What one should I be buying for glass? Me needs a nice non-frosting superglue, but nowhere has any from that description, so I thought one of you folks would know the exact make/model/number of one I should be purchasing.

    Doesn't anyone know ANYTHING about superglue?!

    I've read that it was originally developed by the military for making scratch resistant gunsights, but they abandoned it because they couldn't get it to form a clear block, only frosted...

    Does that help? ;)

    How about silicone sealant? Durable, water resistant, flexible, stays good in a wide temperature range (up to well over 100 degrees centigrade, unlike most other glues).

    Superglue was used for that in Vietnam! It was already a thing by then though :)

    Don't get it in your eyes, true story my best mate glued his eyes shut with superglue. His tube of super glue had developed a bit of dry glue crust at the end of the tube, and it was pretty solid and he couldn't pick it off with his fingers. But the silly sod had been squeezing the tube quite a bit to get it out before he realised it was completely blocked so he used a small pair of scissors he had on his desk to snip the end off the applicator. Due to his previous squeezing there was enough pressure in the tube to spray a jet of glue into his face.

    Glued his eyes shut, he nearly sh*t his pants! Infact I think he might of a little bit actually :o

    I think that was the second time I ever saw him cry (and I probably would in that situation as well :o)!

    If he glued his eyes shut how did you know he was crying? Did his eyes swell up like balloons? :p

    Seriously though, I'd probably have a panic attack and cry aswell.
    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
    I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

    I once had a tube of superglue leak in my pocket. Its a funny story from when I was about 15.

    I was with a mate in the town of Chatham. We were on our bikes riding about the town, going into shops etc. I needed to get some superglue for something and took it out of its packet so I could put it in my jeans pocket. Then my mate decided it would be a laugh to cycle to Frindsbury. There was some horny tart working in a garage up there that he told me about. There was talk about how to approach her, and one idea was to ask if she sold condoms with little wavy hands on the end... :lol:

    Anyways, on the way, the tube of glue had punctured in my pocket, leaked through the lining of the pocket and stuck to my leg which stuck my knob as well. Arrrrghhh! The tart in the garage got me free with scissors, cutting away the pocket. It was a funny day... :lol:

    The only time I ever got superglue on my jeans it some kind of reaction and went really really hot, burned a big red mark on my leg, and pretty much ruined the jeans.

    You can buy non-fogging superglue from any decent plastic model kit shop if you still have one near to you. Other than that, try www.hannants.co.uk.

    What a terrible way to tell a tale, you leave out all the relevant info!

    Does your knob to this day have a patch of corduroy* on it?
    Was the tart careful enough not to puncture any vital organs? (the "organ")
    Working in a garage, her hands must have been greasy! So, that is why I am wondering if she did not slip while relieving you of your "pocket".

    *I wore corduroy pants growing up** so I'm just transferring my clothing experience on to you.

    **Still do (not the same ones mind you!) Denim is such an uncouth and terrible fabric. It's just not for me.

    when she snipped through your pocket, did your marbles roll out and bounce away across the floor?

    Many years ago, I spilled superglue on the carpet. It instantly caught fire! Yikes.
