will naturally come off your skin in 3 to 4 days, but if you need to remove it quickly try rubbing it with some light sandpaper or a sugar scrub. Acetone can also help, as will vegetable oil when applied around the glue. Pick it off with your fingers after applying these products.
