Directions for Use

Liquid Directions
Point the bottle away from your face and body when opening. Surface to be bonded must be clean and dry. Apply a drop of glue per square inch of area. Press items together immediately and allow a few seconds to grip. Let set for several minutes. Clean bottle tip and replace cap. Store super glue upright in a cool, dry place.

Gel Directions
Remove adhesive from child resistant container. Apply to one surface only at a rate of one drop per square inch. Hold parts firmly together until set. Store bottle in the child resistant container in a cool, dry place or refrigerator.

Accelerator Directions
Activates super glue to cure in 6—8 seconds and assists in making a strong instant bond. Apply accelerator to one surface and let dry. Apply super glue to the opposite surface and bond together.

Super Glue

Cyanoacrylates were invented in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover and Fred Joyner of Kodak Laboratories during experiments to make a special extra-clear plastic suitable for gun sights. Although not appropriate for the gun sights, they did find that cyanoacrylates would glue together many materials with incredible strength and quick action.

Recognizing the possibilities for a new adhesive, Kodak developed "Eastman #910" (later "Eastman 910") a few years later as the first true "super glue". A couple well-known commercial products are Super Glue and Krazy Glue.
